When it comes to replacing parts in your car, it's wise to opt for genuine OEM parts. Rather than gradually turning your vehicle into Frankenstein’s monster of mismatched generic aftermarket components, OEM car parts are all identical to Kia's original manufacturing specifications. They're perfectly compatible, better quality, more durable, and designed to optimize the lifespan and performance of your car. You can ask for more guidance on OEM components at your local Kia dealership. Zero Compatibility Issues OEM components are designed by Kia with precisely the same dimensions and technical specs as the original part being replaced. This means they fit seamlessly into your vehicle and you have no need to worry about compatibility issues. Generic car parts, on the other hand, often need to be altered before installation. Even then, they can never match the vehicle as perfectly as genuine components, which tends to cause performance problems down the road. Far Superior Quality You can rarely beat the quality of an OEM car part. Kia has an excellent reputation in engineering and manufacturing. To uphold this reputation, they maintain strict standards in all components they build, including each OEM car part. As vehicle performance depends on the quality of each component, this promise of quality is worth its weight in gold. Guaranteed Reliability When you install a generic aftermarket car part, you need to cross your fingers and hope it lasts. Not so with Kia OEM car parts. Long-term performance is assured when you know that each component has been built by the original manufacturer. This reliability is also frequently guaranteed by a generous warranty. Reduced Wear and Tear When newly installed car parts don't fit optimally and are inferior in quality, as with most aftermarket car parts, they wear out faster. On top of this, they also accelerate wear and tear in connected components. This can dramatically lessen the longevity of your car while also increasing the number of faults and repairs. Enhanced Vehicle Value You may want to sell your car in the future. If so, the buyer will be happy to hear you've always used genuine OEM components. This can significantly increase the resale value of your vehicle. Learn More About OEM Parts at Your Kia Dealer We'd be delighted to explain in more detail why genuine OEM components are far better for your car than any other option. Once we diagnose what fault your car is experiencing, we can repair it in no time, replacing any worn-out parts with the genuine article. Visit Coughlin Kia of Newark in Newark, OH, to have your car promptly repaired by experienced technicians. We're an award-winning local dealership offering a broad range of excellent cars, high-quality vehicle maintenance, and top-notch customer service.

When it comes to keeping your car's engine healthy, fresh motor oil is vital. If your motor oil becomes too old, it will stop properly protecting the engine from friction, heat, debris, and corrosion. The results can be catastrophic for your car. Read on to learn the benefits of routine oil changes at your local Kia dealer and how frequently you should refresh your motor oil. Enhance Your Engine's Performance The lubrication that motor oil provides keeps the engine's many moving parts working smoothly with minimal friction. However, as motor oil ages, it gradually loses its lubricating qualities, which causes an increase in friction and drop in power and performance. Motor oil also cleans dirt, metal fragments, and other contaminants from the pistons, cylinders, valves, rods, crankshaft, camshaft, and other engine components. This debris mostly collects in the oil filter but will eventually cause the oil to thicken into an ineffectual sludge that can no longer clean, lubricate, and protect the engine. Routinely changing your oil ensures that your oil remains fresh and clean, allowing the engine to perform at its best. more Improve Your Car's Fuel Efficiency When your engine is running as smoothly and efficiently as possible, it produces as much output as possible for each gallon of fuel it burns. This means you have maximum gas mileage and more bang for your buck whenever you refill the tank. Keep Your Engine Alive for Longer When friction, contaminants, and corrosion are minimized by fresh, high-quality motor oil, your engine lasts longer. Car engines typically reach the end of the road after many years of steadily progressing wear and tear. If you can slow this wearing-down process by frequently changing your oil, your engine and car will enjoy a longer lifespan. Protect Against Overheating Even brief overheating can cause a great deal of harm to your engine. By reducing friction, motor oil helps the cooling system keep the engine's temperature under control. For this reason alone, it's unwise ever to let your oil grow old. Keep Your Vehicle Warranty Valid Any car warranty that covers the powertrain will be voided if you fail to change the motor oil. So, if you want to maintain the peace of mind that your warranty provides, refresh your oil as frequently as the warranty stipulates. How Often to Change Oil at Your Local Kia Dealer Most drivers should change their oil twice a year. However, you should always check your owner's manual to be sure of the correct oil to use and the appropriate oil servicing schedule to follow. And if you put your car through more strain than usual with severe driving conditions, you may need to refresh your oil more often than most. Change your oil today at Coughlin Kia of Newark in Newark, OH. We're a local award-winning dealership offering courteous, personalized customer service, whatever your automobile needs may be.

When it comes to getting behind the wheel of a new Kia, you have two main financial pathways to consider: leasing or financing. Each option offers unique benefits and could be the perfect fit depending on your personal circumstances and financial goals. At Coughlin Kia of Newark, we’re here to help you understand these options and guide you toward the best decision for your lifestyle. Leasing: Flexibility and Affordability Leasing a Kia offers an appealing route for many drivers, especially if you enjoy driving a new car every few years. When you lease, you're essentially renting the vehicle for a set period, typically 2-3 years. This option often comes with lower monthly payments compared to financing a purchase, as you only pay for the vehicle's depreciation during the lease term, not its full value. Benefits of leasing include: Lower monthly payments. Reduced repair costs thanks to the factory warranty. Opportunity to upgrade to a newer model sooner. Leasing might be ideal for you if you prefer lower upfront costs, drive a predictable number of miles, and like to keep your options open for the future. more Financing: Invest in Ownership Financing a Kia, on the other hand, means taking out a loan to purchase the car. This path leads to ownership, and once your loan is paid off, the vehicle is yours indefinitely. Financing is often preferred by those who drive a lot, plan to keep their cars for many years, or want to build equity in their vehicle. Advantages of financing include: No mileage restrictions. Freedom to customize your car. Potential savings over the long term as you will no longer have a car payment once your loan is paid off. If you enjoy the idea of ownership and don’t mind higher monthly payments initially, financing could be the way to go. Making the Right Choice: How Coughlin Kia of Newark Can Help Deciding whether to lease or finance can be challenging, but you don’t have to make the decision alone. Our knowledgeable Finance team at Coughlin Kia of Newark is ready to assist you. We can provide detailed comparisons based on your specific needs and help you understand the total costs involved in each option.
