For the 2005 Kia Sportage, it is recommended to use Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil. To maximize fuel efficiency, opt for an engine oil with a viscosity grade of SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30. You can also use an alternative oil as long as it matches the viscosity and carries an API Service SJ, SL, or ILSAC GF-3 classification or higher. The 2.0L engine requires 4.2 quarts of oil, while the 2.7L engine needs 4.8 quarts. To ensure the longevity of your vehicle, check the oil level weekly or every time you refuel, and change the oil every 5,000 miles or every 4 months, whichever comes first.
