Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Kia K5

Prestige Kia - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Kia K5

Routine maintenance is the simplest way to protect the performance, safety, and warranty coverage of your Kia K5, and our factory-trained team is here to make every visit straightforward. At Prestige Kia — serving in Eau Claire, WI, Chippewa Falls, and Menomonie — we use Genuine Kia Parts and advanced diagnostic equipment to keep your sedan running as designed. Because driving conditions and model-year details can vary, the following schedule offers general guidance you can use to plan ahead; always consult your Owner’s Manual and the official Kia maintenance schedule for your specific vehicle. Whether your K5 features a turbocharged engine or a standard powertrain, following these intervals helps maximize fuel economy, braking confidence, and long-term reliability. We also make it easy to stay on track with online scheduling, transparent inspections, and clear recommendations that prioritize safety and value. If you ever have questions about what your K5 needs next, our advisors can review time-versus-mileage requirements and tailor maintenance to your commute, climate, and driving habits.

  1. Every 6 months or 5,000-7,500 miles: Replace engine oil and filter, rotate tires, inspect brakes, and top off fluids.
  2. Every 12 months or 15,000 miles: Replace cabin air filter, check wheel alignment, and inspect suspension and steering.
  3. Every 24 months or 30,000 miles: Replace engine air filter, service brake fluid as needed, and inspect fuel lines and hoses.
  4. Every 36 months or 45,000 miles: Inspect cooling system, test battery and charging system, and replace cabin filter if needed.
  5. At 60 months or 60,000 miles: Inspect or replace spark plugs per engine spec, inspect transmission fluid, and replace coolant per interval.
  6. At 90,000 miles: Perform a comprehensive inspection of belts, hoses, drivetrain components, and the water pump area, and road test.
  7. At every visit: Complete a multi-point inspection, check for available software or map updates, evaluate tire tread and pressure, and replace wiper blades as needed.

To make the most of this plan, track both months and mileage, schedule tire rotations with every oil change, and keep service records—these notes help verify warranty compliance and guide future decisions. Use the correct oil grade and parts that meet Kia specifications, and ask us to check for technical updates that may apply to your model year. If you notice warning lights, changes in braking feel, vibrations, or unusual noises, schedule an inspection without delay; addressing small issues early often prevents costlier repairs later. Our service center backs every visit with detailed multi-point reports, genuine components, and conveniences such as online check-in and status updates, so you can drive away confident in the results. Recommendations can vary by model year, options, and driving profile, so please contact the manufacturer or our team for details tailored to your vehicle. Ready to keep your Kia K5 at its best?
