You do know how to read, right? It’s right there in your Owners Manual. Pages 8-9 & 8-13. If you opened your eyes, you would see that dubber09 is from Canada, eh? He/she is SPOT ON changing their oil every 5K mi, as well as probably half the Sportage PHEV owners in the US. Not hard to qualify for the Severe Usage Schedule!…Every 5,000 miles? You do understand how a PHEV works right?
I mean, if you can’t afford oil changes, why in the heck did you waste your money on the PHEV? You’re never going to get that extra $7K+ back in gas vs electricity savings.
