Full synthetic oil offers the highest resistance to heat and oxidation, synthetic blends are mid‑range, and conventional provides the shortest protection window.

Full synthetic typically performs better during cold starts and extended highway runs common around Massachusetts, while blends balance cost and performance. Conventional oil is acceptable only if it meets Kia’s spec, but it may need more frequent changes under severe driving. We’ll confirm what your owner’s manual allows and document the oil used on your invoice.

• Full synthetic = strongest overall protection
• Blend = value and improved stability over conventional
• Conventional = only if it meets Kia’s specification
