2025 Kia Sportage oil and transmission: gas is not hybrid.
How much oil does a 2025 Kia Sportage take, and is its hybrid transmission the same?
For the US 2.5L gasoline Sportage, Kia distinguishes 5.8 L engine-oil SERVICE fill from 6.8 L factory fill. That gasoline configuration uses an 8-speed automatic; the 1.6L turbo hybrid uses a 6-speed automatic and requires its own service guidance.
Applicable to: US 2025 Kia Sportage 2.5L GASOLINE versus separately published 1.6L Sportage HEV. No PHEV oil specification, hybrid engine-oil capacity, or automatic-transmission drain fill is inferred.
Manufacturer-specified figures by configuration
These are manufacturer-referenced values for the named configurations only. Read the exact source for your engine, trim and market instead of carrying a measurement across model names or model years.
| Vehicle configuration | Published value | Context and limits | Manufacturer evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5L gas engine · regular service oil fill | 5.8 L | Kia 2025 US gas 2.5L; distinct from 6.8 L factory fill | View original source ↗ |
| 2.5L gas engine · initial factory oil fill | 6.8 L | Factory-fill reference, not an ordinary oil-change target | View original source ↗ |
| 2.5L gasoline · transmission type | 8-speed automatic | Not the HEV gearbox; consult service manual for fluid and drain quantity | View original source ↗ |
| 1.6L turbo hybrid HEV · transmission type | 6-speed automatic | Kia's hybrid specification also lists 6.0 L lubricant capacity; this is NOT a routine drain-fill quantity | View original source ↗ |
Match the exact vehicle.
Check 1
Confirm the 2025 US 2.5L gasoline engine. Do not apply the gas 5.8 L service fill to a 1.6L hybrid or plug-in hybrid.
Check 2
Kia's transmission lubricant capacity is not evidence for a do-it-yourself drain/refill volume; use the matching transmission and authorized service procedure.
Check 3
Check the final dipstick oil level according to the manual; do not pour the 6.8 L factory-fill volume during a routine service.
