The highlighted rows flag the major service milestones. We’ve mapped everything onto Kia’s standard 7,500-mile grid for easy comparison across models, though the Seltos’s real-world cadence runs a bit differently in a few spots — oil and filter lands every 8,000 miles/12 months on the 2.0L (the figure shown on the grid), while the 1.6L turbo is on a shorter 6,000-mile cycle; cabin air filter is time-based at roughly every 24 months (shown here as ~24,000 miles, exact digit unconfirmed); engine air filter runs every 30,000 miles; brake fluid is every 48,000 miles on both engines (shown nearest the 45,000/97,500/142,500-mile rows); and spark plugs split by engine — 96,000 miles on the 2.0L (nearest the 97,500-mile row on the grid), 42,000 miles on the 1.6L turbo (pre-2024 DCT cars only — not on the grid, and not confirmed to carry over to the 8-speed automatic that replaced the DCT with the 2024 facelift). Engine coolant is first serviced at 120,000 miles, then every 24,000 miles on the 2.0L (nearest the 142,500-mile row) or every 30,000 miles on the 1.6L turbo. AWD-equipped models also need periodic differential/transfer-case fluid service, though we don’t have a confirmed mileage from our source material to publish here. Driving conditions matter, too — severe use shortens every interval. Always confirm against your Owner’s Manual or with a Dean McCrary Kia Hattiesburg technician.

Every 8,000 Miles

  • Full-synthetic oil and filter change on the 2.0L
  • The 1.6L turbo runs a shorter 6,000-mile oil cycle instead
  • Tire rotation and balance
  • Multi-point inspection
  • Battery and brake condition checked

Major Milestones

  • ~24k — cabin air filter (time-based; exact mileage unconfirmed)
  • 30k — engine air filter swap
  • 48k — brake fluid exchanged (both engines)
  • 96k on the 2.0L / 42k on the pre-2024 1.6T DCT — spark plugs
  • 120k — engine coolant begins (then 24k on the NA, 30k on the turbo)

Two Engines, Different Needs

  • Both the 2.0L and the 1.6L turbo run a timing chain, so there’s no belt to replace
  • The 2024 facelift swapped the 1.6T’s 7-speed DCT for an 8-speed automatic — ask about any fluid-service changes
  • AWD models call for periodic differential fluid service — your technician can confirm the interval
  • Genuine Kia parts and factory-approved fluids only
  • Staying on schedule with our Hattiesburg team is what keeps factory warranty active

Seltos Maintenance Questions, Answered

How Often Does the Oil Need Changing on a 2024 Kia Seltos?⌄

Every 8,000 miles or 12 months on the 2.0L, running full synthetic oil; the 1.6L turbo is on a shorter 6,000-mile cycle. Frequent towing, short trips, dusty roads, or extended idling count as severe use and shorten either interval — some severe-duty drivers land closer to every 3,000–4,000 miles.

Does the 2024 Kia Seltos Need Synthetic Oil?⌄

Full synthetic is the call for both the 2.0L and the 1.6L turbo. It protects the direct-injection system — and the turbocharger on 1.6T models — and holds up through hot, humid Pine Belt summers better than conventional oil would.

When Do the Spark Plugs Need Replacing on a 2024 Seltos?⌄

Depends which engine you've got: roughly 96,000 miles for the naturally aspirated 2.0L, or 42,000 miles for the 1.6L turbo in pre-2024 DCT cars, since the turbo runs hotter and wears plugs sooner. The 2024 facelift moved the 1.6T to an 8-speed automatic, and that transmission's exact plug interval hasn't been separately confirmed — have your service advisor check your specific vehicle.

Does Sticking to This Schedule Keep My Factory Warranty Coverage Active?⌄

It does. Complete factory-recommended maintenance on schedule and keep the records, and factory warranty stays active. Have us handle the work and every visit gets logged automatically.
