★ Top Answer
The 2015 Kia Sportage is equipped with a timing chain, which can pose various engine-related issues. Specifically, problems may arise such as a spark plug dislodging and causing engine malfunction, as well as the possibility of a loose gasket needing to be resecured. One critical issue to watch out for is engine overheating, which could potentially result in car fires and even an explosion. Additionally, be mindful of excessive oil consumption, requiring prompt oil changes. It is recommended to replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, the coolant every 60,000 miles, and change the spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless you have copper spark plugs, in which case they should be replaced every 30,000 miles.
