Can I prevent engine sludge in my Kia?

Kia Spectra engine sludge happens when motor oil breaks down, thickens and gathers debris. The goop can damage your engine and lead to overheating. Work to prevent engine sludge by investing in routine oil changes, using Kia-approved oil, and avoiding short trips.

Do I need to follow Kia's recommended maintenance schedule?

Yes! Kia has written a maintenance schedule for your Spectra. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

How much information should I provide the technician about my Kia?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Kia Spectra, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.
