Oil Change and Maintenance

Following Kia's specifications on oil change intervals and the type of oil is critical

Kia of Saco believes that using quality products is very important as well. Using oil with quality detergents, high temperature ratings, and friction reducing additives will allow your engine to run longer and more efficiently. To add even more protection, ask us about our synthetic oil change service. Synthetic oils offer greater protection, friction reduction, and longevity than standard oils.

These synthetic oils are tested in labs where they are run through vigorous tests and proven to hold up in the harshest environments. Synthetic oils reduce friction and maintain normal engine temperatures in extreme hot and cold weather, where normal mineral-based oils cannot.

Ultimately most oils will meet the needs of your vehicle, but the most important thing is to change the oil in your vehicle regularly.

It's also important to replace your vehicle's oil filter during an oil change. Beware of discount stores that only change your car's oil! The oil filter is designed to capture particles that get into your engine from the outside, or are the result of use. Excessive particles in your car's oil system can eventually cause premature wear and damage to internal components.

Kia of Saco will change the oil in your vehicle with quality products, and replace the filter with a genuine Kia oil filter, in a reasonable amount of time. Kia of Saco also offers synthetic oil changes as well if your vehicle requires it or if you feel your engine is worth the better protection.

Keeping up with Factory Scheduled Maintenance is Essential for Your Vehicle to Have a Long Life.

Okay, so you've bought that dream Kia you've always wanted... don't forget to keep it new by scheduling regular maintenance check-ups. At Kia of Saco, we use only genuine Kia parts, and we also provide a variety of services, including oil changes, transmission service, brakes, and even engine repairs. Whatever the need, we've got you covered.

Wintry road conditions and harsh summer heat can put additional wear and tear on your vehicle, so it's important to schedule maintenance check-ups and service on a regular basis to keep your car in top condition year-round. You don't want to be that driver who neglects necessary check-ups and one day find that your car won't start right before you have to go to work. Or worse, don't wait until your car begins steaming on a summer day before you remember to add coolant!

We understand that times are tough and the economy can put a pinch on your wallet, but your car is an important daily asset. If you make taking care of your vehicle a priority, you can rest assured that it will run smoothly at all times. Plus, a car that is well-maintained is easier to sell to a future owner.
