I can help you figure out what kind of oil your 2002 Kia Sportage 2.0L needs. If you live in a place where it's above -4F, it's best to use 5W-20 oil. For areas below 32F, it's recommended to go with 5W-30. When the temperature ranges from -25 to 29F, you should use 10W-30. If it's above -13F, it's advised to use either 10W-40 or 10W-50. For temperatures between -9 to 20, the ideal oil would be 20W-20. As for the oil capacity of the Sportage for this year, it requires 4.4 US quarts with a filter. Remember to follow the oil and filter change schedule outlined in your owner's manual or by consulting with your dealership.

It is important to select the appropriate oil based on the local weather conditions.
