Hello,
I have a 2014 Sorento 4 Cylinder.
I just had an interesting discussion with the dealership that kind of contradicts everything I have read in the manual/seen on the internet.
I just took it in for the first oil change at 6k miles (I have seen some dispute about whether to take it in early for the first oil change or at 7500 - so I just took a guess)
The dealer will be using conventional oil and they said that the manual is just general KIA information, and that in the state of Ohio they recommend every 3000-3500 miles for an oil change. Not the 7500.
They also stated that my car is not built for synthetic oil.
This more or less contradicts a lot of what I have read. I went ahead and let them do the oil change since it was free, but I will most likely be doing the oil changes myself going forward with full synthetic oil.
It just sounds like they want me to pay them to put crappy conventional oil in every 3k miles.
What do you guys think? Also - if you have any references that would be great!
