Can i use regular oil in a kia not synthetic it seems it will not run since i changed oil to 5w/20w full synthetic.. dying while driving within 5mins of starting the car..

Your engine oil query seems unrelated to your engine dying problem.

Does the car show you any trouble codes when you scan it? Did this problem start occurring immediately after you changed to full synthetic?

Stick to your manufacturer’s recommendation for engine oil. You should find the correct specification in the service section of your owner’s manual.

I drove the car after oil change for about 1 hour and parked it the next day then the car stalled where before it never did.. so i wonder if we didn't cause damage to a censor maybe under the car i haven't check to see it it had one near to where we put the jack under the car to hold up the car.. Car had no codes showing. so maybe fuel pump going out or fuel filter is what my dad said.
