How To Change The Oil in a Kia Sportage - How Much Oil in a Kia Sportage - What type of oil Sportage 

Yes your right I mentioned it later in the video

Thank you for letting me know I’m glad this video helped you. My wife took her car in for the complementary service and I was not happy with the quality so I plan do do more videos on the Kia sportage so people don’t have to pay dealer prices and can do a better quality job there self

If you have any questions feel free to message me and I’ll help you the best I can

I was wondering if that would have been a better method, too. Also, I would have thought draining the oil before doing anything with the filter would have made less of a mess. No?

Thank you. And I’ll pull it back on the ramp and take a look thank you for letting me know

I got the filter from my local Kia dealership

Hey one other thing what the things you drive your car upon? I’ve seen them bed never knew what they were called. I’m DIY guy too; but I need the right equipment.

@@KingdomMinded9323 they called car ramps I have a set of plastic ones I really like. I believe I got them from harbor freight or autozone

@@4flattiresgarage701 okay both of those stores are my fav lol 😂 ok bro thanks

@@KingdomMinded9323 your welcome and if you have anymore questions just ask

When I got my oil filter I had to go to the Kia dealership. They said the filter is to new for aftermarket

@@4flattiresgarage701 that was kind of what I was thinking. Thanks

@@joaustin1 your welcome if you have anymore questions just ask

I used a WIX WL10514 oil filter. It fit just fine and came with the oil housing bolt, the O ring for the oil housing, and a washer for the oil plug.

I change the oil at 5000 miles with synthetic oil, I don’t really trust the whole 10,000 mile oil change

I did mine at 8000 miles. Oil was a bit dirty, but it wasn't terrible.

try to stick with maximum 5000 mile oil change intervals. These GDI engines are famous for carbon build up on the valves. High quality synthetic oil and frequent changes will help with the issue.

Reading some of the comments on here, I have the same car. First, this car uses a 5/20W synthetic. Kia won't honor warranties unless full synthetic is used. They gave me 3 years of oil changes free when I bought my car. This car has an oil monitoring system which tells you the percentage of oil life used in the vehicle menu on the display so changing oil every 5k is wasting oil and your money. Using synthetic oil, there isn't any reason you can't go 7500 miles before changes. Second, the 2023 2.5 has multi port injectors and direct injectors. Kia addressed keeping the valves clean by adding port injectors. Add some techtron fuel system and injector cleaner every oil change is recommended. The first trip I took in this car was 2300 miles round trip. I averaged 35 mpg highway.

Thank you and nice video

@@moistybutholes2163 thank you and I hope it helps you

I got the kit from are kia dealer and it did come with a new ring for the plug

I give them credit for designing and including those two access panels. My Mazda 5 you had to unbolt that entire lower aero tray! A zillion little fiddly fasteners 😮

this isn't a pain at all. Super easy.

@@4flattiresgarage701 thanks so much

What if mines says 25.5 Nm would it still be 27mm

@@KingdomMinded9323 the 25.5 nm is how much you torque it to it stands for Newton meters

We have the all wheel drive gas only version and it gets 32mpg highway

That's about what my wife's 2017 hyundai tucson 2.0 gets also, I think the best has been around 400 miles on a tank. It's been tuned up with new plugs and 3,000 mile oil changes.

Sorry for the late response but it was a 27mm

I’m sorry I don’t have the part number when I got mine I got it from the dealership and they looked it up by vin. But I also heard that WIX now has the oil filter so O’Reillys should have it

The only thing I know that needs to be reset is the oil life but you don’t need a laptop to do that
