★ Top Answer
The 2010 Kia Rio requires either synthetic SAE motor oil 5W-20 or 5W-30, both are suitable options. If you reside in a place with temperatures that do not fall below zero, you may also consider using 10W-30. Opting for a higher viscosity oil can enhance your engine's performance. The Rio has an oil capacity of 3.5 quarts, including the filter, which can be a standard off-the-shelf option like the WIX51334. Synthetic oil can last around 10,000 miles, while conventional oil may need to be changed every 5,000 miles. When conducting the oil change yourself, be cautious not to over-tighten the oil drain plug; aim for a torque between 29 and 33 pound-feet to avoid damaging the nut.
