Full synthetic offers the best high-temp stability and cold-start flow, which is why it’s the recommended choice for most 2018 Kia Sorento V6 engines.

Conventional oil meets basic standards; blends add some synthetic for improved protection; full synthetic delivers the strongest resistance to oxidation and deposits. For Burlington winters and stop-and-go commutes, full synthetic helps your 3.3L V6 maintain cleaner internals and consistent viscosity.

• Full synthetic: strongest protection and stability
• Blend: mid-tier performance
• Conventional: least resistant to heat and deposits

Use a genuine Kia filter (e.g., 26300-35504 or superseding OEM part) matched to your Sorento’s VIN.

OEM filters maintain correct bypass-valve specs and media efficiency for the 3.3L V6. We confirm the correct part by VIN at check-in and install it with a new crush washer to ensure a reliable seal. Using the proper OEM filter supports warranty compliance and consistent oil pressure.

• Genuine Kia filter, VIN-verified
• New drain-plug washer installed
• Old filter and oil disposed responsibly
