A technician shared a shocking experience on TikTok: a car owner brought in their brand-new 2025 Kia for an oil change, admitting they were already about 8,000 miles overdue. The dashboard indicated the vehicle was due for an oil change 8,785 miles ago—far exceeding the manufacturer's recommended interval of 5,000 to 7,500 miles (or up to 10,000 miles for some synthetic oils). The technician exclaimed, "How new can this car really stay?" Delaying oil changes causes oil to degrade and form sludge, accelerating engine wear and potentially leading to serious mechanical issues. Online commenters reacted with frustration: "Buying a new car is basically preparing to buy another one," while others questioned, "Didn’t they take advantage of the dealership’s free first service?" The video has already garnered over 900 views, serving as a stark reminder to owners not to neglect basic maintenance.
