The 2019 Kia Rio runs best with synthetic 5W-20 oil, which comes in a 3.6-liter or 3.8-US quart capacity. The numbers in 5W-20 signify the oil's viscosity – 5 means its thickness in cold weather, while 20 is its thickness under regular driving speeds. Oil doesn't last forever, so it should be changed regularly. For the Rio, it's recommended to change both the oil and filter every 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever occurs first. Getting this done at a shop can cost between $40 and $50 in labor, but you can do it yourself in just 5 to 20 minutes and save some money.
In the 2019 Kia Rio, the recommended oil is synthetic with a viscosity rating of 5W-20.
