2025 Kia Sportage Complete Maintenance Schedule
7,500 miles is the Sportage’s first service stop: the debut oil & filter change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection all happen here.
By 15,000 miles, the oil & filter change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection are back on the calendar, and the cabin air filter gets replaced for the first time.
At the 22,500-mile mark: another oil & filter change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection, plus the first engine air filter swap.
The 30,000-mile visit repeats the oil & filter change, tire rotation, multi-point inspection, and cabin air filter service.
37,500 miles calls for the standard trio: oil & filter change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection.
The 45,000-mile milestone brings the oil & filter change, tire rotation, multi-point inspection, cabin air filter, and engine air filter, along with the first brake fluid exchange.
52,500 miles: the routine oil & filter change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection.
60,000 miles keeps to the basics — oil & filter change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection.
At 67,500 miles, expect the oil & filter change, tire rotation, multi-point inspection, and cabin air filter.

90,000 miles: oil & filter change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection.

150,000 miles closes out the schedule with the oil & filter change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection.
Rows shaded darker mark the big-ticket service milestones. To keep comparisons consistent across Kia models, this chart lays milestones on the brand’s standard 7,500-mile framework, though the Sportage’s actual cadence runs a bit differently in places: oil & filter service really falls every 8,000 miles or 12 months rather than 7,500; the cabin air filter is due every 16,000 miles (mapped to the nearest 15,000/30,000/45,000/67,500/etc. rows); the engine air filter is due every 24,000 miles (mapped near the 22,500/45,000/75,000 rows); brake fluid gets exchanged every 48,000 miles (mapped near the 45,000/97,500/142,500 rows); spark plugs follow one single 96,000-mile interval since the 2.5L engine is naturally aspirated with no turbo option on the gas Sportage — so there’s no second interval to juggle like on some other Kia models — and engine coolant is due first at 120,000 miles, then every 24,000 miles afterward. If your Sportage has AWD, periodic AWD & differential fluid service applies too — our source material didn’t clearly show the exact mileage for that item, so no figure is listed here; your service advisor or Owner’s Manual can confirm it. Towing and tougher driving conditions can shorten any of these intervals. Always double-check against your Owner’s Manual or with a Dean McCrary Kia Hattiesburg technician.
Every 8,000 Miles
- Full-synthetic engine oil & filter change
- Tire rotation and balance
- Multi-point vehicle inspection
- Top off fluids and inspect for leaks

Major Milestones

2025 Sportage Maintenance FAQs
How Often Should I Change the Oil on a 2025 Kia Sportage?⌄
Under normal driving, Kia calls for a full-synthetic oil and filter change on the 2025 Sportage every 8,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Conditions like frequent towing, short trips, dusty roads, or a lot of idling count as severe use and shorten that window — many drivers in that category are better off switching closer to every 4,000–5,000 miles.
Does the 2025 Kia Sportage Require Synthetic Oil?⌄
Yes — Kia specifies full synthetic oil for the Sportage’s 2.5L GDI engine. It safeguards the direct-injection system and stands up better to Pine Belt heat and humidity as well as stop-and-go traffic.
When Should I Replace the Spark Plugs on a 2025 Sportage?⌄
Roughly every 96,000 miles under normal use. Because the gas-powered Sportage runs a naturally aspirated 2.5L engine with no turbo option, there’s only one spark-plug interval to keep track of — unlike certain other Kia models that use separate intervals depending on engine.
Does Following This Schedule Protect My Factory Warranty Coverage?⌄
It does. As long as the factory-recommended maintenance is done on schedule and documented, factory warranty remains in effect. Every visit you make with us is logged automatically.
