What the service covers on a Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid

An oil change for the Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid begins with draining the used engine oil and refilling it with the oil grade and capacity specified for the vehicle. The service also includes a new oil filter, which helps capture contaminants as oil circulates through the engine. After the replacement, the oil life monitor is reset so the vehicle can track the next maintenance interval correctly. Underhood fluid levels are checked as part of the visit.

Engine oil gradually loses its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris, even before it looks dirty. That is why oil-change timing is based on mileage and time rather than appearance alone. Drivers may notice an oil-change reminder light, mileage beyond the last service, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at startup. When these signs appear, drivers can schedule service with Courtesy Kia of Brandon.
