Close Oil Change Service in Dayton, OH
Getting an oil change is quick and easy when you come to Matt Castrucci Kia! We have convenient open hours at our Service Department, so visit us as soon as you can.
Purpose
Oil plays an incredibly important role within the engine of your Kia K5, Sportage, or Sorento. Its main function is to lubricate the inner workings of the motor, reducing the friction that is created between the moving components. This process would normally create an excessive amount of heat, but with a batch of quality oil in the engine, your car is able to adequately regulate its temperature. Additionally, as it cycles throughout the system, it collects dust and debris that would otherwise accumulate in the powertrain. Because the oil is gradually used up and becomes dirtier over time, it will need to be swapped out. Old oil can damage an engine irreparably, so don’t wait to complete this form of maintenance.
Warning Signs
Are you wondering if the time has come for you to get an oil change? Looking for a check engine light on your dashboard is a good start, but there are other warning signs that can present themselves if your car’s oil is waning in quality. Smoke should never rise from under the hood or from the tailpipe, so contact us if it does so. A sudden drop in performance or fuel efficiency on I-75 can also be a sign of poor oil quality, since the motor will need to work harder to achieve the same results. If you want to check the oil yourself, look for the dipstick under the hood. After pulling it out and wiping it off, reinsert it and remove it to see where the oil level is in relation to the recommended fill line.
Timeline
Oil should usually be replaced every year, since its quality will drop if it is exposed to varying temperatures and the oxygen in the air. However, you should always check your car’s Owner’s Manual for more specific estimates. If you drive around Dayton daily, then you should go by the odometer mileage. Conventional oil tends to last 5,000 to 7,500 miles, while synthetic varieties last up to 10,000 miles. We can’t forget to recommend that you check your vehicle’s warranty information. It may require you to get an oil change at certain intervals to remain valid. If you need to set up an appointment before your next trip to Eastwood MetroPark, you can do so online or by contacting us.

Had an amazing experience purchasing a Kia Carnival from start to finish.

Ahmad, Bret and Joe was amazing as well with the finance part working with us for the best price possible! Appreciate their time and business ! ”
I go out of my way to purchase with Matt Castrucci dealers.
“ I go out of my way to purchase with Matt Castrucci dealers. To date I have traded in 2 and purchased 2 vehicles with them and both times left very pleased with my experience. I hate car shopping - cut to the chase, get to the bottom line and wrap this up. Time is not a luxury I have. They were excellent with my limited schedule even when they were super busy. Wrapping up multiple deals at the same time. I highly suggest my salesman Josh - very knowledgeable and accommodating. Rudy the sales manager was swift and fair. Joe was very friendly too! Highly suggest! P.S. I told Josh I wanted to look at the Seltos and Sorento. He said - “You sound like you’d love the sportage. I’ll pull that too.” Totally right! He knows his stuff. ”
We will definitely shop again from Matt Castrucci in the future.
“ Excellent customer service is an understatement. We were out shopping for a new vehicle and did not feel pressured to buy. Travis D. Was willing to talk over features and allow us the time we needed to shop. He was a breath of fresh air from the normal high pressure salesmen at other dealerships. Top that off with Patrick, Joe, and Isiah and you will find a team who will exceed your car buying expectations! We will definitely shop again from Matt Castrucci in the future. ”
Special well done to Phil Bailey.
“ The team at Matt Castrucci Kia, Phil, Rudy, and Joe went above and beyond for us. Competitively priced, still included the military discount and had to search out of state to get the vehicle we wanted. They made this happen in less than a week and we are very pleased with our purchase. I feel confident their service department will be just as professional as their sales staff. Special well done to Phil Bailey. ”
