In 2010, the Kia Sportage was originally equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine in the base models. You had the choice to upgrade the engine or it would come standard with the more powerful 2.7L V6 engine in the top-tier trim level. If you have the base engine in your vehicle, you should use either 5W-20 or 5W-30 synthetic motor oil, with 5W-20 being the preferred type. The oil capacity will be 3.8 US quarts including the filter. For the upgraded V6 engine, only 5W-20 synthetic oil should be used, with a capacity of 4.8 US quarts when including the filter.
