Approximately 4.7 quarts (about 4.4 liters) of engine oil are required for a full oil change on the 2013 Kia Sportage 2.4 L with the filter in place.
The Sportage 2.4 L from that year uses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Oil capacity can vary slightly by market, trim, and whether you’re replacing the filter, so always check the owner's manual or the engine oil cap for the exact specification.
Official oil capacity for the 2.4 L engine
Kia's official specification lists the engine oil capacity as about 4.7 quarts (roughly 4.4–4.5 liters) when performing a full change with the filter. If you are not replacing the filter, the capacity is lower, around 4.0 quarts (approximately 3.8 liters).
- With filter: 4.7 quarts (about 4.4–4.5 L)
- Without filter: 4.0 quarts (about 3.8 L)
When performing an oil change, always replace the oil filter and fill to the correct level on the dipstick to avoid overfill or underfill.
Practical tips
Use the recommended viscosity for your climate (for many 2013 Sportage models this is 5W-20; some climates may allow 5W-30). Verify the exact oil grade in the owner's manual and on the oil cap.
Oil grade and maintenance
Choose a reputable API- or ILSAC-certified motor oil meeting Kia's specification (often 5W-20 or 5W-30 depending on region). Change oil every 5,000–7,500 miles (or per manual) and replace the filter during every oil change.
Summary
For a 2013 Kia Sportage 2.4 L, plan on about 4.7 quarts of engine oil for a standard oil change with a new filter (roughly 4.4–4.5 liters). The capacity drops to about 4.0 quarts (3.8 liters) if the filter is not replaced. Always consult the owner’s manual or the engine oil filler cap for the exact specification and ensure you use the recommended viscosity.
