I have a 2019 Kia Sportage and I want to change the oil myself. Can someone guide me through the steps?
ReplyHi Maria! Changing the oil on a Kia Sportage is a fairly simple and essential maintenance task. Just follow these steps: 1. Park the car on a flat surface and turn off the engine. 2. Locate the oil filter and the oil drain plug underneath the car. 3. Place a drain pan underneath the oil drain plug and unscrew it to drain the old oil. 4. Remove the old oil filter and replace it with a new one. 5. Refill the engine with the recommended amount and type of oil. I hope this helps!
Hi Maria! It's always a good idea to consult your owner's manual for specific instructions on how to change the oil on your Kia Sportage. But here are some general tips: 1. Gather all the necessary tools and materials beforehand. 2. Warm up the engine before draining the oil to make it flow more easily. 3. Make sure to properly dispose the old oil and filter. 4. Don't forget to check the oil level after filling it. Let me know if you need any additional help!
Hey Maria! I've changed the oil on my Kia Sportage many times and here are some things I've learned: 1. Wear gloves and eye protection to protect yourself from hot oil. 2. Use a proper wrench to loosen the drain plug and it's a good idea to replace it every few oil changes. 3. Double check that your oil filter and drain plug are tight. And as always, if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, it's best to take it to a trusted mechanic. Hope this helps!
