Need more info about 2012 Kia Rio oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Kia recommends changing your 2012 Rio’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Rio may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Kia recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Kia Rio. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2012 Kia Rio motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Kia has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best oil for 2012 Kia Rio vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Rio by taking into account your driving preferences, climate,
