Just bought a used one w/low miles (14K).
I routinely use Amsoil, Mobil-1, Delo (regular and Delo), Havoline, and others. My wife's 2002 Accord V6 gets (I think) Penn. 5W-20 and loves it (I'll put up the numbers soon, they are very low). The 3.5L in the Sedona is rumoured to be derived from the 3.5L in the Mitsu. Montero, but is slightly different in addition to being FWD. The 3.5 is the same as a few of the other Hyundai/Kia 3.5's.
I really like the vehicle and want the engine to last a long time. With the digits in the teens and single digits (F) last night, I'm wondering what *YOU* would run in it. I have no problem running a good "conventional" oil with a monster additive package (like Delo, etc...) but with it getting colder a syn. is making some sense.
Kia seems to recommend some strange oil weights, with them recommending 10W-40 for most things, and 5W-30 below 40F. It's got 5W-30 Castrol GTX (haven't changed the oil from the previous owner) in it now.
