Kia Sorento Oil Type

To keep your Kia vehicle running for years on Jackson roads, a service schedule with consistent Kia Sorento oil changes is strongly recommended. Oil changes keep your car at peak performance and efficiency while keeping your engine clean and cool when commuting around Flowood. 

What oil type does your Kia Sorento need? If you’re curious about the Kia Sorento oil type for your car, the experts at Wilson KIA have all the answers to your questions with this guide. 

So, what’s the best oil type for the Kia Sorento? The experts in Brandon recommend an oil type with a 5W-20 grade. 5W-20 provides the proper density to keep your motor running. This option should keep the parts of your engine from overheating and prevent excess friction when driving. 

Kia Sorento Oil Change: Synthetic or Conventional?

The Kia Sorento oil type of 5W-20 comes in synthetic or conventional options. Which one is better for Ridgeland driving? We recommend synthetic over conventional. While synthetic is more expensive than conventional options, there are ultimately more advantages to choosing synthetic. These advantages include:

• Synthetic oil offers improved protection against engine wear and tear.
• Synthetic circulates better in your engine at lower and higher temperatures over regular oil. 
• Expect longer interval times between your next Kia Sorento oil change (anywhere from 7,500 miles to 10,000 miles)!
