Right now I want to change the oil in my 2002 Kia Sedona but I have several cars and I'm never quite sure what kind of oil to use in them.

What I'm really looking for is a link to a site that I can go to in general when changing my oil or a friends.

Others have asked this question before and the answers are always read the owners manual. Unfortunately I don't have one so this isn't an option for me this time.

Thanks in advance...

Just like others have already told you, you really just need to locate an owners manual for the car. Should be able to get one from the dealer for a minimal cost. Or, see if there's a Haynes or Chiltons manual available, they have that information too.

Have you tried http://www.kia.ca/pages/owner/ownersmanual.aspx or other links from your friendly manufacturer website or DDG/Google?

Section 7-40 in one says

Engine Oil    API Service SD or above, SAE 5W-30

You can also get feedback from brand user and fan forums/sites/lists/clubs etc. But RTFM is the correct first answer to the question.

There are some oil brand name companies that have a vehicle selector page and they will tell you what they recommend. But again, the owner's manual is the best place to look for the correct viscosity.
