How to Change the Engine Oil of the Kia Sportage

Model: Kia Sportage SL, MK 3 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Engine oil

First, open and lift the bonnet. Then prepare an oil catch container to collect the oil when you unscrew the plug from the oil sump located at the bottom of the engine. All the used oil will flow out, allowing you to change the filter. Remove the plug from the lower engine cover and unscrew the filter, preparing a collector to catch the oil that will spill out. Now, install the new filter and replace the plug on the oil sump. Pour the new oil into the correct reservoir and you're done.
