The oil warning light on the instrument panel of the Kia Rio model 3 indicates that it is necessary to replace the engine oil and oil filter. To perform this operation, first open the front bonnet and unscrew the oil filler cap to facilitate the oil drainage.

Next, raise the vehicle and unscrew the oil sump cap using a Torx key, allowing the fluid to drain before closing the sump and unscrewing the nut on the oil filter cover. Replace the filter and lower the vehicle.

Finally, top up the oil in the reservoir.
