One of the most important maintenance tasks for any vehicle is a regular oil change. Kia recommends that you change your engine’s oil every 3,000 miles if you are using a conventional oil product. Regular oil changes for semi-synthetic oils and fully synthetic oils allow for more miles between each one. At Lafountaine Kia of Ypsilanti, our certified technicians can help you determine which oil is best for your vehicle and your driving habits. They will also help you keep your Kia vehicle on track by sending maintenance reminders.
Conventional oil has no synthetics and is good for approximately 3,000 miles. This type of oil works well for any vehicle that you drive regularly. Conventional oil is the most affordable of the different types of motor oils and comes in several different weights or grades.
Semi-synthetic oil is often used for vehicles that are driven under more strenuous conditions. This type of oil works well for vehicles that are driven for long periods. Semi-synthetic oils are often considered to be mid-grade and are slightly more expensive than conventional oils. Oil change intervals for semi-synthetic oils can be extended to approximately 6,000 miles.
Fully synthetic oils protect vehicles that are driven during the most extreme conditions. This type of oil breaks down at a much slower rate, allowing for oil change intervals of almost 8,000 miles or longer. Fully synthetic oils are much more expensive than conventional oil products but are capable of longer-lasting protection.
With diesel engines, you can use either conventional oils, semi-synthetic oils, or fully synthetic oils. The oil change intervals for each would be similar to those used with gasoline-powered engines. The technicians at Lafountaine Kia of Ypsilanti can assist you in determining which type of oil is best for your vehicle and your driving habits.
Regular oil changes are essential if you want your Kia to run efficiently. With proper maintenance, your Kia vehicle can provide you with several years of use. When you purchase your Kia, find the maintenance schedule and learn what system should be serviced and when. The service technicians at Lafountaine Kia of Ypsilanti will assist you in keeping track of when your oil changes are due and will send reminders to you.
