Recommended lubricants
Recommended SAE viscosity number
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and
durability, use only lubricants of the proper quality. The correct
lubricants also help promote engine efficiency that results in
improved fuel economy.
Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available.
Along with other additional benefits, they contribute to fuel
economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to over-
come engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to
measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer
significant cost and energy savings.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug,
drain plug, or dipstick before checking or draining any
lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy
areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads.
Cleaning the plug and dipstick areas will prevent dirt and
grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that
could be damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy
and cold weather operating (starting and oil flow). Lower viscos-
ity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weath-
er performance, however, higher viscosity engine oils are
required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of
any viscosity other than those recommended could result in
engine damage.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your
vehicle.

For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity
grade SAE 5W-20, 5W-30 (API SJ, SL / ILSAC GF-3). However, if the engine
oil is not available in your country, select the proper engine oil using the engine
oil viscosity chart.

Automotive readers have rated 2008 Kia Sedona Owners Manual 4.3 out of 5.0 based on 3 product reviews. Only had it a couple weeks, so far no problem, I like it very much.
