Starting in 2017, Kia Forte models were outfitted with a new Atkinson-cycle 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, which became the standard engine for all trim levels with no upgrade option. It requires 4.2 US quarts of synthetic motor oil available in either 5W-20 or 5W-30 weights. The oil drain plug, with a 16mm head size, should be removed with a torque wrench set at 24 ft/lbs.
The 2017 Kia Forte requires either full synthetic oil with a viscosity of SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30. Make sure to consult your owner's manual to determine if a specific viscosity is recommended based on the engine code. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine in this vehicle can hold up to 4.2 quarts of oil.
