Hello,

On this vehicle the factory recommend oil is 5W-30 conventional.

Do you have the 1.4L or 1.8L engine?
Depending on the engine size it will have different oil capacity.
1.4L takes 4.25 quarts and the 1.8L takes 4.75 quarts.

As for the oil filter they are the same for either engine.
The OEM part # is 55594651
