Kia Oil Change & Filter Change In Bristol, TN
Oil Changes
Why Choose Full Synthetic Vs. Conventional Oil
The true measurement for motor oil is how well it can protect your engine from the demands of everyday use. Full synthetic oil can protect your engine better and keep your vehicle on the road longer than conventional oil. For all your oil change services, ask for full synthetic oil to enjoy these advantages.
Full Synthetic Oil:
Reduces sludge formation
With fewer impurities than conventional and blended oils, it helps reduce engine sludge and keeps your oil flowing like it should.
Provides greater engine wear protection
With advanced wear protection, it helps fight friction to keep your engine running like new.
Helps combat engine deposits
It can help keep engine surfaces clean, as it combats the formation of harmful deposits by suspending and dispersing contaminants.
Performs at high temperatures
Engine overheating can cause costly damage. It can provide great high-temperature protection between oil changes, even at temperatures as high as 500°F.
Performs in low temperatures
It is engineered to provide outstanding low-temperature protection to -40°F.

Schedule Oil ChangeAre there oil stains under your car?
If you see oil stains on your garage floor or in your driveway, your car could have an oil leak.
Oil leaks can happen because as cars get older, the gaskets and seals begin to break down and the internal oil pressure can push oil through cracks or gaps in these seals. Common areas for oil leaks can include the Valve Cover Gasket(s), Oil Pan Gasket or even the Oil Pan Drain Plug (or "Oil Plug"). If ignored, a small leak could quickly become a large problem and damage the engine due to low oil pressure. If you think your car may have an oil leak, bring your car in and let one of our certified technicians diagnose the source and provide you with the best option for repairing your oil leak today.
Did your Low Oil Pressure / Oil Level Light come on?
Low oil pressure or low oil level can be a serious problem for your car.
Your engine needs to have the right amount of oil in order to stay properly lubricated or you risk permanent engine damage from increased friction. Low oil pressure can be caused by the oil level being too low or by a malfunction with the oil pump or the engine itself. If your dashboard oil pressure warning lamp has come on after starting the car and stays on or if the light comes on while the engine is running (even if it goes off quickly), this means that your car needs immediate attention.

Below, we'll talk a bit about Kia oil change frequency, the appeal of using synthetic oil, and some of the other services we offer here at Wallace Kia of Bristol.
When Is It Time for a Kia Oil Change?
Your car's recommended oil change interval is typically listed in your owner's manual. It varies from model to model – the prescribed Kia Soul oil change timeframe may differ from that for a Telluride, let alone a car from another manufacturer.
Speaking generally, we'll note that older automobiles, particularly those from before 2021, often require an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles on the road or three to six months. These vehicles usually do not use synthetic oil, which is a major factor in the short length of their recommended service timeline.
There are several advantages to synthetic oil. It has fewer impurities than conventional or blended oils, which can reduce the formation of gunk or sludge. This, in turn, makes for less wear on the engine as a whole. Synthetic oil also tends to perform better in extreme temperatures.
New Kia vehicles are engineered to use synthetic oil. In addition to the benefits listed above, synthetic oils – and smart engine design – tend to have much longer lifespans; fresh Kia models tend to need an oil change after 7,500 or even 10,000 miles on the road. You'll have to get Kia oil filter change service far less often with a newer iteration than with an older model, whether it's from Kia or another brand.
