I recently bought a Kia Rio and I want to learn how to change the engine oil myself. Can anyone provide step-by-step instructions on how to do this correctly and safely?
ReplyHi Samantha, changing the engine oil in a Kia Rio is a relatively simple process that you can do at home with the right tools. First, make sure you have the necessary parts and tools, such as a new oil filter, oil pan, and oil wrench. Then, follow these steps:
1. Warm up the engine by driving it around for a few minutes. This will help the oil flow more easily.
2. Park your car on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Open the hood and locate the oil filter and drain plug.
3. Place the oil pan underneath the drain plug and carefully remove the plug using an oil wrench. Let the old oil drain out completely.
