The 2008 Kia Spectra requires 5w-20 oil for optimal performance. Good quality oil is essential for keeping the engine running smoothly. Problems will likely arise if the oil is neglected, such as hearing knocking noises from the engine and potentially causing it to fail. Another sign of trouble is a strong burning odor, which should be checked promptly to prevent any dangerous situations like the car catching fire. Poor oil quality can also result in decreased gas mileage. It's important to schedule regular oil changes every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to avoid engine problems down the road. Failure to do so may lead to serious issues with the engine.
