Your 2005 Amanti’s oil should be changed according to Kia’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Amanti in the above table. Outside of Kia-recommended oil change intervals, your Amanti may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Kia if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Kia Amanti. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
