What is the 2012 Kia Sorento oil type?

I just bought my first car and spent way more than I should. I can’t afford any car maintenance so I have to change my car’s oil on my own. Which oil should I buy?

Here are some other ways that you can save money:
  • Buy a used car, not a new one
  • Buy a car based on your needs, not your wants
  • Drive carefully as this can maintain the car and make it more efficient
  • Carpool whenever possible to save on gas
  • When buying a new car, don’t get talked into getting every extra or add-on
  • Don’t warm up your car by letting it idle as this wastes gas
