When to Change 2024 Kia Niro EV Engine Oil

Kia recommends having your 2024 Kia Niro EV’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Niro EV may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle 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, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Kia Niro EV. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
