In today's tutorial, you will learn how to change the oil and its filter. Start by opening the bonnet and raising the vehicle; remove the oil filler cap to allow better drainage when you unscrew the sump bolt.

Now, go under the car, place a container to collect the used oil, and unscrew the bolt and filter to drain the old oil. After letting it drain for a few minutes, refit the sump bolt and a new filter; now all that's left is to add the new oil, and you have completed the job.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
