The 2013 Kia Rio runs on a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and requires 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil. When refilling the Rio, you'll need about 3.5 quarts including the filter, and the drain plug should be torqued to 25-33 ft/lbs. Using the right oil is crucial for keeping the engine clean and parts well-lubricated to reduce friction. You can expect to pay between $5 to $10 per quart, totaling around $17 to $35 for a full 3.5-quart fill-up. Remember, oil needs regular changing as it degrades over time, with service costs ranging from $40 to $50 for labor alone.
