General Guidelines for How Often to Change Oil

You can surely count on the 7,500 to 10,000-mile suggested range to enjoy a clean engine that will run fine on Bellevue, NE roads.

For example, if you are using your vehicle for high mileage off-roading, commercial use, racing, and heavy towing, then you may need to bring your vehicle earlier than expected. You also check your owner’s manual for tips on whether you need motor oils or conventional oils.

How to Change Oil on a Car

If you are looking to keep yourself on a consistent schedule, you can monitor your vehicle for leaks, oil discoloration, and metal particles in your oil. If you are looking to perform a Kia Soul oil change or a Kia Optima oil change with us at Edwards Kia, make sure to follow these steps:

1. Jack your car up with jack stands or steel ramps.
2. Locate the oil drain plug near the bottom of the oil pan under the engine. Place an oil basin underneath the plug, and then unscrew the plug and allow the old oil to drain completely. When your oil has drained, you can replace the plug.
3. Locate your oil filter, then remove it with an oil filter wrench. Make sure to use the basin to catch any extra oil from when you remove the filter.
4. Grab your new filter, and then place a little bit of oil around the rubber seal. This ensures your filter is watertight. This is an essential part of the process.
5. Set the new filter in place, then tighten it by hand.
6. After your old oil is completely drained and the new filter is in place, you can remove your oil cap. Pour the specific amount of new oil into your vehicle. Make sure to consult the owner’s manual if you are unsure about how much oil you need to put into your vehicle. Replace the oil cap when you are finished.
7. Before you drive off, you can check your oil level by pulling out the dipstick. If there isn’t enough, you should add an additional ounce into your vehicle. Once you get a proper oil level reading, you should be good to go.
