What Oil Type Should I Use for My 2012 Kia Sorento?

I use Royal Purple and I swear by it! It may cost a little more, but I feel like it’s worth every penny for the longevity I’ve gained.

Royal Purple has a great reputation. I’ve been thinking about trying it, too!

Honestly, oil is oil, right? Some folks make it a big deal, but just stick to the basic recommendations! All oils sold today should work fine.

While that may be true, I believe that certain brands definitely perform better. Just my humble opinion!

I guess it depends on the specific driving conditions you face. My Sorento runs better with brand-name oil. But everyone has their own experience!

I just can’t get over how many options there are! I thought picking oil would be straightforward, but it feels overwhelming sometimes.

I totally get that! It’s like there’s a new brand every month. Just research and take your time choosing!

I used to think it was funny how people hype different oils, but now it’s like a big oil soap opera! Who knew? LOL!

LOL, @andersoncorey! That’s a perfect way to put it! Just remember, whatever oil you choose, keep your maintenance regular!
