Complete Oil Specifications
Kia’s English online owner’s manual for the 2024 Sportage with the Smartstream G1.6 T-GDi engine calls for SAE 0W-20 rated API SN PLUS/SP or ILSAC GF-6, and requires API SN PLUS (or above) full synthetic oil, for markets other than the Middle East and North African countries it lists separately. Engine oil drain-and-refill volume is 4.8 L.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
- European oil change interval. The maintenance table in this edition is labelled for markets outside Europe, so it isn’t used here.
- Whether 4.8 L includes the filter. Kia labels it “drain and refill”.
- OEM oil filter part number and drain plug torque. Neither appears in the owner’s manual pages used here.
