The 2016 Kia Forte uses sae 5w-20 and sae 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil for its engine. There are two levels of oil capacity for this car. The 1.8 liter engine can take up to 4.8 quarts of oil. The 2.0 liter engine can handle up to 4.1 quarts, a bit less. You can purchase these fluids at most automotive retail locations, some big name retailers, and several trusted online websites. You can expect to pay between $3 and $13 per one-quart bottle, and You will need about 4 bottles total to complete an oil replacement in Your vehicle. You may also want to purchase a cheap .99 to $4 plastic or metal funnel to help pour the fluid into the reservoir.
