The 2010 Kia Forte had SRX different configurations, each offering a choice between two engine options. The smaller 2.0L 4-Cylinder engine requires 4.1 quarts of either SAE 5W-20 or SAE 5W-30 synthetic motor oil, while the larger 2.4L 4-Cylinder engine needs 4.5 quarts of the same. It's recommended to use 5W-20 oil for better viscosity, although 5W-30 can be used temporarily without major issues. However, using thicker oil in the long run might cause your engine to age prematurely due to inefficiency. Spending a bit more on SAE 5W-20 oil during oil changes could save you trouble down the road.
