How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual for the most accurate intervals for your driving habits.
• For many modern engines using synthetic oil, a common guideline is about every 7,500 miles or 12 months under normal driving conditions.
• Severe conditions—frequent short trips, towing, dusty climates, or heavy traffic—often require more frequent changes.
• Our technicians will inspect oil condition and advise the ideal interval, and we can reset the maintenance minder when service is completed.

What type of oil does a 2024 Kia Sorento take?

• Many modern Kia engines recommend a full synthetic oil (manufacturer guidance often lists 0W-20 or equivalent), but the exact specification depends on the powertrain.
• Using OEM-grade or manufacturer-approved synthetic oil preserves engine performance and supports warranty compliance.
• Courtesy Kia of Brandon confirms the correct oil grade for your 2024 Kia Sorento and uses factory-approved products and filters.
• Always refer to the owner’s manual or let our certified technicians verify the correct oil at the time of service.

How much oil does a 2024 Kia Sorento need?

• Oil capacity varies by engine; typical modern four-cylinder engines require approximately 4.5–5.5 quarts, but the exact amount depends on the specific engine configuration.
• Our service advisors confirm the precise capacity for your vehicle and refill to the factory-specified level to avoid overfill or underfill risks.
• Proper fill levels protect the engine and maintain warranty coverage; any warranty work must be completed at a certified dealership.
• Bring your vehicle to Courtesy Kia of Brandon and our technicians will measure and document the oil change for complete service transparency.
