Your 2012 Forte Koup’s oil should be changed according to Kia’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Forte Koup may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

2012 Kia Forte Koup Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Kia Forte Koup? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Forte Koup’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Kia oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Kia Forte Koup spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Kia Forte Koup oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Kia Forte Koup oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Kia Forte Koup? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Kia Forte Koup oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Forte Koup's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Kia Forte Koup oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
