Video tutorial

In this video tutorial we will see how to replace the motor oil on a vehicle that has traveled 12,000 km. The vehicle in question is the Kia Optima, produced from 2010 to 2015. We open the front hood of the car and unscrew the oil tank cap, keeping the hood open we lift the car on stands or on a scaffold.

Using a 16 mm wrench, we unscrew the oil tank drain cap and let the oil drain into a container.

If the drain cap gasket is worn, we replace it before closing the tank. Then we unscrew the oil filter box and replace the filter.

We lower the vehicle to the ground and fill the motor oil tank with 5 liters of oil.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
