My daughter just got an 02 Kia SPortage. I need to change oil. What is recommended for this vehicle in temperatures up to 104 degrees?

=== My choice is Mobil1 in 10W/30 or 10W/40 if you can find any. You are meaning
104 degrees F correct?
Yes

I'm in Eastern NM with temps similar to yours. I use Amsoil Series
2000 30W w/ an Amsoil filter.-- Christian
I'm in Phoenix, so it gets even hotter than 104 here in the summer. I generally run 20w-50 during the hottest months and change back to a 10 weight oil (10w-30, 10w-40) in the cooler months.

I just stuck 10w-30 in it. Mobil 5000.

Why did the dealer advise against synthetics?
-- Christian
change to synthetic10/30
==== My choice is Mobil1 10/30
I stay with Castrol, 20-40 in the summer, , but 50 weight even in hot weather is like sludge to an engine. in the winter I cahnge to 10-30, I guess a 10-40 would be right for where you are. Castrol makes both, they even have a synthetic blend if you want
