Hey Jay, I see that this video is four years old but I still want to say thank you so much for telling people before we start the work ourselves the correct millimeter for our sockets
My 2014 Sorento has a factory cut out for the oil filter, also I can reach the drain bolt just like that, so I don't need to remove the cover for engine oil change, only remove for transmissoon fluid change
Good, but one thing. Take a large nail, something like a roofing nail and drive it about halfway into the top center of the oil filter and pull it back out. This will nicely drain the oil out of it without it slopping all over the place.
Those lower covers are a PITA. Sometimes the bolts are rusty and hard to get off. I wonder about just leaving it off but then always put it back on. Would have been nice to have an access panel built in for oil changes. My sons Sonata has access panels for oil changes. Makes it much easier.
When I was shown how to do oil changes on my first car they put some oil in the filter before installing it. Do you recommend doing that? Thanks for the video. I wanted to see if my car would be difficult to change or not. Thanks!
No but you need to oil the o-ring on the new filter with new oil and ensure that the o-ring from the old filter isn't stuck to the underside of the engine.
That’s right. Just like they did to other model cars. Not sure why they decided to put a giant splash shield and not leave access holes. 😂😂. Who approved that design?
Question: my engine splash guard is partially torn and I would like to leave it off after the oil change. Is there any reason I should replace it? I know these are standard for newer cars but it’s a nuisance
This is why I always do my own oil changes. The drive through places are probably going to leave your engine shield off if they don't destroy it first. I live in Michigan and the bolts are often difficult to remove. You have to have a lot of patience and some lube. I only have to do it once a year since it is only driven approximately 5000 miles a year. If I had to do it more than that I would probably just leave it off.Or maybe someone will do a video on how to cut out an access panel for this vehicle.
Wish the oil pan drain plug was located lower so all the oil would drain out. 2.4L and 1.6L same deal. The older 2.0L engines had a well designed oil pan so the plug was at the very lowest point
Just found this. Thanks. I bring my car to the dealer. They neglected to reinstall the splash guard properly. Of course they denied it. Dealer OEM replacement is $460.00. I bought one online for $135. Wish me luck installing it.
@@jaythemechanic4950 DONE !!the aftermarket part fit perfectly. What took the time was removing a couple broken bolts the dealership did. Your video was very helpful.
I think these fools at jiffylube were too lazy to put my cover back on correctly. It flew off on i20 today. Thanks for this video. I'm gonna order one and try to replace it myself. Just gotta get some jack stands I think.
Thats too bad... It is very helpful to find a trustworthy independent mechanic... Changing your oil is a great time to have the vehicle inspected to see if anything needs attention in the near future... I highly doubt these " quick change" oil places do that. Most are not certified mechanics/ technicians. They just want to sell you a cabin air filter/ wiper blades/and a coolant flush. :)
I have had something similar to me happen. For me the front part of it came off, got bent under and ripped up dragging on the road. Now I have to use some zip ties to keep it on because some of the holes where the screws go are torn up. Some of the ones that weren't as torn up I put large washers on there since the hole is now larger than the bolt will hold up by itself. Doing the oil change myself also saves me $30-50 and there is no wait. :)
I worked with a guy about 18 years ago and he would never put the lower engine guards back on after replacing the engine/transmission. One day I asked him "why?" He told me.... "weight reduction." 💀
@@jaythemechanic4950 Plus more air to help keep the engine kool. More labor costs to take it off. My 2020 Dodge Journey doesn't have them on and I bought it new.
Thank you so much. I’m 60 yrs old and changing my oil for the first time. 😃

Awesome. Thank you for watching.
17 bolts on that cover to change oil - great design Kia!
yea really. It wouldn't hurt to cut a opening for the filter and drain bolt, or designed it to have a flap you can remove.
My 2014 Sorento has a factory cut out for the oil filter, also I can reach the drain bolt just like that, so I don't need to remove the cover for engine oil change, only remove for transmissoon fluid change
17! Just did mine and thank goodness the first owner left 8 out!🤯
Great video!
Lol. Thank you for watching.
This my reaction like why they gotta put 17! on there thats too much
Thank you Jay for making this video. This helped me with my first oil change. Take care and keep up your good works!
Thanks, you too!

Thank you for this brother
Just twist it off with a cup from mickey ds or quik trip.. no mess @FIR3MAN561
Thank you for this video, you make me want to do my own oil changes.
It’s always nice to have someone show you the first time. Thank you for watching
I did exactly what was done in this video. Why is the engine idling weird??? Like it feels like it wants to stall but doesn’t

I know!!! But you should always put it back. Its for aero dynamics and also protects your vehicle electronics from water and moisture.
How many liters of oil do you need for a 4 cylinder gdi engine Sorento 2017
The lower engine cover goes on after you checked to make sure nothing is leaking.
thank you for your comment. That is correct.
When I was shown how to do oil changes on my first car they put some oil in the filter before installing it. Do you recommend doing that?
Thanks for the video. I wanted to see if my car would be difficult to change or not. Thanks!
Thank you for your question. It is NOT necessary.
No but you need to oil the o-ring on the new filter with new oil and ensure that the o-ring from the old filter isn't stuck to the underside of the engine.
Thank you.
I'm thinking I take a 4" hole saw. Make a port for the filter and the screw. Never take those 17 screws out except that first time. 😂

Hi .. If you're just driving on the streets you don't have to but it's a good idea to have a little protection just in case.
It's there for aerodynamics so....

I live in Michigan and the bolts are often difficult to remove. You have to have a lot of patience and some lube.

I also sell parts and we sell these lower engine covers often.
Don't the 2017 Sorento have the canister oil filter?
How did you get the one bolt of towards the center front of the car? The bolt on mine is downwards not upwards
Is there a crush washer that needs to be replaced on the drain plug?
Yes
Wish the oil pan drain plug was located lower so all the oil would drain out. 2.4L and 1.6L same deal. The older 2.0L engines had a well designed oil pan so the plug was at the very lowest point

Never go to jiffy or any of those places. It's worth the extra 20 or even 40 and do it at the dealership

Avoid Jiffy Lube...at all costs.
Thank you for this video!
Good job

Good video bro you cut out all the bs
Thank you for watching. Hope it was helpful.
My dealership uses synthetic blend in mine.

Just leave the cover off.
