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.
The 2019 Kia Sorento operates most efficiently with synthetic oil. For the SUV's 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, you should use 5W-20 oil and ensure it has 5.1 quarts. Meanwhile, the 3.3-liter V6 engine is better suited with 5W-30 oil and needs around 6.9 quarts.
