In order to keep the 2003 Kia Sorento engine running smoothly, it is recommended to use SAE 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil. The vehicle's 3.5 liter V6 engine requires 4.6 quarts of oil. You can easily find one-quart bottles of oil at retail stores, automotive shops, and online stores at prices ranging from $3 to $15 per container. To perform an oil change, start by draining the old oil from the nozzle valve at the bottom of the reservoir. Next, remove the top cap and carefully pour in four quarts of fresh oil using a funnel. Finally, secure the cap in place and close the hood.
