Oil Change Service in Gilbert, AZ

Oil Change Service in Gilbert, AZ

If you want to drive to locations like Desert Sky Park with minimal issues, it's critical to have your oil changed routinely. But how often should you have this fluid swapped each year? While the intervals vary for different vehicles, our Horne Kia team has created this guide to let you know the rule of thumb you should follow for optimal engine results.

The Importance of Oil Changes

Oil is a vital fluid that Kia models require to run effectively in the Gilbert area and beyond. In order to ensure that the powertrain performs as advertised, you'll need to get the oil changed regularly. When you do this, the engine's components will be lubricated. This reduces the metal friction within the system, and it decreases the residue as it works. Additionally, oil stabilizes the temperature as the motor is functioning. When the fluid is in good condition, it promotes more strength to the Kia vehicle and offers the estimated fuel economy. As time goes on, the quality of the oil will begin to degrade, so it's important to have it exchanged for a fresh batch.

Warning Signs

It's common to forget when your oil needs to be changed. Over time, you'll begin to notice issues with the Kia model. Does your engine make a noise when it first starts up or while you're driving on State Road 202? Sometimes, it could be a ticking noise that occurs as you're idling. If there's no strange sounds but you noticed that you're stopping at the fuel stations more, it could mean that your oil has lost its consistency. Another problem that your car may face is lower horsepower. This could be from thicker oil, which can turn into sludge and clog the filter leading to smoke from the exhaust. Fortunately, our Service Department mechanics are able to fix any issues and get you back on the road safely.

Timeline

The lifespan of your oil depends on the type that cycles through your engine. Typically, oil can last between 5,000 and 7,500 miles. Conventional types usually have shorter durations, while synthetic blends are able to be used longer. Full-synthetic oil can have a life cycle of 15,000 miles, and it has the potential to stay healthy for a year, whereas the aforementioned types typically last around six months. Ultimately, this lubricant's quality depends on the brand. Less expensive oil tends to have a shorter lifespan, while premium alternatives provide better results for models like the Kia Sportage, Sorento, and K4.

Horne KIA has been a wonderful place to purchase my new car! Marissa, my salesperson, worked tirelessly to help me find the car that fit my wants and needs. The facility provides a cool, clean environment that kept my husband and I comfortable as we moved through the purchase process. Thank you, Marissa and the KIA team!

I've been in and out of there quite a few times being very indecisive of what vehicle I wanted to get. Aaron, my salesman, was awesome through the whole process. He really listened to what I wanted to do and helped me get a really great deal. This is the best car buying experience I have ever had. Highly recommend Aaron and the team at Horne Kia!

Horne had the very best pricing of everyone including Costco. We worked with Danielle and he was super professional, personable, humble and just very authentic. It was a pleasure working with him and the other gentleman that went thru the pricing, financing and insurance. Wish every dealership transaction was this pleasant and quick!

I just bought a used Ford Bronco from Horne Kia and had a great experience. My sales rep Jacob was very friendly and knowledgeable; a pleasure to deal with. After looking at the CARFAX, I see that in prepping this vehicle for sale, they replaced all 4 tires, changed the oil and installed a new air filter and cabin air filter. They surely could have squeezed out more profit by not doing any of this work, so I’m so appreciative of them doing so. And I even drove away with a full tank of gas. Thank you Jacob and Horne Kia

We just purchased a KIA EV6 WIND from Damian Wisdom at HORNE KIA. We are his first EV Sale! He made this purchase easy and smooth! He was able to answer all our questions! Looked them up if unsure. I wanted white…he looked in his inventory and came out and said “let’s go check out your UNICORN!” EV’s are hard to get and usually a waiting list…I feel lucky to have stopped in here and actually get what I was looking for! Way to go Damian! I wish you the BEST in all your future sales and I highly recommend anyone looking for KIA to stop in and ask for DAMIAN! He knows his stuff!

Overall, we had a Good experience.

Found the perfect vehicle at Horne Kia. We came to look for a Kia Sorento in wolf gray. The dealership had it and was inside the show room. Looked classy, modern, and sporty. The color took the vehicle to another level. Pleased with the sales rep Ali, the manager Ray, financing with Tom. They were very patient with us as we were undecided to many times. Tom was easy to work with and smooth signing at the financing. No hassle or pressure from these guys. Went home with my beautiful vehicle. Overall, we had a Good experience.

I have never been so happy and relaxed buying a car.

Everyone was so nice during my experience purchasing a car here. Hadair was so great and did everything he could to help my family and I get into something that works for us. Out of the 5+ new cars I’ve purchased elsewhere Horne Kia has been by far the best. I would definitely recommend this dealership to family and friends!

They were willing to work within our budget and achieved a sale. Thank you!!
