How do I check the oil level in my Kia Niro?

I recently purchased a Kia Niro and I want to ensure that I am properly maintaining it. Can you guide me on how to check the oil level in my car?

Hi Samantha, maintaining the proper oil level in your Kia Niro is crucial for the health and longevity of your engine. To check the oil level, park your car on level ground and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, locate the oil dipstick, pull it out and wipe it clean. Reinsert the dipstick and pull it out again to get an accurate reading of the oil level. The dipstick will have markings indicating where the ideal oil level should be. If the level is below the minimum mark, it's time to add more oil. Make sure to use the recommended oil for your Niro model. Check your owner's manual for more detailed instructions.

Hello Samantha, it's great that you're taking proactive steps to maintain your Kia Niro. Checking the oil level regularly is definitely a good habit to develop. In addition to checking the oil level, you should also keep an eye on the oil color and viscosity to ensure that the oil is still in good condition. When adding or changing the oil, make sure to also replace the oil filter. This will help keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently. As always, refer to your owner's manual for specific maintenance schedules and procedures.
