Should I check my Kia Sedona motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Kia Sedona engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my Kia Sedona oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Kia exhaust smoke gray or blue?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Who can change the oil on my Kia Sedona?

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Kia Sedona oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.

What does it mean if my Kia Sedona oil light comes on?

Your Kia Sedona oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.

Do I need to change my Sedona's oil filter when I get an oil change?

Every time you change the oil in your Kia Sedona, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.

When to Change 2021 Kia Sedona Engine Oil

Need more info about 2021 Kia Sedona oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about 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 having your 2021 Kia Sedona’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Sedona in the above table. Your Sedona 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 vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Kia recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Kia Sedona. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My Kia Sedona Need?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Kia Sedona. Kia has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 2021 Sedona. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Sedona's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Sedona by considering your driving preferences, and mileage.
