Kia recommends changing your 2002 Sportage’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Sportage in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Sportage may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Kia Sportage. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2002 Kia Sportage motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Kia has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2002 Sportage. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Sportage's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, and mileage.
Wondering if we carry the right motor oil for your Kia? Your Sportage engine deserves the very best, which is why we only stock the best!
