Your 2010 Rio5’s oil should be changed according to Kia’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Rio5 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Rio5 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Kia Rio5. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
