The 2018 Kia Sorento has specific oil requirements based on its engine size. The 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine uses SAE 5w-20 fully synthetic oil, while the 3.3 liter V6 engine uses SAE 5w-30 synthetic oil. You can easily purchase these oils at major retail stores, automotive parts shops, or online from various websites. Prices for a one-quart bottle range from about $3.10 to $11.98. The 2.4 liter engine can hold up to 5.1 quarts of oil, while the 3.3 liter engine can hold up to 6.9 quarts. If you prefer a professional mechanic to handle the oil change, expect to pay an extra $40 to $130 for labor.
