I’m looking to change the oil on my 2022 Kia Sorento that has the 2.5L engine, and I want to make sure I get everything right. Can anyone tell me the exact oil capacity for this model? I’m also curious about the type of oil you recommend using for optimal performance. Here are a few points I’m considering:

  • Quantity of oil needed for an oil change
  • Recommended oil grade (0W-20, 5W-30, etc.)
  • Any tips for the oil change process specific to this model
  • General maintenance advice related to oil changes for the Sorento

If you’ve done this before or have any experience, your input would be super helpful!

Hey everyone! I just learned that the oil capacity for the 2022 Kia Sorento 2.5 is around 5.5 quarts with the oil filter. Just in case anyone is wondering!

That’s good to know! What’s the recommended oil change interval for it? I’ve heard every 5,000 miles but would love to confirm.

I just stick to the 5,000-mile rule since I drive in a lot of stop-and-go traffic. Better safe than sorry, right?

Great question, @denniskaiser! The owner’s manual suggests changing the oil every 7,500 miles if you’re using synthetic oil, which I heard is really good for these engines.

6

That’s interesting! Do you find synthetic oil worth the extra cost? I’ve been curious about it.

7

Absolutely, @kaylawilliams! It lasts longer and protects the engine better, especially under extreme conditions. I’ve been using it since I got my Sorento.

Thanks for the tips! How do you all know when it’s time for an oil change beyond just mileage? Are there any signs?

Good question! I usually check the oil level and look for a dark color. If it looks dirty or gritty, it’s time for a change. You can also use the oil life monitor if your model has one.

I’ve never considered looking for grit! I appreciate all these tips; it makes maintenance less intimidating.

Why do people overthink oil changes? Just change it regularly and you’ll be fine, haha! But seriously, synthetic does seem to last longer.

12

Haha so true! But it’s not just about the oil change frequency; it’s also about the oil quality!

13

Reflecting on all this, I think I’ll stick to synthetic oil and keep an eye on the color. Maintenance doesn’t have to be scary!

The oil capacity for the 2022 Sorento 2.5 is around 5.5 quarts. Be careful not to overfill; it can affect engine performance!

16

That’s good to know, @webbpatrick! What are some problems that might arise if I overfill it?

17

Overfilling can lead to increased pressure in the crankcase and may cause leaks. It’s definitely something to keep an eye on!

Wow, I didn’t realize it could create leaks! That’s a legitimate concern.

Right! Plus, it could lead to foaming and reduce lubrication, which definitely isn’t good for engine longevity.

Seems like proper maintenance is more critical than I thought! I appreciate everyone’s input!
