The 2012 Kia Sportage has an engine oil capacity of 4.9 US quarts, which is equivalent to 4.6 liters. Kia recommends using A5W-20 fully synthetic motor oil for this engine, and You will be better served doing so. This is because Your engine oil gives You better performance and a longer lifespan, when the right oil is used. An oil change will typically run between $100 and $145, depending on where it is done. It takes only about an hour or less, so it is worth making time for. Schedule a change at least once every 4,000 to 5,000 miles. If You do feel the need to do the change Yourself, You can simply go to Your local Autozone or Walmart to buy the oil.
