How often should the oil in a Kia Sorento be changed?

I just purchased a new Kia Sorento and I'm wondering how often the oil should be changed to keep the engine running smoothly. Can anyone provide some insight on the recommended oil change interval for this vehicle?

Generally, it is recommended to change your oil every 5,000-7,500 miles for optimal engine performance. However, for newer models like the Kia Sorento, you may be able to stretch that interval to 8,000-10,000 miles. It's always best to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations based on your driving habits.

I've been a mechanic for over 10 years and I always recommend sticking to the 5,000-7,500 mile oil change interval for the Kia Sorento. This will help prevent any buildup of sludge and keep your engine running smoothly for years to come.

As a Kia Sorento owner myself, I've found that changing the oil every 5,000-7,500 miles is the best way to ensure optimal engine performance. However, if you do a lot of stop-and-go driving or frequently tow heavy loads, it may be wise to change the oil more frequently to protect your engine.
