2009 Kia Spectra Oil Change

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2009 Kia Spectra? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than 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.”

Your 2009 Spectra’s oil should be changed according to Kia’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Spectra 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 an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Kia if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Kia Spectra. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2009 Kia Spectra motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Kia has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 2009 Spectra. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your Spectra’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Spectra by considering your driving preferences, and odometer.
