If you’re the proud owner of a Kia Cadenza, then you know that you need to use the best motor oil if you want to keep your car running in top condition. But with so many different types of motor oil on the market, it can be difficult to figure out which one is right for your car. In this article, we will discuss the best motor oil for Kia Cadenza and help you make the best decision for your vehicle.
How Much Oil Does a Kia Cadenza Take?
3.3L Kia Cadenza takes 6.9 quarts of 5W-30 oil with a filter.
It is suggested to utilize a viscosity grade SAE 5W-30 (API Service SM / ILSAC GF-4 / ACEA A5) engine oil for improved fuel efficiency. If your country does not sell engine oil, consult the viscosity chart to choose the appropriate engine oil.
Technically, your Kia can function properly with regular or traditional oil. This is the most basic form of oil and isn’t filtered very much. This also means that it won’t function as well as synthetic oil.
Always check or drain any lubricant around the filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before checking or draining it. This is especially vital in dusty or sandy locations and when driving on unpaved roads. Cleaning out the hole and dipstick areas will keep dirt and mud out of the engine and other components that might be damaged.
The viscosity of engine oil has an impact on fuel efficiency and cold-weather operation (engine start and engine oil flowability). Engine oils with a lower viscosity can improve fuel economy and performance in the winter, however, high-viscosity engines oils are required for optimal lubrication in the heat. Using oils with a viscosity other than that stated could result in engine damage.
Consider the variety of temperatures your car will be driven in before the next oil change when selecting an oil. Continue to choose the suggested oil viscosity from the chart.
