Kia Forte Oil Change
When it comes to your Kia Forte’s engine oil, a good rule of thumb is that you should get it changed every six months or 7,500 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you’re constantly sitting in heavy traffic or driving in other extreme weather or road conditions, then it’s good to get it changed every 3,750 miles.
If you are located near West Chester, Philadelphia, Ardmore, Springfield, Exton, or Wilmington, and you have any questions—or if you need to schedule an oil change—please reach out to our team today.
Other Reasons to Change Your Oil
But, if you notice any of the following issues, it’s best not to wait—set up your service appointment today.
- Unusually Loud Engine Noises: You shouldn’t hear any knocking or banging noises coming from the engine—this is a sign that you can’t ignore, as it could mean that the engine isn’t lubricated.
- Dark or Dirty Oil: Ideally, your oil should be a semi-clear, amber color. If not, then you should change it, along with your engine oil filter. Contact us at Kia of West Chester as soon as possible.
- Exhaust Smoke: Thick and smoky exhaust emitting from the tailpipe could be an engine oil issue.
- Oily Smell: Last, but certainly not least, if the cabin smells like burnt oil, it’s time for a change.
Once again, stay on the lookout for these problems. Should you notice any of them, don’t wait 7,500 or 3,750 miles to contact us about a service appointment—they mean that your oil needs to be changed as soon as possible!
What’s so Important About Oil?
When you drive your Kia Forte, its engine depends on thousands of moving parts to get you down the road. Without any lubrication, these parts would just rub up against each other and cause excessive friction, eventually leading to the engine’s breakdown. Engine oil prevents this sort of catastrophic failure.
There are two main types of engine oil—conventional and synthetic. Check out our helpful article on the benefits and drawbacks of each if you’re still uncertain about which type you should use in your Kia Forte.
