In the 2018 Kia Sportage, it is recommended to use either 5w-30 or 5w-40 oil with a capacity of 5.1 quarts. The quality of the oil is crucial for the engine's proper functioning. Issues with the oil may arise eventually, and a common problem is a strong burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential hazards like engine explosions. Old or low-quality oil can lead to engine failure, indicated by knocking noises and decreased gas mileage. It's important to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to avoid engine problems down the line.

The 2018 Kia Sportage requires synthetic oil, which can be either full synthetic or a blend. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine accommodates SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40, while the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine is best with SAE 5W-20. Each engine has a 5.1-quart oil capacity.
