The Ins, Outs, and Side-to-Sides of Our Kia Oil Change Service

It may seem like our technicians are running a magic show behind the doors of our service center; that's not the case. A Kia oil change can seem daunting if you're not trained in car servicing, but ask our highly-trained team what's going on, and they'll reveal the precise yet straightforward nature of a Kia oil change.

Every vehicle is different, but the process begins by getting a pulse on the lifeblood of your vehicle (its engine oil). We determine and use the manufacturer-recommended Kia oil type for your vehicle to keep your Kia warranty intact — unlike some fly-by-night shops that insist an oil change truly is magic.

But before that new oil goes in, the old stuff has to come out. We remove the drain plug, which can sometimes be a tricky little thing to get to, and the oil (as the name suggests) drains from the drain plug's hole. We drain said oil into a special container and dispose of it in an environmentally-conscious manner.

Before we do, though, we can check the old oil for traces of metal fragments or debris; this quick diagnostic can help prevent major repairs down the road. We then remove your Kia oil filter. The drain plug goes back on, and a genuine Kia oil filter follows suit. Once the drain and filter are in place, we fill your vehicle with fresh oil until we reach the precise Kia oil capacity. As a final step, we often inspect your vehicle for any signs of leaking oil.

Voila, your Kia oil change is complete.

What is a Kia oil filter?

---

Replacing the oil filter is a vital part of a Kia oil change. Why? It's right there in the name; an oil filter filters the oil to help remove contaminants. The oil must resist extreme forces and lubricate your engine components with full effectiveness. Without a clean, high-quality filter, the oil may not be able to do its job correctly.

How much does a Kia oil change cost?

---

Every Kia oil change is different, as every Kia vehicle is different. Some models need more oil than others, some have a larger filter, and some vehicles' oil type is a special blend. Our Kia service center in Fort Lauderdale, FL, offers a competitive price for your next oil change; give us a call to get an estimate for your oil change price.

How often should a KIA vehicle get an oil change?

Nearly all recent-model-year Kia vehicles filled with synthetic oil require an oil change every 5,000 miles or six months (whichever arrives first). Early-model Kia cars that use conventional oil will need to have their oil changed around every 3,000 miles. If you are towing or find yourself driving in harsh conditions frequently, your oil change interval may be shorter; speak to a Gunther Kia service advisor about a Kia oil change interval that accounts for your specific driving conditions.

What kind of oil do KIA vehicles use?

Depending on your year and model, you may notice many different oil formulations for Kia vehicles. Some unauthorized Kia service centers use everything from conventional to synthetic oil blends and carry varying oil viscosity grades like 10w40 or 20w50. But, at an authorized Kia dealership like Gunther Kia, we only use the correct manufacturer-specified oil; Kia specifies full synthetic oil for all vehicles, with grades of 5W30 or 0w20, and that's all we use for your Kia oil change at our service center.

Do KIA dealerships use synthetic oil?

While we can't speak for other Kia dealerships, we can attest to the usage of synthetic oil and synthetic oil only when you bring your vehicle in for a Kia oil change at our dealership. Synthetic oil is the recommended type by Kia, and it can help your vehicle achieve its highest performance and efficiency potential. Even if you buy an off-brand vehicle from us that requires synthetic oil, you can count on it being serviced per its manufacturer's guidelines.
