Replace the engine oil if you have exceeded the recommended mileage by the manufacturer. Here’s how to change the oil and filter.

Lift the car on a column lift or jack, unscrew the oil sump bolt using a socket wrench (after removing the plastic protective panel), allow the fluid to drain into a disposal container, and re-tighten the sump bolt (unscrew the filter next to it with a socket wrench).

Lower the car and lift the bonnet.

Top up with new fluid for the engine. Start the Kia Rio's engine to check for proper operation.
