One of the easiest and most effective forms of vehicle maintenance is going in for your routine oil change service, as outlined in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Kia owners who want to ensure their vehicle is operating at peak performance and that their engine lasts for as long as its lifespan allows should keep up to date with their oil changes. Below, we’ve put together everything drivers need to know about oil change service.
Oil changes are crucial for maintaining engine health and performance. Fresh oil lubricates engine components, reducing friction and preventing overheating. Over time, this oil breaks down and can become contaminated with dirt and debris, which can degrade the engine. Regular oil changes ensure that the engine runs smoothly, efficiently, and avoids wear. Neglecting oil changes can lead to decreased performance, wasted fuel, and even engine damage in extreme cases. By adhering to a consistent oil change schedule, you ensure optimal engine performance and reliability, protecting your investment in your vehicle.
If it’s been a while since your last oil change, some issues may arise that can help drivers identify when it’s time to go in. Ideally, drivers should get their oil changed before these warning signs emerge. A burning oil smell, decrease in fuel economy, and the engine running loud are all signs that your engine oil may be getting too old to serve its purpose.
