#2007 KIA SPECTRA OIL TYPE MANUAL#

This is a big departure from what's in the factory service manual.ДЄdditionally the owner's manual says: 'For better fuel economy, it is recommended to to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 5w20,5w30 (API SJ,SL / ILSAC GF-3). 5w20 and 5w30 are allowed from the bottom of the scale to the top. 10w30 is ok from -5 to 120F, which would certainly encompass any conditions I am likely to encounter here in Texas. It gives the specs as SJ,SL or above, ILSAC GF-3 or above. The owner's manual seems to paint a different picture. This is the kind of recommendations most manufacturers made up until the early 80s, but haven't been seen in quite some time. 5w30 is stated to be only for use in temps below 10C. It seems to state that 10w30 is OK up to 40C, but that 10w40 and 15w40 should be used for temps above that (we do occasionally exceed 40C/102F here in the summertime).

In there, it mentions using an oil of API SH or above and ILSAC GF-1. The factory service manual is actually available ONLINE (!!!!) at the following address:Д¬hoose the options for Spectra, 2006, and 2.0 to get the service manual for my car. Manufacturer's recommendations are all over the place. I haven't found that many UOA's on Kia vehicles at all.Д®ngine is a Hyundai 2.0 'Beta II' with variable valve timing, or CVVT as they call it. I'm looking for oil recommendations in the beast. In the shocker of the year, I have traded in my 2004 Nissan Titan for a 2006 Kia Spectra 5.
