A Comprehensive Guide to Kia Genuine Parts

Before you visit our Kia parts and service centres, we at Cardinal Kia thought it best to give our old and new customers a comprehensive rundown on all things Kia Genuine Parts, from their design to how they function throughout our new inventory.

Air Filter:

Simply put, your engine needs both fuel and air to operate at peak efficiency, but dust and foreign matter have a way of making their way under the hood, which is where your air filter comes in. As air enters your engine's intake system, the filter keeps any unwelcome visitors from making their way into the motor and potentially damaging it. Given its crucial function, we recommend maintaining or replacing your air filter as per your owner manual's suggestions. Our Cardinal Kia service team will be happy to help.

Brake Pads:

Kia Genuine brake pads are made from steel backing plates and friction materials facing the disc brake rotor. Every time you hit the brake pedal, hydraulic force is applied to the brake pads to create friction on the brake disc until you've either reached a full stop or released the pedal. This dynamic between disc and pad chips away at the friction material over an interval depending on your driving habits, environment, and mileage. Consult your owner's manual or our dealership for an idea of when to get your brake pads replaced.

Cabin Air Filter:

This filter keeps dust and other particles from making their way into your cabin through the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. As with its engine-based counterpart, the cabin air filter's function and workrate mean regular maintenance and occasional replacement. Both our dealership and your owner's manual can shed some light on how often you should tend to this valuable component.

Fuel Filter:

This part works in tandem with the engine air filter in a way, keeping contaminants from invading the engine and damaging the upper sections of its cylinders. We strongly suggest you get your fuel filter inspected with regularity, as a clogged engine will impede both its performance and fuel efficiency.

Oil Filter:

As the lifeblood of your engine, motor oil is paramount to keeping your Kia operational. An oil filter keeps pesky impurities from meddling in the engine's business and should be replaced periodically at intervals recommended by either our service staff or your owner's manual.

Timing Belt:

It may not look like much, but a timing belt is crucial to smooth engine operation, as it regulates the opening and closing of its valves. If the timing belt isn't calibrated properly, the motion of your engine's camshafts will be disrupted, causing the motor to stop abruptly.
