What type of oil to use on a 2007 kia?

Answer 1

The recommended oil will be in the manual but if you dont have it look on the oil cap if its not on the cap then choosing a oil is your choice DO NOT WORRY choosing an oil is really based on your preference of the veicle. for instance a new car would take a 5w-20 or a 5w-30 the reason is the engine is new and the oil is thin best for newer motors, this is also good if your in a state that is cold alot this helps for cold start ups, and good compression, however if your a "tuner person" switching to a 10w-30 would be better for you as the oil is a little bit thicker and the compression is increased very little creating more power this also keeps the valves and pistons lubricated longer or if the engine is a little older around 50,000 miles. A synthetic oil will last a lot longer and is very clean, a regular oil change is every 3000 miles or 3 months, a synthetic oil change is every 5000 miles. The best oil I like to use is Ams oil 10w-30 (very expencive but is excellent) if this is too much for you try Mobil synthetic (less expensive but very good) and my third choice would be Valvoline
