Our Most Recommended Kia Maintenance Tips
Here are our most recommended Kia maintenance tips:
Stick Close to Factory Recommended Service
In order to take the best care of your vehicle, we recommend sticking close to your Kia’s factory-recommended maintenance schedule. Located in your owner's manual, this factory-recommended schedule will detail all of the services that your vehicle will need throughout its life.
Stay on Top of Your Oil Changes
Your oil is the lifeblood of your engine, responsible for cooling, lubricating, and cleaning many of the moving parts inside your engine. Failing to perform timely oil changes can result in irreversible engine damage.
Check your Tire Pressure
Because your tires are the only component of your vehicle that actually touches the road, it's important to make sure they're always in good shape. Once a month we recommend that you check your tire pressure to make sure they match the recommendations on the inside of your driver's door sill.
Check Your Tire Tread
Your tire tread is responsible for providing the vital grip that you need to drive your vehicle safely. While not every person has a tire tread depth measuring tool handy, you can check to see if you're tired are above the minimum track by performing the penny test.
The Penny Test
Simply take a penny and stick it in the groove of your tire. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, it's time for a new set of tires.
Don’t Forget Your Air Filters
Your air filters are responsible for ensuring that both you and your engine breathe clean air. Failing to change your cabin air filter can result in the inhalation of harmful pollutants, while neglecting your engine air filter can result in reduced performance and fuel economy.
Change Your Windshield Wiper Blades
Many drivers don't realize the importance of new wiper blades until the next torrential downpour and their windshield wipers are only smearing water across their windshield. We recommend replacing your windshield wipers once per year to ensure optimal visibility all year long.
