I have a 2018 Kia Forte 2.0L MPI/GDI engine. Car is used for generally shorter, around town use. Currently has 7,300 miles with annual mileage running about 5,000. Had first oil change at Kia dealer around 2,300 miles (oil unknown). I'm not happy with the dealer because:
So the plan is to only visit the Kia dealer for TSB's and have oil changes and tire rotations done at Walmart (no experience there). I want valid oil change records so not currently interested in DIY.
Oil recommendations from the owner's manual: 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30 API SM / ILSAC GF-4 or above.
We live in north Florida with winter lows in the 40's and summer highs in low 90's. Car will seldom leave this area. I'm thinking maybe a good 10W-30?
I'm open to any recommendations regarding Walmart service, oil type and filter type.
Thanks.
- At my last visit they strongly recommended a $200 fuel injector cleaning for my Kia Sorento with 40K miles. They said check your owner's manual. I did and it wasn't there (which I expected).
- When I had the two Kias I went there roughly every six months. Just about every time there were completely new service reps.
- They're extremely slow - always 60-90 min for oil change.
