★ Top Answer
The 2004 Kia Spectra can be equipped with either a 1.8 L or 2.0 L engine, both of which require 4.2 quarts of oil. The recommended oil type for both engines is 10W-30, which offers protection from -4 degrees Fahrenheit up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. If you live in a colder climate with temperatures below -4 degrees Fahrenheit, you may opt for 5W-20 oil for quicker engine starting in winter. Using a full synthetic oil is also a good choice regardless of your climate as it will offer advantages in all weather conditions.
