Nothing is ever as easy as youtube videos make it out to be.
I feel like I have to comment again on your oil pressure sensor switch video...because you were so informative and your video showed so much of the part that needed to be removed , I was able to gather all tools necessary and be ready to do the job as quickly and as effective as possible ..it took me 1 hr and 15 minutes and it was not easy but not hard either .. your video is by far the smartest way to do this part .. I hope more people see it before moving on to the videos of people removing half the engine just about to do this part... again I appreciate you taking the time to post this ... if I lived near you ..I would take you out for beer sir, keep up what you do. Thank you for making my life a little easier. .
Thank you very much. I try to help other people with a Kia or Hyundai. Did you get your ksds?
Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Very helpful!!
plug was just as difficult to remove. The plastic I'm sure changes shape from heating and cooling so often shape and
Just minutes ago, I did this on my 2016 Kia soul plus (2.0 GDI engine). It was quite a bit easier to access on the 2.0, as the sensor was installed literally right above the oil filter, with no brace or anything in the way use the exact same part from Duralast (purchased at a local auto zone for $10.99) did not need extensions for the socket wrench because of the easier placement. Only complication was that the shaft on the new part that the plug locks was about 1.5mm longer than the stock sensor, and the lock did not want to engage. With some careful filing, I reduced the length of the shaft enough for the plug to catch.
I have not worked on the Kia much myself, so I was very cautious, even with that, and not knowing some of the clips and such to remove the splash guard - I was done in about 60 minutes (that includes installing it, determining the plug, didn’t fit, altering the part, dry fitting the plug, reinstalling it, getting engine to temp, putting it back together, and test drive.
I experienced the same - having oil passing through the stock sensor… It appears that there may be a recall from Kia on some of the larger engines for this, so I guess it’s not really a surprise. When I removed the splash guard there was oil on the inside that was likely residual from a slow leak through the sensor and plug.
Thanks for the detailed video. Come and help me know what to expect. Yours was one of the few I found it didn’t recommend emptying the oil pan in order to make the switch that gave me confidence. I wasn’t going to get splashed in the face with oil the second I removed the original!
I did this today on a 2016 Sportage, is the same nightmare...i use a 15/16 impact socket with a short extension with a wrench, had little space but i did it slowly...then same process like you did, hand tight and a little with the wrench...worked like a charm and I never change one of this
I can't thank you enough for this and your style, beautiful. I have a 2018 Otima with 112k on it. The shop said that I needed a new oil pump. I wasn't sure that was true. until I saw your video I thank that this is what is wrong.
Oh man glad I could help. I actually been releasing all my car content on @carlgarage . Did you get the KSDS while you was there?
Thank you so much for this, you're awesome. My connector actually came right off, which never happens, so you may have just had bad luck, haha. I got this replaced on my 2017 Sorento 2.4L pretty quick. Also, for that engine it is 23 mm socket, but a 15/16 still works.
Thanks again!
Also, here were my symptoms:
Once oil was warmed up and the engine was at idle or
Thank you I did this very thing in my 2014 Kia Optima. So far so good.!
Awesome! so glad that it helped you out! shooting a video right now answering this. I hope that you have that KSDS though so that when! the engine goes out! you will be covered.
Thanks for this video. My son's 2016 Forte started doing this the other day and we freaked out a bit. He was a little low on oil but not to the L on the dip stick. He topped it off and the light still comes on/off. I'm hoping replacing this switch is the answer. Car seems to be running fine (according to him).
Thanks for the video. I had same oil light on. Luckily my car was still under warranty.
Bro, your videos have helped me big time. Thank you bro.
Glad I could help. Did you get the ksds?
Great video the dealership just replaced my oil pressure switch today but my oil light was off for a while in then came back on 1hr later
Subscribed. Thanks brother for an awesome explanation!!
Actually I just did this. Mine came right off. You have to use your pointer finger and your thumb pointer finger pull up slightly on the end of the clip and press slightly with your thumb and pull and it came right off. Hopefully that helps someone else.
Mines is leaking like crazy, im going with this before the main seal thanks !!
Is the oil pressure sensor the same place on a 2017 kia sorrento
Great video. Thank you. Mine was in an easier location. I swear they design these so its hard to work on the most basic maintenance.😢
My 2015 oil pressure light is coming on after driving for a while but only when the car is stopped, do you think the switch will fix it? No low oil no knocking
My 2015 optima, my sensor started leaking bad. But thank you for the video.
Thanks for the video, really great. Reality. Happy trails
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonder if this method will work for my 2017 kia sorento
Good job man…!
I appreciate you. Thank you.
Thanks for doing this video
so my oil pressure light came on recently on my 2018 Kia Sportage, i contacted my dealership and they said it's most likely the oil switch, the only issue is they can't see me until the 15th of August, they told me as long as i have oil in my car i should be fine to drive it, is this true or should i not really be driving my car at all with this light on? it doesn't stay on while i'm driving it just illuminates usually when i start car and then goes away after a couple of minutes
Thanks for the video exactly what I needed to change mine this time around, This will be the 3rd time we've had to change the oil pressure switch on our 2016 Kia Soul! (2.0) I have no oil leaks, and it doesn't smoke, I've changed the pvc value, oil and filter and it still eats the oil bad! I'm gonna use 5w-30 oil this time around hopefully this switch last longer than the last one! My take away from owning my first Kia is to definitely not to buy another one!
Yup, it’s part of their 2nd recall. The oil consumption recall. Did you get the ksds on your car to protect yourself when your engine goes out?
@@StraightOuttaContent not yet! I don't know if I still can? I looked up my VIN and it says there's no recall on mine.
I just changed the oil pressure switch (all but myself) 😂it's way easier on the Soul I'll say that much.
@@Dreamalea51280 Yea that’s a big misconception for people. Then their engine blows and they get upset that Kia won’t replace it. If you have a Kia/Hyundai it’s the owner’s responsibility to get the ksds. The website isn’t responsible for showing if your car has a recall cause the 2 class action lawsuits and countless articles and videos on the subject tell every one of us “get the ksds or else” lol
Hey man. Bek and masten told me they want to change the sensor first. (They think that’s it)
I told them my car shutters a bit when the light comes on. I think it’s something worse but we’ll see
hi my brother just called saying his 2013 Kia Optima oil light started coming on at idle after he let some shop did his oil change. I just spent an half hour looking into things. 1) he says Kia had the car for 5 hours previously and the said the car checked out, I said BS the only way to check it is to drop the oil pan pull the bearing caps off and mic the engine, and even if you did all what about the main bearings.
2) oil pressure switch may be bad, you really need to put a oil gauge on the car and check the pressure (or just change the pressure switch since its so cheap)
3) oil viscosity, the 2013 calls for 5w-20 to 5w-30 oil that is very thin oil especially for south TX, I recommend running at least 10W-30 oil at a minimum if your car has high mileage, HTHs
Thanks man!
did this on a 2017 optima today. took 20 minutes. did it the same way you did. you have to squeeze the connector and pull to get it off the sensor , takes no time . lol you probably were just pulling on it for an hour , great vid tho
Any oil pressure sensor (switch) should NOT have oil in the electrical connector area. That indicates it is failing (leaking). Can cause numerous problems with engine running (including oil blowing out gradually). Similar issue is when the vacuum shift actuator on a transmission is leaking - only in that case the trans fluid blowing by the vacuum diaphram is consumed by the engine instead of just blowing overboard.
so replacing would stop the leak?
@@stevedonovan9739 The one on my Kia had a busted diaphram... so yes, replacing that one stopped the leak in that car. On my HHR, it was causing other engine run issues, replacing that one caused the engine to run smoothly, and it stopped consuming oil - Kia was leaking, HHR was running rough. Look at the connector to yours, is it saturated with oil? If yes, then it is definitely leaking.
How should you clean the oil out of that sensor? I’m assuming blowing break cleaner in there wouldn’t be a good idea.
@@jasersaleh1450 I replaced the sensor (only cost 15 bucks) and cleaned the connector with spray electronics cleaner (6.99 at walmart) let it drip dry, then reconnected... works fine now... examining the old sensor, I can see the diaphram preforated, allowing the leak...
EXECELLENT VIDEO😀
You da man 😎
2017 Sorento, changed mine using this method. Layout was a bit different but more or less the same, remove the bracket, unhook the wire, remove the switch and replace it. All in all took me a little over an hour, and fixed my oil pressure light issue, thanks for the great video!
Did you have any problems unhooking the wire from the sensor? I was told that is something I really needed to pay attention to because I could mess up țhis wire.
Unfortunately, this isn't the case for my 2017 Sedona. Requires the "stupid" way of having to gain access thru the top. Regardless, thanks for your time in making this video!
I did that job about a week ago. Ridiculous, I hated removing the high-pressure fuel rails.
My Kia dealership said this is leaking and it’s not covered under the recall. They said it would cost $400 to fix. Any advice?
Hello. I just stumbled across your page
I was given a free 2010 kia forte.. It has a lifter sound and oil lressure light on
And im a chick that wants to do it myself
Just happen today 2/15/2023 KIA engines have a recall and if you’re one of the lucky ones you’ll get it fix . But if you’re like me bought a car that has a salvage title you’re out of luck. Lesson learned. 11:45
How did you clean the oil out of the sensor? I’m assuming blowing break cleaner into the season would be a bad idea.
I didn’t do any of that. I swapped it and got rid of that POS car a few months later. Bought a Lexus rx350 Fsport
can you get it from above?
My oil light comes on when I come to a full stop. It goes away when I pull off but drives rough. How can I tell if it's the switch or oil pump
It’s the switch
Tks bro I'm on it tomorrow
Hope you enjoy
Bro i literally just finished the job. Glad I have small hands to fit in the tight spaces. Tks so much
I have a 2018 and want to do it myself but taking the manifold off seems like a headache because the throttle body and other things have to come off. Will I be able to access mine from below as well?
Excellent info. Quick advice. NEVER use an impact tool to remove a sensor. You run the risk of damaging the threads in the engine and then you'll really be in trouble. Ask me how I know. Kinda glad you weren't able to remove it with the impact gun you had there. 😬And no, an Oil Pressure Switch/Sender should never have oil coming out of it and sipping into the connector. That will cause electrical short, thus, giving an erratic reading. Good video, though. 👍
This video is super old and I dont have the car anymore. And from experience ive used an impact to remove a sensor and many other things lol gotta be a real mechanic to get it done right without breaking it but thanks for watching.
My oil pressure light began flickering on when vehicle came to a stop and engine was idling (with about 134,000 km mileage). The light then began to stay on after I start the car, and remains on for 15 seconds to a minute, so I'm sure it's getting worse, and I'm guessing this is probably also one of the reasons it is losing oil. I will have it fixed and check to see if the light stays off as you say. Thanks for posting this vid.
Hit that Subscribe button I might start doing more kia content
Did you end up getting it fixed and what was the issue because I am having the same issues on my 2013 optima with 133, 000 km.
@@pullupshoots384 Yes, I brought the car into the Kia dealership and had them install a new oil pressure switch. They said the old one had oil on it. I changed the PCV valve myself; disconnected the tubing, unscrewed the old one, screwed in the new one, reconnected the tubing. An easy job, and I am sure it will need doing again in another 100,000 km, but no more flickering or staying on of the light. 🙂
@@pictyus okay thank you very much because I took mine in to a dealership and they told me they have to open up the car/engine and the labour just to check out the issue alone would cost 5000 South African rands(about 290$). Doing self research might’ve just saved me a lot more money 💸🤑. 🙃
@@pullupshoots384 I made a mistake saying I changed the oil pressure switch myself. I did not, but you can if you follow the youtube video. At the same time, buy a new PCV valve, unscrew your old one, and screw in the new one. The PCV valve is very simple to do. Your Kia should run like a charm again.
HEY JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU KUDOS FOR THE VIDEO.... I SAVED A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS FROM YOUR VIDEO....THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATIVE VIDEO......Ì
Appreciate it man. Glad I could help
My oil light only comes on when I’m at a complete stop and sometimes the car shuts off . Is it the switch ?
You managed to fix it?
Just started happening to my 2014 kia the oil light comes on and off how did you know for sure it was the oil switch ?
There's a recall on the switch. If it comes on and off then that means the signal to the switch is going bad causing the light to come on. With that said though ask a professional to look at the car. I am not a professional and I am only giving my opinion.
I was thinking about buying a Kia optima 2015 2.0L with 58km, should I buy it? What are the common issues with the 2015 optima?
You stated "km" are you in Canada?
Caribbean, I live in barbados
Its either between the 2015 Kia optima or a 2015 Subaru Impreza.
I just want to know what are some of the common issues/problems with the Kia optima.
stay as far away from these cars as possible. major major engine issues. plus u live around salt air that will only make things worse. my engine is dying at 112k miles
Try doing an oil pressure switch on the Hyundai 3.3 & 3.5L .....PITA!
Told you that wuz up !!!
Safety switches should be made easier to remove
RIGHT!!!!
Is oil pressure switch and oil pressure sensor the same thing?
Everytime I call the parts store they say they only have the oil pressure switch 🤔
Same - the sensor functions in most cars as a on (working) or off (switch or pump fail) indicator... an intermittent functioning (failing) one will cause all kinds of issues, as the cars computer trys to compensate for the flakey signals such as rough idle, etc. Had one starting to go on my daughter's Kia Forte, replaced it, car now has the original pep restored, and is no longer gradually losing oil (it was blowing out the failing switch)... hope this helps...
My sorento is blowing oil out everywhere under my car because of that sensor! I guess I have to go tackle this job myself because it's over a month before I can get my car in the shop! I can't wait any longer my engine will blow because of a part that cost $11.65....unbelievable..
So what I'm seeing is that you DON'T have to drain the oil first before changing the sensor.
Sorry, I did not replace the oil pressure switch myself, but the TH-cam video should tell you if you must first drain the oil.
The Kia stinger production has been canceled, plus the Kia Stinger twin turbo sucks. It's not faster then a v6 dodge charger. All show & NO GOv
Looks like you broke an extension or adapter 😂
No, those switches aren't supposed to leak. They're supposed to be sealed. If they do leak, they are bad.
I took the connector off in one try. Lol.
Lol shit took me years
@@StraightOuttaContent getting it unscrewed took me years. Lol
@@lukecartwright1803 ahhhh okay! Lol
It’s not supposed to have oil in it. The seal in it is bad that’s why it don’t work.
Take the starter out of that stinger. Lol worse engine design.
Long video
Long money
Soon as you said "angle thing" I was done watching.
