What Oil Does a 2025 Kia TELLURIDE Take?

The 2025 Kia TELLURIDE’s 3.8L V6 engine is engineered for longevity and efficiency, as long as the correct engine oil is used. Using the proper viscosity not only ensures protection but also optimizes fuel economy and cold starts. For this model year, Kia recommends:

• 5W-30 (Recommended for all temperature ranges; superior flow in cold starts and stable protection when hot)

Using 5W-30 full synthetic oil meets manufacturer specifications for performance and warranty. Thicker or thinner grades may affect wear protection and fuel efficiency, especially in extreme weather. Always follow recommended viscosity for the broadest temperature protection in your region.

2025 Kia TELLURIDE Oil Capacity

The 3.8L V6 engine in your 2025 TELLURIDE holds 6.9 quarts of oil (with filter). After refilling, always check your dipstick to confirm it’s at the proper level. Overfilling can cause frothing, excess crankcase pressure, seal leaks, and even engine damage. Stay precise—our Costa Oil technicians are trained to fill to exact factory specifications every time.

How Often Should You Change the Oil on a 2025 Kia TELLURIDE?

Maintaining the correct oil change interval is essential for engine health. For most 2025 Kia TELLURIDE drivers, the general recommendation is:

• Every 7,500 – 10,000 miles or 12 months with full synthetic oil
• Every 3,000 – 5,000 miles if using conventional oil (not recommended for modern engines)

Driving in severe conditions like stop-and-go traffic, short trips, towing, or extreme temperatures? You may want to change your oil sooner. Pay attention to signs of used oil, including changes in oil color and increased engine noise, for early service needs.

Oil Filter for the 2025 Kia TELLURIDE

The oil filter is your engine’s first line of defense against wear-causing contaminants. The 2025 Kia TELLURIDE uses the Costa CCF8179 oil filter, expertly matched to meet or exceed OEM specifications for filtration and flow. While generic filters sometimes save pennies, OEM-quality options—like Costa’s—guard engine longevity and warranty coverage by trapping harmful particles without restricting oil flow. Don’t risk engine life with lesser filters.
