What the service covers on a Kia Sorento

An oil change begins with draining the used engine oil and refilling the Kia Sorento with the oil grade and capacity specified by the manufacturer. The visit also includes a new oil filter, which helps capture contaminants as the engine operates. The technician resets the oil-life monitor so the vehicle can track the next maintenance interval and checks the underhood fluid levels as part of the visit.

Oil can lose its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris before its appearance clearly signals a problem. A reminder light, mileage beyond the previous service, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at startup can indicate that service is due. Booking service replaces the oil and filter with the grade the engine specifies and records the visit in the vehicle’s history. Drivers can schedule service at Courtesy Kia of Brandon.

Relevant NHTSA safety campaigns include 20V750000 for the 2013 Kia Sorento, 17V586000 for the 2017 Kia Sorento, and 17V224000 for 2013–2014 Kia Sorento vehicles. A franchised dealer can check open recalls by VIN and perform an applicable recall remedy at no charge to the owner.
