The 2004 Kia Spectra can either come with a 1.8 L or 2.0 L engine but both of them take 4.2 quarts of oil and the recommended F-TYPEor both of them iS-10W-30. ThiS-TYPE of oil provides good protection from about -4 degrees Fahrenheit up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. If You're in a colder climate that sees temperatures a bit below that You can go with A5W-20 so You can get quicker engine starting times during those winter months. Going with a full synthetic variety of oil is also a good option no matter what type of climate You live in. It will provide benefits in all weather conditions. -
Owner’s manual has from 5w-30 up to 10w-40, in Fahrenheit, depending on your climate: -10 deg to 120, Use 10W-30 or 10W-40 -20 deg to 100, Use 5W-30 or 5W-40
