How Often Should I Get My Kia Telluride Serviced at Berwyn Kia for Optimal Performance?


The Kia Telluride has quickly become one of the most popular midsize SUVs on the market, praised for its spacious interior, advanced technology, and dependable performance. To keep your Kia Telluride running at its best, following a regular maintenance schedule is essential. At Berwyn Kia, we help drivers from Chicago, Elmhurst, and Evergreen Park stay on top of routine service so their Telluride delivers reliable performance year after year.

Why Regular Service Matters

Every vehicle needs routine care, but the Kia Telluride’s advanced engine, transmission, and safety systems make professional maintenance especially important. Skipping recommended services can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, safety issues, and costly repairs down the line. By visiting Berwyn Kia at the right intervals, you’ll protect your investment and ensure your SUV is ready for Chicago’s city streets, suburban roads in Elmhurst, and longer drives through Evergreen Park.

Recommended Kia Telluride Service Intervals

Every 7,500 miles or 6 months

  • Oil and filter change
  • Tire rotation
  • Brake inspection
  • Fluid level check

This first interval is critical for maintaining engine health and safety. Since Chicago winters and city driving can be hard on your vehicle, timely oil changes are essential.

Every 15,000 miles or 12 months

  • Cabin air filter replacement
  • Comprehensive brake system inspection
  • Steering and suspension check

Drivers from Elmhurst and Evergreen Park often encounter stop-and-go traffic, making brake and suspension inspections especially important at this stage.

Every 30,000 miles

  • Engine air filter replacement
  • Cooling system inspection
  • Transmission fluid check

At this milestone, your Kia Telluride may begin to show signs of wear. Having the cooling and transmission systems checked at Berwyn Kia ensures smoother long-term performance.

Every 60,000 miles

  • Spark plug replacement
  • Drive belt inspection
  • Battery and charging system check

These services keep your SUV’s engine efficient and responsive, which is important if you often drive longer routes in and out of Chicago.

Every 100,000 miles

  • Timing belt inspection/replacement (if applicable)
  • Full fluid replacement
  • Major system inspection

For high-mileage Kia Telluride models, this major service helps extend the life of your SUV and prevents costly breakdowns.
