Kia Seltos Service in Arlington, Texas

Kia Seltos Service in Arlington, TX

All too often, drivers neglect the importance of maintaining their vehicles. Thankfully, our team at Vanguard Kia provides exemplary vehicle service options, from brake inspections to oil changes and more. Our team is well-acquainted with the Kia Seltos, too, so we can provide quality, specialized maintenance service for yours.

Let's take a look at why it's so important for you to stop by and have us service your Kia.

What Is a Service Interval?

A service interval is the period of time before a component requires another maintenance session with our team.

Each component within your vehicle will have a unique service interval. This is because the components within your vehicle are placed under varying levels of stress as you journey across the DFW area. Some can endure more rigorous conditions and high-stress situations longer than others, thus requiring more maintenance.

After your first service visit, our team can provide you with the date we recommend for your Seltos's next maintenance session.

What Type of Oil Is Best for the Kia Seltos?

The style of motor oil you use is important. Different kinds of motor oil will vary significantly in effectiveness. Our team can assist you in selecting a quality motor oil that's specialized for your Kia Seltos.

There are three kinds of motor oil: traditional, synthetic and hybrid. Traditional motor oil is a crude oil designed to clean your engine while helping it resist the negative effects of particles, heat, collisions and time. It is a serviceable option but not the best for the Kia Seltos. The Seltos benefits most from synthetic motor oil. This style uses stronger chemicals and more powerful detergents to perform the same function but with more significant results. Lastly, hybrid options combine the two form factors to offer a combination of affordability and quality. Hybrid motor oils are compatible with the Kia Seltos, but they won't perform as well as a synthetic option.

How Often Should You Change the Oil?

Engine oil becomes ridden with harmful particles and debris over time. It will also erode steadily as it runs throughout the engine. As a result, frequent oil changes are a necessity for maintaining an engine.

With this requirement comes a natural question: How long before the next oil change? Our recommendation is that you get an oil change about every 10,000 miles. In practice, that usually ends up being between 6 to 12 months, depending on your daily driving habits around Dallas, TX. Our specialists can provide you with a more accurate estimate when you come in for service.

What Are Other Important Components to Maintain?

Your Kia Seltos is a complex machine and has many other crucial components besides its engine. The braking system is another example of a component with a short service interval. Your brakes endure the most punishment of perhaps any component within your vehicle. The result of this stress is a list of possible issues, like loud squeaking, rough and uncooperative turns and damage to other components. Our team can provide a quality and expedient brake flush service at your convenience. This will remove old brake fluid and all harmful debris before replenishing your brakes with a fresh supply.

Another lesser-known component that requires maintenance is the power steering function. If this system goes neglected for too long, you won't have as much traction or maneuverability when making sudden turns. Flush services are available for this component at our store in Arlington, TX.


We can provide your Kia Seltos with dozens of other useful services. Likewise, our team can offer a detailed answer to any of your maintenance-related questions. Schedule an appointment online so that we can take good care of your Kia Seltos!
