A modern car engine is built to extremely tight tolerances in the quest for performance, durability and fuel economy and a thin layer of oil is the only barrier preventing metal to metal contact between the moving parts inside the engine. In addition to their lubricating function, the oil in modern engines also performs a cooling function, lowers noise levels, cleans the engine and prevents contaminants from accumulating. It is therefore easy to see why oil is so important and why it should be changed in line with manufacturers recommended guidelines.
Most new Kia’s are sold with a service plan and while the work carried out at these service intervals will vary depending on the mileage driven, the oil and oil filter will be changed at each service interval. Once vehicles have reached the end of their service plan it is important for owners to continue with regular maintenance in order to ensure ongoing reliability and longevity of the vehicle. One of the most important maintenance items is oil servicing in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Kia Retail are currently running a number of special offers that will help owners of older Kia models keep their vehicles in tip top shape. Owners of 2011-2016 Kia Sportage models can keep their vehicles running smoothly with an oil service for R1099.
Kia Rio owners can revitalize any model sold before 2018 with an oil service from only R999. Picanto owners can also give their cars the care it deserves with an oil service on any naturally aspirated Kia Picanto pre-2018 model from R999.
There is on-going pressure from the automotive aftermarket to attract customers to independent workshops but the advantages of servicing your Kia at a Kia workshop should make it an easy decision. When servicing your vehicle at a Kia dealership it is in the best possible hands. Service specialists with Kia expertise and up to date training on the latest models and technology will ensure that your vehicle is cared for to the same level as the engineers who designed and developed the vehicle originally.
A full service history with a franchised dealer will ensure that your Kia remains in tip top shape throughout its life, which will also contribute to an excellent resale value when the time comes to sell.
