The Kia Sportage SL is the third version of this car model, and this video shows how to perform a full service on it without going to a mechanic. First, lift the bonnet and unscrew the oil filler cap, then move underneath the car, remove the protective cover, and place a bowl under the oil sump, which can now be drained.

Next, replace the oil filter cartridge and its seal, reattach the cover, and pour engine oil into the filler neck. To complete the service, also replace the air filter and pollen filter.
