Robbie, the jury is out. Many will say to change according to your owner's manual, and many will say to change early since wear metals are higher during break in.
Either should work fine for your Kia. I am in the change early club, as IMO it is better to get all those suspended particles out. For our new vehicles, oil is changed at 500, 1500, 2500 and 5000 then according to owner's manual. Excessive by some folks' standards.
To be fair, Hondas have a very stout factory fill for break in, and go 10000 before the first change. I don't know what Kia's factory fill is though, perhaps someone will come along that does.

Yeah, not necessary. I probably shouldn't even acknowledge this idiotic post.
