The 2018 Stinger Turbo’s 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine requires roughly 7 quarts (about 6.6 liters) of engine oil with the filter installed.
This capacity corresponds to a complete fill with the standard oil filter in place. Variation can occur by market and filter type, so always verify the exact figure for your vehicle in the owner’s manual or with a Kia dealer.
Oil capacity and specifications
Key figures and guidelines for maintaining the Stinger's turbocharged V6 are below.
- Engine oil capacity (with filter): 7.0 quarts (6.6 liters)
- Recommended oil viscosity: 5W-30 synthetic (check local specs; some markets may list alternatives)
