How do I choose the right engine oil for my Kia Stonic?

I recently bought a Kia Stonic and I wanted to make sure I am using the right engine oil for my car. Can you provide some guidance on how to choose the right engine oil for my specific Kia Stonic model?

As a general rule, it's best to refer to your car's manual for specific recommendations on engine oil. You can also check the oil cap or dipstick for any indicators of the recommended oil viscosity. It's important to choose the correct oil to ensure proper engine performance and longevity.

You can also consider the climate and driving conditions you typically encounter. For example, if you live in a cold climate, a lower viscosity oil may be better to ensure easier engine start-ups. If you do a lot of stop-and-go city driving, a higher viscosity oil may provide better protection for your engine.

Another factor to consider is the type of oil, whether conventional, synthetic, or a blend. Synthetic oils offer better performance and protection, but they can be more expensive. If you're on a budget, a blend of conventional and synthetic oil could be a good compromise.
