Arapahoe Kia - Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Kia Sorento
Keeping your Kia Sorento running its best comes down to a clear, repeatable maintenance rhythm tailored to how and where you drive. Daily commuting, weekend mountain trips, heat, cold, dust, and stop-and-go traffic all influence when certain services should be performed. If you spend time near Centennial, CO, you already know how quickly weather and elevation changes can stack up miles and wear on fluids, tires, and brakes. While your Owner’s Manual remains the final word for your specific model year, engine, and drivetrain, the following guidelines reflect what most Sorento drivers can expect across recent generations, including gas, turbo, and electrified variants. When in doubt, choose the “severe service” interval if you frequently tow, encounter dirt roads, short-trip driving, or extreme temperatures—those conditions shorten safe service windows.
- Every 7,500 miles or 12 months: Replace engine oil and filter; rotate tires; complete multi-point inspection and fluid top-offs.
- Every 15,000 miles: Replace cabin air filter; check alignment and balance; inspect brake pads, rotors, and brake hoses.
- Every 30,000 miles: Replace engine air filter; inspect cooling system, belts, and hoses; service AWD coupling and differential fluids as applicable.
- Every 45,000 miles: Perform brake fluid service as needed; inspect spark plugs per engine type; evaluate driveline and suspension bushings.
- Every 60,000 miles: Service transmission if equipped with serviceable fluid; replace spark plugs on select engines; inspect fuel system and PCV components.
- Every 90,000 to 120,000 miles: Service coolant; inspect accessory belts and timing components per model year; evaluate wheel bearings.
- Seasonal or annually: Test battery; replace wiper blades; check A/C performance; measure tread depth and tire pressure; verify ADAS sensors and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist camera aim after glass or suspension work.
