Dear Mr Tony. I just want to say I appreciate all your tutorials. Its not easy sharing your mechanic knowledge for free. Recently, I learned how to change my first oil change on my Optima 2012. Saving some money by diy instead of visiting shops. Keep up the good work and keep your enthusiastic energy.
Thanks so much! This was the first oil change in our Optima since we bought it, and hubby needed to know how to locate the oil filter. He watched the video, went out and changed the oil and filter without a glitch! He even appreciated the instructions on where to place the jack and jack stand!
When removing the filter on an Optima, it's easy for the old oil to seep around the sides and collect on the plastic housing that runs across the bottom of the front end. This allows even a small amount of oil to eventually collect somewhere and drip - sometimes not even near the filter. Happened to me. I would suggest placing a large rag between the plastic housing and the motor to act as a dam to catch excess oil.
Thanks Tony, clear, quick, no tangles, no fancy words, thanks so much.
Great video, Tony. Keep up the good work.
Dude very thorough!!! Great quality vid...no stopping or pausing. Very detailed and Bravo Zulu for the notebook tip at the end!!! A+++
thanks tony...i really learned alot and appreciate your hard work in putting this video together. im so tired of being ripped off that i want to chnage my oil.
Hey, this was a brilliant video!
I did want to tell you, the Xtended Guard Oil filters you used are some of the best oil filters in the business. Sadly, the Xtended guard (now to be called Ultra) are not too commonly found. You normally find the Tough Guard and Extra Guard which have cardboard end caps inside.
So while most Frams don't look too good inside, the ones you used are the exception!
However, if there is a bulletin out and everything, better to use OEM, but no harm done!
Great Video...Keep em coming!
Thanks for the video. I just changed the oil on my wife's 2015 Kia Sorento. It's the same as the optima, with the grey gaurd underneath the vehicle.
thanks so much man. you really helped me out.
Thanks for the video man! Really helped a automotive noob like me.
Great video !!!!!! You should make a video of you showing how to change your brake pads and rotors on your Optima or either Sorento
Great video! Thanks Tony. I changed the oil in my car as you said and I saved some money. ;)
Good SHIT I liked it straight to the point easy to follow accurate and dude is pretty cool
Great video! Thanks Tony. I changed the oil in my car as you said and I saved some money. Just one doubt: can I change the oil filter without changing the oil? thanx
I have a 2013 Optima EX. Do you do your own radiator flushes? Owners manual says to bring it to the dealership, but I'd rather do it myself. Is there a drain plug or do you have to remove a hose?
Life saver bro thanks for the instructional
Thanks for the video!
Yes, this will work on a KIA Rio. The location of the drain plug and filter may be a little different, but they will be easy to find.
Thanks you so much for posting this video! It really helps out! On average how much could you save a year changing your oil yourself rather than taking it to the dealership, do you know?
I have a 2012 SX Turbo. I can't figure out where I can jack this thing up from. If I jack from the jack points stated in the manual then I have no where to put the jack stands. If I jack from where you jacked in this video I'm pretty sure I will crack the plastic. The first time I changed the oil on this car I put the jack stands on the control arm...which I later found out is a bad idea. Is the undercarriage the same on the 2012 as the 2011 Optima? Any advice?
thanks for the video
nice helpful video thank's men
@TheMadhatter2561 -- I didn't know that. No more Fram filters for me. Thanks!
You can get them at the Kia dealer when you buy the filter. They are under a buck. They also have them at places like O'Reilly's, but the ones from Kia are thicker and see to seal better. Thanks for asking.
You should have left the plug out untill after you pulled the filter more oil will leak out when the filter is removed also your suppost to clean the base where the filter goes so no dirt or junk screws up the filter seal and causes a leak
Just saw the note about the Fram Oil Filters. Do you have another brand you recommend? Where can I get technical service bulletins? I've never done any maintenance myself. I just did the air filter myself - yehaw! And I was about to do the oil.
Where did you buy gasket for drain plug? And do you have to ever replace drain plug? thanks!
Recommend using disposable latex or nitrile gloves when changing oil to protect your skin.
Are you still using synthetic oil or have you changed to conventional or syn blend?
@iateyourd0gg - I wish this had the turbo option, but I couldn't wait to get it. The turbo would probably get me in trouble anyway. Without the turbo, it definitely wants 5w-20. Thanks
I'm not familiar with the engine in the hybrid. I'm sure it's not the same. The process would be the same, but the location of the filter and drain plug will be different. Thanks
Would it be the same steps for the 2012 KIA Sorento
It's the same process on a 2010, but the filter and drain plugs may be in different places.
hi,how much litr oil i have to add?
hi Tony, please help me...How to Change gas filter on my Kia sorento 2.4 lts. 2011, thx a lot!!!
Nice video
Yes. It's the same.
Great vid & info. Doing the first oil change on our 2013 Sorento & didn't want to crawl under it before knowing what to look for & F.Y.I. Kia Sorentos are built in the USA! not Korea
Ashley, I'm not as concerned with savings as I am with using quality oil. I'm concerned about the quality of oil they use at the dealers. These cars can go 7000 miles between oil changes -- but only when you use good oil. I alway use full synthetic Mobile One and you can't get that at the dealer. I hope that helps. Thanks
very very good video and you are a funny :)
thank you for the help
dude your awesome
Where can I find Mobile one? Is it a brand similar to Mobil 1 or is it a knockoff?
Nice car! I have a 2013 Sorento. Can you show us how to do a break fluid flush?
Hey, a 2013 Sorento shouldn't need it's brakes flushed. If it does, take it in because it is still under warranty. Sorry, I don't have a video on that.
I should have looked more closely at the label. I was referring to Mobile 1. Thanks
@wantonfly10 --- It's hard to see stuff looking through a camera some time. I've changed that oil before. I really should rehearse some of this stuff I do. But then, it wouldn't be tool dude style. Thanks for watching.
what kind of oil does a 06 kia sorento 3.5 v6 use?
look at either your owners manual or the oil fill cap on the engine.
You can save a lot and make sure it is done correctly. Dealerships some times don't even change your oil since they know no one is gonna check afterwards. Especially older people and woman. Don't bother going to stiffy lube as they would rob you blind. Do it yourself. Good luck and take care.
cool, man..
@john1240able --- I did a year ago. Got some great deals. This Optima is loaded and lots of fun. The Sorento has a 4 cylinder engine and gets 25 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway -- For real! Plenty of power too. They are nice cars.
Awesome, going to walmart now :D
Great video. Can you do one on dropping an oil pan to clean engine sludge ?
Thank you so much!
I just bought some Kia oil filters from Kia. They were only $6. That's cheaper than those crappy Fram filters from Wally World.... :)
You know there's a TSB put out by Kia/Hyundai about FRAM filters, right? I wouldn't use FRAM even if it was given to me. Kia/Hyundai oem filters are about $6 and light years better than FRAM.
12 yr kia master technition ,just a fyi for ya fram oil filters worst for kia ,not using a kia factory oil filter will set a check engine light and can cause engine damadge due to improper oil flow rate into cvvt assy ,also full synthetic oil defenetly not recommended for kia ,
also you can use a semi synthetic ,but I wouldn't recommend full synthetic for a kia ,and waiting 7k to change your oil is crasy that factory recommendation for light duty use its recommended that oil in ohio climate be changed every 5k in a kia ,our dealership uses semi synthetic good oil not all dealerships are bad just some
I switched to KIA filters with the next oil change. Only did this one with Fram. The KIA filters cost less than the FRAM do too. I just paid $6.60 each for 6 of them. Don't forget to install a new drain plug gasket.
Tool Dude Tony I get so tired of hearing fram filters are junk. I had a 90 Noam trick that I sold with over 350000 miles on it. Only time motor was open was when I put timing chain guides in. I've used fram on everything I've owned including motorcycles and custom motors. Kia doesn't make oil filters. ..they sell a filter that is rebadged as their own filter. Only suggestion I would make is buy the fram ultra oil filter is good for 15000 miles and Mobil 1 synthetic extended drain oil which is also good for 15000 miles. I change my oil every 10000 miles normally about once a year and no issues. Regular oil and filters are recommended to be changed over in Europe every 7500 miles and that isn't on synthetic. Just my 2 cents.
tooldudetony did you just buy to new kia.
It was smart of you to use gloves so you don't get oil on your hands lol.
You weren't wearing the gloves lol
You could, but you'll have z big mess and you'll lose enough oil that you may as well change it. Good luck with that one. 😎
@hh1608 -- Really, I hate wearing gloves and only did it for the video to set a good example. Something else is more likely to kill me than oil. Crypes.
5-30 not 5-20
orrrrr take it back to walmart and say i got the wrong one
wash that car man. 😂
man ur oil was dirrrty. good video tho.
Hahaha gloves...Who needs gloves...
