How to reset the oil change reminder on the 2023–2025 Kia Sportage
See also: Oil life reset by brand.
Kia handles the oil reminder through the Service Interval item in the instrument cluster’s User Settings. There you can turn the reminder on or off and set the interval in miles and months; newer manuals also add a Reset option. Use it after each oil change so the next reminder counts from the right point.
Oil change tips
- Buy a 5-quart jug plus two quarts.
- Kia lists a “drain and refill” volume. After refilling, run the engine briefly, turn it off, wait a few minutes and check that the level is between the F and L marks on the dipstick before adding more.
