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.
The 2.0L inline-4 engine in the 2002 Kia Sportage comes with a single option. It is recommended to use 4.4 quarts of 5W20 oil if the temperature is below -4 degrees Fahrenheit, 5W30 if it is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 10W30 if the temperature ranges between -25 and 29 degrees Fahrenheit, and 10W40/10W50 if it is above -13 degrees Fahrenheit. For temperatures between -9 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit, 20W20 is suitable, while 20W40/20W50 is recommended for temperatures above 16 degrees Fahrenheit. In colder weather between 0 and 39 degrees Fahrenheit, a 30 weight oil is advised, and for hotter temperatures above 84 degrees Fahrenheit, a 40 weight oil is recommended. It is important to select the appropriate oil based on the local weather conditions.
