Conventional Oil Change

About Conventional Oil Changes

Oil changes are a very common part of car ownership and involve taking your car into the shop, having the old oil drained, replaced with new oil, and in most cases, getting a new filter as well. When you need a Kia oil change, always take your car to a certified professional to ensure the work you receive meets Kia’s high standards. We have many options for oil change services, like conventional oil.

The Importance of Oil Changes

As you drive your Kia, your engine’s oil is under a great deal of heat and pressure, which causes your vehicle’s oil to break down. Old oil should be replaced as soon as possible because it has many negative side effects on your car’s performance, longevity, and your safety. Old oil cannot properly lubricate your engine or keep the temperature regulated. This can lead to your car overheating, unpredictable performance, possible accidents, and expensive engine repairs if it is left unchanged.

Conventional Oil Change Service

Conventional oil is the oldest and most traditional type of engine oil. A petroleum product that has been used for decades when you use conventional oil you know it will work with your Kia’s engine providing protection and performance. Conventional oil is also the cheapest option being far more affordable than a full-synthetic oil. The downsides of conventional oil include not performing as well at extreme temperatures as other semi and full-synthetic options and not lasting as long because conventional oil requires changing every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.

Signs You Need An Oil Change

If your Kia’s oil needs replacing there will be noticeable issues during routine driving in Henderson. These issues can include engine noises (such as knocking), increased exhaust, decreased miles per gallon, a check engine or oil change light on your display, and your Kia running roughly while idling. If you see any of these issues you should not ignore them as you run the risk of decreased performance and over a long enough time frame possible engine damage.
