In 2008, the Kia Sorento came with a 3.3L V6 engine as standard, with an option to upgrade to a more powerful 3.8L V6 engine. The standard model has a 5.5 US quart capacity, while the upgraded engine has a larger capacity of 6 US quarts, including the filter. Both models require either synthetic 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil, but 5W-20 is recommended. To remove the oil drain plug, use a 17mm socket and apply 25 ft-lbs of torque.
