Engine Oil and Filter Replacement

Model: Kia Rio DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2005
Part: Engine oil

Lift the car with suitable jacks and secure it with appropriate supports to prevent it from falling. Remove the front wheels for easier access. Place a plastic sheet and an oil collection bowl under the engine. Unscrew the oil cap on the sump and allow it to drain. Close the oil cap, refit the oil filter, and top up with new oil. Using a ratchet spanner, gently unscrew the oil filter and remove it from its housing. Replace the used cartridge with a new one. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centres.

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
