How do I know which engine oil to use in my Kia Stonic?

I am wondering what type of engine oil is recommended for my Kia Stonic. I don't want to use the wrong oil and end up causing damage to my car. Can you give me some advice on how to choose the right engine oil for my car?

Hi Mark, choosing the right engine oil for your Kia Stonic is important to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your vehicle. The recommended type of oil can be found in your car's manual or by contacting a Kia dealership. Another option is to check the specifications of your car's engine and use that to find the appropriate oil viscosity and type. It's always best to stick with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Hey Mark, when choosing your Kia Stonic's engine oil, make sure to consider the climate and driving conditions in your area. For colder climates, a lower viscosity oil is recommended to aid in cold weather starting. If you live in a hot and humid climate, a higher viscosity oil may be more suitable to prevent engine wear. Keep in mind that using the wrong oil can void your warranty, so it's best to stick with what the manufacturer recommends.

Hi Mark, my personal advice would be to go for a synthetic oil for your Kia Stonic. They offer better protection and performance compared to conventional oils, although they may be a bit more expensive. It's also important to regularly check your oil level and change it according to the recommended schedule for your specific car model. This will help keep your engine running smoothly and prevent potential issues in the long run.
