What is the best oil for a Kia Sportage engine?

I recently purchased a Kia Sportage and I want to make sure I'm using the best oil for the engine. Can you recommend which type of oil I should use and how often I should change it?

Based on my experience as a certified mechanic, I recommend using synthetic oil for your Kia Sportage engine. It offers better protection and lasts longer than conventional oil.

I've been using conventional oil in my Kia Sportage for years and haven't had any issues. Just make sure to change it every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first.

Some Kia Sportage owners prefer using high mileage oil, especially if the car has over 75,000 miles on it. It contains additives that can help reduce wear and tear on older engines.
