You are meaning 104 degrees F correct? >> My daughter just got an 02 Kia SPortage. I need to change oil. What is >> recommended for this vehicle in temperatures up to 104 degrees?

I generally run 20w-50 during the hottest months and change back to a 10 weight oil (10w-30, 10w-40) in the cooler months. Chris I just get the dealer to change my oil,I don't know what they use,because of a serious aliment,laziness. I first considered using syntytics but the dealer advised against it.My Sorento used a half litre between changes when new but at 36k seems to have stopped using any at all. I love this rig! >> My daughter just got an 02 Kia SPortage. I need to change oil. What is >> recommended for this vehicle in temperatures up to 104 degrees?

Castrol makes both, they even have a synthetic blend if you want |
