Kia recommends changing your 2006 Rio5’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Rio5 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.
