2006 Kia Sorento Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Kia Sorento, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Sorento could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Sorento, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2006 Kia Sorento!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Kia, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Sorento perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2006 Kia Sorento problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Kia Sorento and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Sorento’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2006 Kia Sorento be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Kia Sorento battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sorento) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Kia Sorento won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 2006 Kia Sorento's engine run smoother. To learn how often Kia recommends you have the oil changed in your 2006 Sorento, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2006 Kia Sorento? We can help with that, too!

To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Kia Sorento's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Kia Sorento maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
