For your 2017 Kia Sorento, the type and amount of oil you need depend on the engine model you have. The 2.0L 4Cylinder requires a 5W-30 synthetic blend with a capacity of 5.1 US quarts. The 2.4L 4Cylinder also uses the same oil and has the same capacity. However, the 3.3L V6 models give you the choice of either 5W-20 or 5W-30 synthetic oil with a capacity of 6 US quarts when including the filter. If you plan to change the oil yourself, you can expect to spend around $20 to $40 on oil, depending on where you purchase it and the brand you choose.
The 2017 Kia Sorento requires different types of full synthetic oil depending on the engine size. The 2.0 4 cylinder engine should use SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40, the 2.4 4 cylinder engine should use SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30, and the 3.3L V6 engine should use SAE 5W-30. The oil capacities are 5.1 quarts for the 4-cylinder engines and 6 quarts for the V6 engine, including the filter.
this could be paraphrased as "Oil figures for the year 2011".
Here is a paraphrased and simplified version of the text you provided:
"For a 2.0 engine, you can use either 5w-30 or 5w-40 oil. For a 2.4 engine, it is recommended to use 5w-20 or 5w-30 oil. And for a 3.3 engine, use 5w-30 oil.
I'm not sure where you're finding the numbers 30 or 40. I own a 2017 Sorento with a 4-cylinder engine, and the oil cap indicates it requires 5W-20.
