Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2012 Kia Sorento? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Kia recommends changing your 2012 Sorento’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Sorento may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Kia recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Kia Sorento. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2012 Kia Sorento motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Kia has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2012 Sorento.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Sorento by taking into account your driving style, climate,
