Oh, so you pour it in the TOP of the engine? I guess that makes sense, so it can cling to everything on its way down.
Moron alert!
In all your, uhh, oil research, did you miss the part about oil being formulated with additives that makes it sticky? This is done to help oil to cling to metal parts while the engine is not in operation. An addtl reason is to combat 'cylinder wash down', so the oil isn't allowed to rinse off the cylinders walls during operation due to oil dilution(from fuel).
Don't believe me, fool? Go look it up.
Ignorance must be bliss for you...until now. Geez, are you thick!

It's SO funny how you feel free to dish it out, but can't take it. Grow the hell up, already. That last comment was made for your benefit, it's just too bad that you're too dense to know when you're being f'kd with. You've done nothing in this thread but namecall and squawl like an infant, which is likely what you are. KinderCare awaits, get yourself registered.

LMAOAY!
Why don't you start your own oil thread here? You can title it "10w-30 oil is only fit for use in lawnmowers"
Before doing so, you might want to read your owners manual under the section "oil viscosity". Kia lists 10w-30 as an approved weight for use in the Forte.
How can that be?
Also your boneheaded insistence that out of approx 1100 Kia dealers across the US, none of them could possibly be using 10w-30. And anyone who says so must be a liar.
A study by the American Petroleum Institute(API) done in 2008 found that the oil weight most used in dealer service depts was 10w-30...still.
Considering that Honda and Ford began recommending 5w-20 in 2001 and 2000, respectively, and Hyundai/Kia did so beginning with the 2006 model year, how is it possible, using your lame reasoning, that many Honda, Ford, Hyundai and Kia dealers still use both 5w-30 AND 10w-30?
You're being made a fool of here and you have no one to blame but yourself, little man.
Learn more about cars before you shoot off your mouth in a technical discussion.
LMAOAY??? Seriously Goober, you're not texting all this from your Palm Pre are you?
I've read my owner's manual, thanks. Never said it wasn't an approved weight. I asked why you'd want to use a thicker oil than necessary. Your answer was 'cling'...a noob response at best.
I wouldn't be touting the number of Kia dealers in the US if I were you, because I'm the only one that bothered calling any of them after you lied about doing so. Yes...a bald face lie and you know it....but won't admit it.
Congrats on your Google skills re: API. Any monkey with a laptop could accomplish what you accomplished. But it is YOU, after all.
Honda and Ford's oil choices impact this discussion HOW? Oh...sorry. You own a K-I-A, do you not? Is this not a K-I-A forum? Were we not discussing oil usage in a K-I-A? You're really all over the map with the way you try to argue your lame lies into existance. And yes, I PROVED that Kia dealers use 5W-30 because I bothered to call my local dealerships...an act you only pretended to do to cover your lame lies.
I hardly think I'm the one being made a fool of here, Junior since this is highly likely your first new car in your short lifetime. But I can only assume your life has been short since you act and type like a Junior High dropout circa 2009.
And as for learning about cars....this little man spent 4 years in the parts department of a GM dealership before transferring to service where I was an apprentice for another 2. Barth Pontiac-GMC-Oldsmobile, Gillette, Wyoming, in case you're skeptical. So I'm fully aware why oil is formulated the way it is, what it's 3 functions are in an automobile engine (can you name them WITHOUT Googling?) and what the advantages / disadvantages are of thick versus thin.
I figure I've wasted enough time going back and forth with someone who thinks he knows what he's talking about, yet has STILL failed to provide any documentation or proof to back up even ONE statement he's made, so I bid this thread farewell. I'm sure you'll be fine using 10W-30 since I doubt you'll be experiencing any -20 temperatures in the near future. Make sure to ask your dealer what they're putting in your car....it may be 20W-50.
You like calling people liars, but all of a sudden you pull out this BS about working at a GMC dealership. Too much!
Oh, and let's not forget these pearls of wisdom of yours regarding oil:
<< And you're wrong about which builds pressure more quickly. Thinner oil, when cold, flows faster. >>
<< Pressure at startup is pointless. >>
<< 10W oils went the way of the dinosaurs in the 1980's and at best is suited for lawnmowers. >>
I cringe when I even imagine you working as a 'service apprentice' at a GM dealership. Gives us some insight as to why GM was so screwed up if they let idiots like yourself work positions like that.
But, my guess is that's just more BS from you in an attempt to CYA.
I'm sorry you're so frustrated here, spud. Grunt...grunt...

Oh, and LMAOAY, you ask? It means "laughing my ass off at you". Texting? Too much! Where the hell are you anyway, the Ozarks? Hmm...if you're in East Texas, that qualifies.
BTW(oh, and this means "by the way"), I currently own a '04 Audi S4, a '08 Subaru Legacy GT, and the '10 Kia Forte, which I got to replace another economy car for running around in(gas mileage, you know). I've owned many cars going back 25 years.
Your assumptions, which are obviously borne of insecurity, are amuzing.
Use what oil you want, I'll use what oil I want. And next time don't hijack someone's thread(mine, in case you hadn't noticed) and call them a liar...3 times. I'll get in your face and back you off every time.
And E-Thugs use the internet? Great... no one told me...
LMFAO!!!!! Sorry couldn't resist....
Just move on and get off it already... You're both stating some facts and some opinions but it's just turned into a "My d*** is bigger than yours" contest but you both look like morons for not letting it go... grow up..

I'm sure CorsaKoup's a good guy. It just kind of deteriorated, and then I took offense at being called a liar because I wasn't willing to jump through the hoops he wanted me to.
I'm sure he knows what he's talking about regarding oil too...just so much info floating around out there about different oil viscosities, what's specified by each mfgr, what's best and why, that it clouds any discussion.
Thanks for trying to keep it civil here, Orange. Appreciate it.
Not a prob and that shows me you have common sense to realize the situation... I hate being called a liar also but sometimes we just have to let the lil stuff go... Best thing anyone can do is read there owners manual and choose for themselves... thank you for trying to help with advice and thank you to Corsa as well we just all need to chill and respect other points of view instead of butting heads.. Thanks for your efforts guys!
