2021 Kia Sorento
30,000 mile service checklist

Here's exactly what your factory maintenance schedule calls for at this mileage — and what each item typically costs.

30,000 mile service

  • Engine oil and filter change — 0W-20 full synthetic
  • Tire rotation
  • Replace cabin air filter
  • Replace engine air filter
  • Inspect spark plugs — iridium; factory replacement interval is approximately 90,000 mi, no action needed at 30k under normal use
  • Inspect 8-speed automatic transmission fluid (non-turbo models) — long-life fill, inspect condition
  • Inspect 8-speed wet DCT fluid (2.5T models) — Kia recommends more frequent inspection/change on the DCT than the conventional automatic; check under severe-duty schedule
  • Inspect drive belt and engine mounts
  • Inspect suspension bushings and steering linkage
