Synthetic Motor Oil Maintenance & Service

Synthetic motor oil is made from petroleum resources that are significantly refined to improve its viscosity with a smaller molecule compared to conventional oil. Synthetic oil also contains additives that improve its resistance to thermal breakdown better than the alternatives. Although synthetic motor oil is the most advanced lubricant available, it will break down and serve as a poor lubricant.

Full-synthetic motor oil requires change service every 10,000 miles as detailed in the owner's manual. Synthetic oil change service at Kia of New Bern includes a certified technician removing the old oil and oil filter, inspecting for leaks, and installing Kia authorized full-synthetic motor oil and genuine OEM Kia oil filter to specifications.

Changing the oil at the recommended miles is the single most important maintenance needed to get the most out of an engine. Putting off a much-needed oil change causes the engine to work harder under increased friction and heat. The consequence of poor engine lubrication is reduced fuel efficiency and premature wear and tear of the engine's moving parts. With getting the longest-lasting engine on the line, it is always the best decision to get the oil changed, as detailed in the owner's manual.
