The 2015 Kia Sportage requires 5.1 quarts of SAE 5W-20 motor oil for an oil change, and Kia recommends using full synthetic oil. There are two main types of oil - conventional, which is petroleum-based, and synthetic, which is lab-engineered to provide better engine wear protection. Synthetic oil lasts longer than conventional, with oil changes needed every 7,500 miles instead of every 3,500 to 5,000. It is important to regularly check your oil level and condition to prevent potential permanent engine damage from low levels or debris.
