The 2016 Kia Rio LX comes with SAE 5W-20 as the recommended factory oil, usually a synthetic blend. While you have the option to use a conventional oil, there's really no need to, even if you're watching your budget. To potentially improve fuel efficiency, you might want to switch to 5W-30, or even 10W-30 if you live in an area where temperatures rarely dip below zero. When doing a complete oil change, you'll need about 3.8 quarts, accounting for what's held in the filter. Your car is compatible with the WIX51334-EA oil filter, typically priced at $10. Opting for a jug of full synthetic oil will cost you around $30 for your Rio.
