Should I check my Kia Sephia motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Sephia’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Kia Sephia oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of 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.
