Kia Sorento Oil Type
As you explore our island from one side to the other in your Kia Sorento, you’ll need to be mindful of regular service intervals every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. At these intervals, your Kia vehicle will need a tire rotation and an oil change to keep it in top shape for Guam drives.
If you love DIY oil changes or want to know more details about the oil your vehicle needs, read our guide to the Kia Sorento oil type. We’ll discuss everything you need to know about a Kia Sorento oil change, the Kia Sorento oil filter, and more!
What Is the Correct Kia Sorento Oil Type?
We highly recommend full synthetic motor oil for your Kia Sorento oil type. Full synthetic oil ensures your engine will last longer and stay cleaner. You’ll also need fewer Kia Sorento oil changes versus conventional oil. So, definitely get a full synthetic oil change.
For the grade of oil, most Kia Sorento oil changes work with 5W-30 or 5W-30 full synthetic. Our service center near Palau can help you with the oil you need and we can perform a Kia Sorento oil change if you don’t have time to take care of it yourself.
What Is the Kia Sorento Oil Capacity?
The Kia Sorento oil capacity changes based on the size of the engine. The smaller engine won’t need as much oil as the larger one.
- Kia Sorento oil capacity for the 1.6L engine: 4.6 quarts
- Kia Sorento oil capacity for the 2.5L engine: 5.9 quarts
- Kia Sorento oil capacity for the 3.5L engine: 6.3 quarts
Kia Sorento Oil Filter
For the recommended Kia Sorento oil filter, we strongly recommend OEM parts that fit your specific vehicle versus aftermarket parts that may not. OEM parts could also keep your Kia under warranty, so it’s important to weigh the extra upfront costs versus long-term benefits of OEM parts versus an aftermarket (and more cheaply made) Kia Sorento oil filter.
