Quote:Volvo sounds like they suck then.

 

I've always changed mine myself at 2500 miles. My Kia says 7500 or 5000 in bad conditions. I go with 5000 and I feel real leery about it.

 

PLEASE don't go 7,000 between Kia Oil changes! And for the LOVE of GOD make sure you change the Timing Belts on time that's my only gripe with Kia's. I swear they have timers on those belts at 61k they just go POP and it's game over.

 

edit: 5,000 should be fine, it's the new norm most dealers are saying 5,000 and it has to do with standard oil being a blended synthetic these days.
