Since I've owned my car I've taken it to kia to service the 3.3 but I've just built a new shop complete with lift and I'll start servicing it myself, that being said my question is what oil should I use, the thin weight that kia uses or something a little heavier? I live in the southeast US where we really don't have much of a winter and very hot summers

Use the recommended. Engineers test to an environment of 120deg F since car is sold world wide. Y'all ain't THAT hot - it is the humidity

Thinner oil yields best fuel economy and performance. Unless you see oil pressure below spec, you will be fine.

What is the thin weight that your Kia dealer uses?

I have no clue what the Kia owners manual says, but Genesis gives you a chart based on temperatures. I personally use 5W-30 fully synthetic of course.

Like this one from the Kia Stinger Owners manual?
