Getting a Kia Oil Change with Folsom Lake Kia

One of the most common maintenance tasks you'll need to perform as a Kia vehicle owner is a Kia oil change. To keep your car functioning smoothly, there is a lubricating oil inside your engine that keeps parts moving as they're supposed to.

When this oil begins to break down, it can drastically affect your vehicle's performance and compromise your safety. Visit us at Folsom Lake Kia for all your oil change and service needs!

When do I Need an Oil Change?

Most technicians recommend that you visit a service center approximately once every 5,000 miles, but there are a number of warning signs that may appear when you need to visit our Folsom Kia service center.

If you drive a newer car, it's likely that your car's oil-life monitoring system will inform you when an oil change is necessary. If you drive a car that doesn't monitor its own oil health, pay attention to these symptoms to know when it's time to visit us:

• Oil has a dirty or dark appearance
• Engine makes odd noises when running
• Strange-colored smoke emits from the exhaust pipe
• Car's gas mileage decreases
• "Check engine" light is illuminated

The Benefits of Regular Oil Changes

To ensure that your vehicle and all of the Kia parts inside are performing correctly, regular engine maintenance check-ups and oil changes are absolutely vital. The oil in your engine helps to prevent carbon and other particles from clogging up your car's system and also assists in pulling heat away from your engine as you drive.

An oil change can be easily overlooked, but fresh oil can completely reinvigorate a car. Not only will having new oil keep you safe, but it'll extend the lifespan of your engine and save you money over time.
