Car owners who bought a used car sooner or later face an important question - how much oil to fill in the 2.0 Kia Sportage 3 gasoline engine! An article about gasoline engines.
Engine oil volume
The fact is that two types of engine oil pan with an oil volume were installed on pre-styling Sportages: 4L or 6L.
The pallets differ in the amount of oil filled in and the presence of a level sensor. The first option is volume 4 liters... And the second - a car produced since mid-2011 (model year 12) has already installed a pallet with an increased volume - 6 liters and a dipstick with a red ring.
On restyled sportage editions starting in 2014, the G4NA (NU) engine was returned back 4 liters oils.
Each pallet comes with a different feeler gauge that differs in length. But if you read the KIA forums, people write: they come across completely different settings, i.e. large pallet and small dipstick, and vice versa.
Sump with oil volume 4.1
If you determine that a small pallet is installed, without a sensor, the original number of which is 21510-25001, then you will need a maximum of engine oil 4.1 liters... Oil filter: 26300-35503.
With such a pallet, in theory, the probe 26611-2G020 should be installed.
Pallet with increased volume 215102G100
If a pan 21510-2G100 is installed, then oil must be filled in maximum 6.5 liters... The probe should be: 26611-2G100. As a rule, cars produced after mid-2011. The filter will be required: 26300-35530.
If you are still not sure about the amount of oil in the engine, then it is better to buy two 4 liter canisters, and fill in already, in fact, how much will merge. The remaining oil will remain for the next change.
My Mid 2011 AWD Sportage has a large pallet and a dipstick with a red handle. I flooded 6.5 liters oil to the maximum level on the dipstick. Photo report on the replacement.
Engine oil selection
The choice of oil is already a purely personal matter for everyone, but I tend to the original Hyundai oil Turbo SYN Gasoline 5W-30, which fits the ACEA A5 classification. Well, this is my personal choice! In my opinion, the best price-quality ratio.

The Kia Sportage is a popular crossover cousin to the full-size Sorento. Sportage 3 was released in 2010, replacing Sportage 2, and gained a lot of popularity. A car was created on the Hyundai-Kia J4 platform. The engines of the model are gasoline fours of 1.6 and 2.4 liters, as well as diesel units of 1.7 and 2.0 liters.
Buyers of the model are faced with the problem of changing the oil, since they do not know how much it should be poured into a 2.0l gasoline unit. This is due to the fact that oil trays with a volume of 4 or 6 liters were installed on the pre-styling machines. They differ in oil volume and gauge. The four-liter sump was returned to the restyled models. The probes on different pallets differ in length. Today we will try to answer the question - what kind of oil to fill in the Kia Sportage 3 engine with 150 hp 2.0 l petrol?
How to choose a lubricant?
The issue of engine oil for a Korean car unit worries every owner of a Kia Sportage. The best option is to fill in the brand name used by the automaker before selling the car, but this is not always the case.
What to do in a similar situation?
- ZIC LD 5W30
- QUARTZ HKS G310
- HELIX ULTRA 5W40
These recommendations are based on European standards for the fuel used in the engine. For Russian car owners, the manufacturer offers 5W30 / ACEA A5 oil for Sportage. Based on the presented lubricating fluids, you can choose an analogue on the Russian market, following the advice of the owners of such machines.
To deal with this, you should visit the forums on the Internet and analyze the information provided. When comparing user reviews and the recommendations of the automaker, we can conclude that the following engine oils are suitable for winter: 5W30 for a gasoline engine and 5W40 for a diesel engine. Each car owner chooses a brand independently.
Different engine oils are used for each type of power unit and modifications of the Spotrage 3. The owner of a crossover needs to know exactly the liquid that is suitable for his model, taking into account the nuances. Correctly selected oil and correct replacement will increase engine life.
A high-quality liquid performs the following functions:
- Eliminates carbon deposits
- Allows you to save fuel
- Reduces friction and wear on machine components
- Increases the service life of the vehicle
What to consider when choosing?
The viscosity must be suitable for the environmental conditions in which the vehicle is operated. So, at low temperatures, fluids with a low viscosity should be used. Only synthetic ones meet these requirements.
For Sportage 3, Premium 5W-20 is suitable. The recommended oils have been verified and used during the tests. The operation of the unit of a new model with a flooded recommended one does not void the warranty.
Kia also allows the use of lubricants from other trusted manufacturers..
The viscosity determines the ability to fill the gaps in the parts of the unit, the speed of pumping through the lubrication system. The oils offered for Sportage are selected in accordance with the technical characteristics of the engine. The automaker recommends taking into account seasonal changes in the instructions: use liquid engine oils in winter, and thicker engine oils in summer. Before using the oil, you should study the technical documentation supplied with the crossover, or contact the experts in the service. The correct engine oil reduces fuel consumption and the likelihood of engine problems.
How is oil classified?
The motor fluid should be purchased from an official store or from a KIA distributor. After purchasing the Sportcage, certain conditions must be met.
So, if you bought a new filter, you will need to replace the fluid after 3000 km during the first MOT. After purchasing a used car, you should immediately replace the oil filter, since it is not known which one was used by the previous owner. All oil requirements are set by the car manufacturer. It must meet accepted international standards. The American classification is marked with indices.
So, S indicates the use for four-stroke gasoline units. For diesel engines, C is designated. Fluids are divided into classes that meet specific requirements. They also produce universal fluids.
The European classification divides oils into three groups. The first two are used in diesel and gasoline units, the third group - in large vehicles equipped with powerful engines. When choosing a lubricant, an important indicator is the viscosity level, which is classified by the SAE.
Kia introduced the Sportage frame SUV in 1993. Since then, the model has undergone several updates and since 2016 has been presented on the market in the 4th generation. For 14 years of release, its design has undergone radical changes, as well as the engine compartment. More details about the motors of the model and their maintenance (how much oil to pour) later in the article.
In the first generation (1993-2004), 2-liter Mazda engines were installed on the Sportage I: diesel with 83 hp. and gasoline with 117-128 hp, working with both mechanics and automatic. Four-wheel drive gave the car good off-road qualities and the SUV, built on the Mazda Bongo platform, quickly took a vacant niche in the market. The Sportage II debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show. It differed from the previous generation in its large dimensions and transition to the class of "SUVs" by getting rid of the frame structure. Now the crossover is built on the same platform as the Hyundai Tussan and is available in both full- and front-wheel drive versions. Quite good dynamic performance was provided by a 142-horsepower gas engine with 2 liters of volume, a 175-horsepower 2.7-liter engine and a 2.0d turbodiesel with 112 horses in the asset. In 2007-2008, the SUV was facelifted twice, and in 2010 it was replaced by the third generation.
The Kia Sportage III is a small crossover that continued production until 2016. The presentation took place at an exhibition in Geneva and during this period the novelty shared the platform with the Hyundai ix35. In 2014, a cosmetic restyling took place. The Russian version of the car was equipped with 2-liter diesel (126 and 184 hp, fuel consumption 6.9 liters per 100 km) and gasoline (150 hp, fuel consumption 8.5 liters) automatic or mechanically operated engines. The next generation of the model was shown to the public at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. Now the car is offered with 6 different power plants: 3 diesel and 3 petrol. In Russia, these are 2 petrol 1.6 and 2.0 liters (177 and 150 hp) and 1 turbodiesel 2.0d (185 hp).
