How do you replace the engine oil on a Kia Sportage? Watch this guide video to learn the procedure: lift the car on a column lift and unscrew the oil sump plug (located under the plastic cap), allowing the oil to drain into a container (tighten the plug after draining). Use a strap wrench to unscrew the oil filter, remove it, and fit a new one, ensuring it is properly sealed around the thread.
