In 2019, the Kia Sorento requires 5.1 quarts of oil for its 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, and 6.9 quarts for the 3.3L V6 engine. Kia specifies using SAE 5W-20 oil, recommending synthetic oil for changes. Nowadays, there are two types of oil available: synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil provides improved wear protection and longer lifespan compared to conventional petroleum-based oils. With synthetic oil, oil changes are only necessary every 7,500 miles, saving time compared to the 3,500 to 5,000-mile intervals with conventional oil. Regularly check the oil level and cleanliness at least monthly to ensure it's topped up and free of debris.
