How to choose the right oil for my Kia Picanto?

I recently purchased a Kia Picanto and I'm not sure what type of oil to use. Can you provide some guidance on what factors to consider when choosing an oil for my car?

It's important to first check your car's manual for any specific recommendations on oil type. You should also consider your driving habits and the climate you live in. For general use, a multi-grade oil with a viscosity of 5W-30 will work well for your Kia Picanto.

Synthetic oil is typically more expensive, but it offers better protection and longer-lasting performance. If you do a lot of city driving or frequently tow heavy loads, synthetic oil may be a better option for your Kia Picanto.

Don't forget to also consider the oil brand's reputation and any specific additives they may include. In general, it's best to stick with a reputable brand recommended by your car's manufacturer.
