What is the recommended oil change schedule for a Kia Sportage?

I recently purchased a Kia Sportage and I want to ensure I am properly maintaining it. Can you advise on the best oil change schedule for this vehicle?

Kia recommends getting an oil change every 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first.

It is always best to follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change schedule for optimal engine performance and longevity.

In addition to mileage and time, factors such as driving habits, climate, and the type of oil used can also affect the frequency of oil changes.
