How to Check the Oil Level in a Kia Sorento?

I just bought a Kia Sorento and I want to make sure I am taking care of it properly. How can I check the oil level?

To check the oil level in your Kia Sorento, make sure the engine is off and has been off for at least 10 minutes. Open the hood and locate the dipstick labeled 'engine oil'. Pull it out and wipe it clean with a cloth or paper towel. Then reinsert it and pull it back out. The oil should be between the two markers. If it is low, add the recommended oil from the cap and recheck the level.

It's important to check your oil level regularly to make sure your engine is running smoothly. To do so, park on a level surface and make sure the engine is cold. Locate the dipstick and follow the same steps as before. If the oil level is low, add a bit of oil and recheck. Just remember not to overfill.

My dad taught me to always check my oil level when I get gas. It only takes a few minutes and can save you from potential engine damage. Make sure you use the recommended type of oil and change it regularly for optimal performance.
