2004 - 2011 Kia Picanto Service. Oil & Oil Filter, Air Filter and Spark Plugs 

Excellent! :D

Cheers bud 👍🏻

CanadianCharlie64 thanks for taking the time to comment buddy, glad you enjoyed the video. The fuel filter was changed on this particular car not too long prior to the filming of this video, this was before I had the channel uploading regular content. The Kia specified Service interval for the Picanto (all engines) is 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever is sooner. Anti-seize lube such as copper grease or similar is a very contentious subject, particularly regarding spark plugs. I do not use it in this application as the plugs are torqued to spec and adding any form of lubricant affects the torque applied. Naturally there will be others who’s opinion will differ and that is fine however I prefer not to. Hope this answers your question. Please consider subscribing for future content, it really does help the channel grow! Regards.

Cheers bud 👍🏻

If I recall correctly it was 20 Nm but I’m away from home so don’t have the manual to hand!

You will need a workshop manual of some kind buddy, you can find PDF versions on eBay that will be ideal, here's one that I found that would be perfect for your needs. rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FOFFICIAL-WORKSHOP-Manual-Service-Repair-Kia-Picanto-I-2003-2011%2F132410799180%3Fepid%3D4010266546%26_trkparms%3Dispr%253D1%26hash%3Ditem1ed44c744c%3Ag%3ARFAAAOSwxgNcERJo%26amdata%3Denc%253AAQAFAAACgBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%25252Fn%25252BzU5L90Z278x5ickkBUIiHwYv5YgVss0WaiENz7DJ88mhf8AWx4ZjyTKS6IQMtGAmZOgwgaNtiZuU%25252FY6zgflgZqphY4ppwqLYGzNKurMKlsevA9%25252BX6JOyeOWwmYor4cMSrSudz3QjtyGBpv5bpQ3cNb%25252BSl19j8C%25252B6dNY2rSzGe68BgICVeDavA1fg55oS12ZtRGwp9orwLcVPSVjmnmcvNKCqkCiw8QJPZ8uJkxWG%25252BtdMZ8efVqtuRMkgU33U%25252BZL8D3hbBKZpbE30E%25252Btfvn0zSKGZQT%25252F6AZEIcgg2Or0lal4C97vAXz5f3gNSg1MCcxTS7yv%25252BgH5YVxs0Tc9dPHce4%25252FYcLw8DfiLA%25252BxrwZ%25252F6JqLn9OMCPlACdUJHkLF8J1EJz9Hhbyght0tIhfwYnyB8Figmmams2E2tX9o4sL741OPH8Xhppv5jZQ7kTN3RbJKafSbdwW%25252B5C2ThMakghLNNx5RISA2wZ7cVeqzNJmMsx0H%25252Fdxch54FnDUqMksSlr9OZq9xWn7483n8zbkC5K7ux8LQA%25252FvwtZyg6iLH3aUlPrIkpK8WnjuH4xjNXD5oJwz7hijKNt4D1EJbyY0G7F1mPldm76tqZjI%25252BKvAQdgvQQ43DyXI3h%25252BGMTWnvnpjS12jweVVcquaYcoONsOpMlOAPqEt8p4xNatqr0itN%25252BAdR0AP3NaIlf80Q33F184gMZS59CsadJRNs6Pew%25252FdkhxQNVvBW8uAvEdUU0vkledXtYBSDKQhjZDPyKkImhCwCTWYrwYA5JGjtiA0yGUDsmm7yf%25252FThB2%25252Bl9LLxDbXOJRtHwIK5uhsq71wTtGFZiGuqUQ%25253D%257Ccksum%253A1324107991803b86b1f4d4e24489a18158225ecff450%257Campid%253APL_CLK%257Cclp%253A2334524&campid=5338707657&toolid=10001&customid=

@@KevsShed cheers! Appreciate the quick reply!

There is a drain plug on the underside of the gearbox, you can refill the gearbox through the dipstick tube to be honest! It takes about 3.5 litres of ATF. If after filling it feels like it’s struggling to pull away then top it up a bit more! 👌🏻

Annealing is really only necessary if you plan to reuse a copper washer, this process makes them as good as new again. Aluminium washers are a one shot deal and should be discarded and replaced every time.

Yeah, to be fair that actually happened with this car too, but the plug caps are only crimped onto the lead, if it happens again then it's fairly easy to recrimp them back on again!

Oil pan drain plug is 34 - 44 Nm mate 👌🏻

I would go for these ones mate, ebay.us/T3e4He The iridium plugs would be overkill for the Picanto to be honest and these ones will last 30,000 miles! 👍🤓

@@KevsShed roger.. thanks

Yasmine hope apply the correct torque as determined by the vehicle manufacturers specifications.

Nope 👍🏻 let’s just say that I made that video over a year ago and it’s had another oil filter since! It was still in there nice and snug! 👌🏻

Thank you! Cheers!

I got them from the workshop manual. If you are going to be carrying out your own work on your car then I highly recommend that you invest in one. It will have paid for itself the very first time that you use it!

@@KevsShed Thanks for your response, I've had a scan through the manual and I've found the torque specs for the drain plug, though there's no information for the spark plugs?

@@intercity24 As a general rule, spark plugs like around the 25Nm point, no more than that otherwise you risk pulling the threads out of the cylinder head.

Hi mate! In a nutshell, the two numbers mean the viscosity of the oil at cold and hot temperatures. The first number being cold and the second hot. Naturally the climate that the vehicle is being operated in would have an effect but to be fair, you would likely have no noticeable effect in using 05/40 or 10/40 in the Netherlands.

@@KevsShed thx, Btw, whats the Timingbelt interval for the 1.0 G4HE Engine? is it 4 years/60.000km ?

@@Wimpelmann There's a bit of a discrepancy in the info, Kia originally said 90,000 or 6 years but I believe that it is now recommended that it be changed at 60,000 or years as you said.

@@KevsShed thx... so mine is 4 years old now, time to replace. Would you do the waterpump too?

@@Wimpelmann Yes, always change a belt driven waterpump at the same time and also don't forget the belt tensioners too! ;)

There seems to be differing information dependant on the source. I’ve got a Kia dataset for engine oil grades and capacities that states 3.3 but I also have a Kia service manual that says 3.0! The best bet is to fill to the mark on the dipstick, run the engine and refill to the mark again 👍🏻

Circuit_ Threat The capacity for this car is 3.3 litres 👍🏻

The ones I fitted were NGK BKR5E-11, thanks for watching!

@@KevsShed i use NGK BKR5E sir? Is that ok?

@@dinnotj4674 Yeah, they are the same plugs as far as i can tell!

Not sure how to achieve that but I will look into it for you Fajar 👍🏻

thanks @@KevsShed

What is it with people complaining about my smart watch! If I want to wear a bloody Rolex to work on my car then I will!
