The shaded rows flag the bigger milestone visits. To keep every model comparable, this chart is built on Kia’s standard 7,500-mile grid, though the Seltos’s actual factory cadence departs from that grid here and there: the 2.0L takes oil & filter every 8,000 miles/12 months (what the grid reflects), while the 1.6L turbo is on a shorter 6,000-mile clock; the cabin filter runs on a roughly 24-month cycle (shown here near 24,000 miles, though the precise figure isn’t nailed down); the engine air filter is every 30,000 miles; brake fluid is exchanged every 48,000 miles regardless of engine (landing near the 45,000/97,500/142,500-mile rows); and spark plugs split by engine — 96,000 miles for the 2.0L (nearest the 97,500-mile row on the grid), versus 42,000 miles for the 1.6L turbo in pre-2024 cars built with the 7-speed DCT (not reflected on the grid, and not confirmed to hold for the 8-speed automatic that took over starting with the 2024 facelift). Coolant is serviced first at 120,000 miles, then every 24,000 miles for the 2.0L (nearest the 142,500-mile row) or every 30,000 miles for the 1.6L turbo. AWD trims also call for periodic differential/transfer-case fluid work, though a confirmed mileage wasn’t in our source material, so none is published here. Driving conditions matter too — hard use tightens these numbers. When in doubt, check your Owner’s Manual or ask a Dean McCrary Kia technician.

Roughly Every 8,000 Miles

  • Full synthetic oil & filter change on the 2.0L
  • The 1.6L turbo is quicker on its feet — a shorter 6,000-mile oil clock
  • Tire rotation and balance
  • Multi-point inspection
  • Battery and brake condition check

The Bigger Milestones

  • Around 24k miles — cabin air filter (time-based; the exact mileage figure isn’t pinned down)
  • 30k miles — engine air filter
  • 48k miles — brake fluid exchange, same for both engines
  • 96k miles on the 2.0L, or 42k on the pre-2024 DCT 1.6T — spark plugs
  • 120k miles — engine coolant, then every 24k (2.0L) or 30k (turbo) after

Two Engines, Two Needs

  • Both the 2.0L and 1.6L turbo run a timing chain, so there’s no belt swap to plan for
  • The 2024 facelift moved the 1.6T from a 7-speed DCT to an 8-speed automatic — ask what that changes for fluid service
  • AWD models need differential fluid work on a periodic basis — your technician can confirm the interval
  • Stick with genuine Kia parts and the fluids the factory specifies
  • Our Hattiesburg team keeping you on this chart is exactly what keeps factory warranty active

Questions About Your Seltos’s Upkeep

How Often Does a 2022 Seltos Need an Oil Change?⌄

On the 2.0L, count on full synthetic oil and a filter change every 8,000 miles or 12 months; the 1.6L turbo runs a tighter 6,000-mile clock. Frequent towing, mostly short trips, dusty roads, or lots of idling qualifies as severe use and shortens either number — many drivers in that camp land closer to 3,000 to 4,000 miles.

Is Synthetic Oil Required for the 2022 Seltos?⌄

Yes, on both the 2.0L and the 1.6L turbo. It safeguards the direct-injection system — and the turbocharger on 1.6T cars — and stands up well to a hot, humid Pine Belt summer.

When Do the Spark Plugs Need Replacing on a 2022 Seltos?⌄

It comes down to the engine: roughly 96,000 miles for the naturally aspirated 2.0L, versus 42,000 miles for the 1.6L turbo in pre-2024 DCT cars, since the turbo runs hotter and wears them faster. Starting with the 2024 facelift, the 1.6T moved to an 8-speed automatic, and that transmission doesn’t have a separately confirmed plug interval yet — have your service advisor check your particular vehicle.

Does Sticking to This Chart Keep Factory Warranty Valid?⌄

It does. factory warranty stays in force for as long as your factory-recommended maintenance is completed on schedule and logged. Get your service done with us and that record-keeping happens automatically.
