2011 Kia Sorento Oil Capacity

The 2011 Kia Sorento takes 4.9 qt of oil with the G4KE engine or 5.5 qt with the G6DC engine; both use 5W-30. Check the engine code listed for your vehicle before using the capacity, because the amount changes by engine. These figures describe the listed oil capacity and recommended viscosity for those engines.

Read the capacity as the amount of oil specified for the corresponding engine, and use 5W-30 for either engine. The figures apply to the 2011 Sorento and the G4KE and G6DC engines listed here; they do not establish a different amount for another year or trim. If your engine or vehicle configuration is not identified in these facts, confirm the capacity and viscosity on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
