Owning a Kia Telluride means driving a stylish, capable SUV that’s built for the long haul—but only if you keep up with its maintenance. Whether your Telluride is brand new or nearing 100,000 miles, staying on-schedule with maintenance and services is key to long-term performance and your peace of mind.
1. Vital Fluids and Filters - Your Telluride’s V6 engine needs clean, synthetic oil every 5000 miles. But don’t stop there—your transmission, differential, and AWD systems also rely on fluid changes around the 50,000 mile mark – check your owner’s manual or call our shop – we will be happy to look up Kia recommended number for your model year. Regular cabin air filter and engine air filter replacements are important as well.
2. Brake System – Have brakes checked once a year, and brake pads replaced as needed. Every two years or 20,000 miles your Kia should also undergo brake fluid replacement.
3. Tires and Wheel Alignment
Potholes and rough roads all around the Bay Area can wreak havoc on your alignment and tires. We recommend tire rotation every time you get an oil change, and get a full alignment check yearly—or sooner if the steering feels off.
