What Is Motor Oil?


So, why is the oil so important? Well, motor oil is responsible for completing a few key jobs within the powertrain. First, as oil travels throughout the engine, it is responsible for cleaning by removing dirt and debris that may have gotten in. Simultaneously, the oil is responsible for providing lubrication, allowing different engine parts to interact with each other properly.

Performing an Oil Change

As you drive more and more, the oil will become old and dirty to the point where it eventually can no longer complete its job and will need to be changed. Fortunately, completing an oil change is usually a quick fix that can be completed in a few steps, which are listed here:

  1. First, you will need to remove the plugs so that the old oil can drain out of your Kia automobile. At this time, you will also want to remove the old oil filter, which also will have become quite dirty.
  2. Once the oil is drained, you can insert the plugs back in and add a new oil filter to your ride.
  3. From there, your ride will be ready to receive new oil.
  4. Having received new oil, the oil levels will just need to be checked. Then, you will be ready to get back out on the roadways.

This process can normally be completed in under an hour. So, whether you turn to our team to complete the service or you prefer to DIY at home, you’ll be back behind the wheel in no time.

Do I Need New Oil?

Unsure if you need new oil? There are a few ways you can find out—the easiest of which is monitoring your mileage. Typically, the oil will need to be changed for every 5,000 to 7,000 miles you drive. So, if you have approached this interval, there is a strong possibility you need a change.

If you are unsure of how long it has been since your last change, you will want to look out for symptoms that indicate subpar oil performance, such as the following:

  • Visible exhaust
  • Falling oil levels
  • Increased engine noise while driving
  • Shaking while idling
  • Persistent check engine light
