For those who are wondering, you will need 24mm of 6 or 12 points socket wrench to open the oil filter housing. Thanks for the video! It really helped me a lot getting the correct parts.
Good old Kia, why not make it the same size as the oil drain plug? So frustrating… so Kia did my last oil change and made it so tight I couldn’t even loosen it with an adjustable wrench for fear it would strip it. I had to go buy a 24mm socket. Ridiculous!!!
Great vid! On the 2.4L and 1.6L Hyundai/Kia oil pans I wish they designed the plug area so all the oil drains out. The plug is up too far so there is always some used oil left in the bottom of the pan. I let the oil drain overnight then rock the car backwards and fwds to get the last of the oil out the best I can. The older 2.0L oil pans were designed so the drain plug was at the lowest point so all the old oil would drain out on its own. Also do use a new crush washer and don't over torque the plug as the 2.4L pans are prone to hairline cracks around the drain plug. 30 lb/fts is all you need with a new crush washer.
Great video. Are you jacking it up or shimmying under there? I don’t know where to place the Jack under the car due to all the plastic, and it’s hard to Jack it up using Jack points and get Jack stands in place in those same Jack points.
Just shimmying under at this point. I haven't even looked for the jack points yet. A set of ramps would be a good alternative to jacks but I currently don't have storage space for em.
@@RivermanTV- I just did mine, I did the shimmy too. I have a couple 2x6 boards I drove up on for a little more clearance, it's a tight fit for me lol. Thanks man.
Good info on oil change. I would have liked to seen the oil draining out of the oil pan. Did it make much of a mess draining out or get on the lower shield through the access opening?
Hey Riverman, Can you tell me the oil change torque specs (drain plug and oil filter housing). for the 23 Sportage Hybrid? I can't find them anywhere. Thanks for the video!
I don't have the official numbers. I went by the 2022 Tucson specs because there is a lot of carryover in what parts are used on these models. Haven't had any issues without the official torque specs.
25-33 ft/lbs for the drain plug, always use a new crush washer. 18 ft/lbs for the filter housing. It feels like it's cross threaded the whole way off and on but that's the design. It doesn't have to be super tight just seated as the o-ring is the seal. Most new filters like Wix come with a new o-ring and crush washer for the drain plug.
Great video, very concise and to the point. 3 quick questions: 1) The O'Reilly filter kit I believe comes with a new crush washer as well for the drain plug? Just confirming, as it does appear to show one in the kit contents. 2) How many quarts of oil per oil change in the 1.6L turbo Hybrid? 3) For the documentation part and keeping Kia happy on the Warranty -- how are you doing this? Snapping photos of the actual Oil/Filter receipts, and simply notating the date/mileage of oil change? Thanks again for the vid, and any info you can provide on the above questions.
1) Yes it does. If I left that out, it was unintentional. I do change the crush washer with every oil change. 2) The information that I am seeing calls for 5.8L or 6.1 quarts for a service fill. 3) For the documentation, I am keeping receipts of oil/filter purchases as well as documenting date and mileage. I have also taken it to the dealer once since they offer the change for free. However, the wait time is so insane that I probably won't be doing that much so I'll rely on my own documentation.
@@RivermanTV- Many thanks for the quick reply Riverman! Prior to your reply, I downloaded the 2023 Sportage Hybrid owners manual to see if volume of Oil per oil change is referenced. According to the Manual, they're calling for 5.07 US quarts (4.8L). Here's a screenshot: i.imgur.com/hpsELXJ.png Is the 5.8L (6.1 quarts) volume number referenced elsewhere? And 2 final things... 1) With this style filter where it's fully encased in a housing, are you doing any kind of "pre-fill" with fresh oil in the housing (in effect soaking the filter) prior to reattaching to the vehicle? I know with a more traditional style filter, a lot of guys will fill the filter with new oil before installing. Although doing that is kind of subjective, and you def see varying opinions. 2. With both the filter housing & drain plug, are you tightening to any specific torque spec? Or are you just tightening to snug? Thanks again!
@@kevingibbons good find! I referenced my manual when doing the oil change in the video but couldn't remember the volume it called for. I was looking through the car's specs on a website that listed just about everything. But clearly they were off. Because of the filter/housing design, I don't think it's necessary to do any sort of pre fill. Even if you did, it seems like all you would be doing is filling the "reservoir" that is the housing before oil flows to and through it. If there was some sort of definitive practice suggested by Kia I'd do it, but I don't know that there is. As far as torquing the drain plug, I set my torque wrench to about 30 pounds. This is based on specs found on comparable Kia/Hyundai models. Hopefully soon there will be more information available when it comes to torque specs and other important information for this vehicle. I had a '13 Mazda before this car and could easily find service manuals that had all this info. Not sure if Kia/Hyundai make those available for their vehicles.
Thanks so much for this video. I have the 2024 sportage which is slightly different with the pin, question though, after changing it I have a tiny slow drip from the oil filter housing, I removed everythign checked and replaced the rubber gasket redid it all and still the same thing. It's not even enough to drip in the driveway just always has a drop running down the side of the oil filter housing. Any idea what might cause this?
Are you tightening the housing with a wrench to ensure it is completely sealed? The only reason I can think of is that something is either not seated properly or tightened all the way.
In my experience there is no notable difference. This is an endless online debate but the tests and studies I've seen conclude that there is not a significant difference for normal drivers. Most off brands are manufactured by the same companies that produce the big name brands anyways.
How much is too much oil? I have about an extra quart of oil in my Sportage and the recommended amount is 5.1 quarts. Should I have it removed or is it not enough to cause issues?
Hi, how many miles did you put on this before you got an oil change? I have an SX Prestige I bought last year, and I just now got 4K miles on it, but my oil % on the dash say I have 12% remaining so. Also its my understanding that this car is supposed to have full synthetic oil so I should be able to run this to 7,500 miles.
I did my first change at around 6k but ever since then I wait until I cross the 8k mark. Some people say you should do the first change around ~5k so it certainly wouldn't hurt for you to do so. Full synthetic all the way.
You said you needed to change the crush washer every time you do an oil change if i were to get a fumoto valve would that still be true? also is the fumoto valve worth it??
I shouldve watched your video first before taking the whole air intake off. I got the oil changed at Walmart for $60 and they didn't put the cover back on
The key is documentation. So long as you keep receipts for the correct synthetic oil/OEM filter along with mileage logs, you are properly documenting your changes at the recommended intervals. Not changing oil causes very noticeable issues that are easily traced back to not changing oil. Any other drivetrain problems covered under warranty are generally not related to oil in any way. I'm sure a dealer will tell you otherwise but they obviously have a little different motivation for doing so. If your dealer offers free oil changes, by all means take advantage of them. If they don't, I'd be saving my money and ensuring the proper oil is used in my car.
Would like to thank Kia for making an utter dog 💩 of a dipstick. Good luck getting an accurate reading when trying to check at intervals between oil changes. The oil just smears up the stick and I cannot get a clear reading no matter what I do. I sucks massive 8=====D.
This is one of the most pointless design. All plastic, just refill filter and it cost (for me) $18 for kit. Saburu, Toyota, and BMW can just open cap. Then remove a simple fitler. Or old school for $4-12 per fitler. Made with metal, 100% recycle is possible.
You do know this voids your warranty for your engine if anything happens kia will ask you for proof of oil changes at XX about of miles and dates and type of oil and if it was done by a certified shop or mechanic etc , I know it sounds crazy, but dealers do everything to avoid paying out for big repairs such as a engine replacements.
Incorrect. I have records and receipts organized. My warranty is still valid. When I went to the dealer to get my free change, they failed to do it properly. I won't be allowing them to mess things up again.
For those who are wondering, you will need 24mm of 6 or 12 points socket wrench to open the oil filter housing.

The FILTER drain plug needs to be turned 90 degrees after removing the cotter pin. Only then can it be removed for draining the filter housing.

The little drain and pin thingy in the oil filter housing looks like a great area to leak and possibly cause a serious engine problem.
Agreed, and they made it plastic!!
Thanks. Once my free oil changes run out I’ll definitely be doing the oil changes myself.
You're the best. Mechanics charging me about and arm and legs
Power to the people

@@Eggwich That's a good idea. Glad you got under there!
Nice video! I think most new oil filters should also come w/ a new o-ring to put on the threaded oil filter cap.
They do! I seem to have left that bit out.
They also come with the crush washer which should be replaced at each oil change, as well as a new pin to hold the filter plug in place.
What do you get for mileage?
Good info on oil change. I would have liked to seen the oil draining out of the oil pan. Did it make much of a mess draining out or get on the lower shield through the access opening?
It flows out smooth and doesn't get on the plastic shield.
do you have the part number for the oil filter?

@@RivermanTV- thank you. Very confusing to find the right filter. This will help.
Where do you take your used oil and how much do they charge?

It doesn't have to be super tight just seated as the o-ring is the seal. Most new filters like Wix come with a new o-ring and crush washer for the drain plug.
Did you have to manually reset the oil life in the settings? Or does the car auto detect when you changed the oil by itself?
You have to manually reset it in the menus.

does the oil brand matter? as long as it’s full synthetic it’s good?
In my experience there is no notable difference. This is an endless online debate but the tests and studies I've seen conclude that there is not a significant difference for normal drivers. Most off brands are manufactured by the same companies that produce the big name brands anyways.
Can you able to make a video that replace front light bulb for 2023 Kia Sportage?
I'll consider it. I haven't looked around that area much yet so it'd be good to get an idea.
what engine oil need to use for Sportage Hybrid?
Full synthetic 0W-20
How much is too much oil? I have about an extra quart of oil in my Sportage and the recommended amount is 5.1 quarts. Should I have it removed or is it not enough to cause issues?
Personally I wouldn't be comfortable with an extra quart. Find a liquid/oil extractor on Amazon and remove the excess.
Do you know what oil filter this is and where to get it? Cnt find it anywhere!
There's a link in the description. I found mine at O'Reilly.
What size socket did you use for the filter housing?
I used a 5/16th which was a little big. 3/8 or 23mm should work but there is a little wiggle room if you have something close.
So I’m confused, how does 3/8 inch equate in any way to 23 mm? 3/8 inch equals about 9 mm, I’m kind of confused here on this comment.
Where did you buy filter at and can you provide a part number

Could access all of this without liftin the car with ramps or stands?
Yeah but it is very uncomfortable and a little difficult to work. I recommend ramps.

You said you needed to change the crush washer every time you do an oil change if i were to get a fumoto valve would that still be true? also is the fumoto valve worth it??
I've never used a fumoto valve, but it seems like whatever washer comes with it would stay in place for the life of the valve.
@@RivermanTV- oh awsome! they are unbelievably convenient and clean.
Are you sure about the oil capacity?
Everything I've seen for the 1.6 is 4.8 to 5.1qts. The 2.5 non hybrid is 6.1qts
Yeah, you're right. I was looking at a site that confounded the hybrid specs with the non hybrid. 5 quarts is what I've been doing.

I did an oil change for this car today
Filter was tight but when we started the oil bursted from the filter and i got oil over me
Pull the pin to drain the filter housing before removing it
Manual says every 8k miles how many miles should it be
8k is right.
I think every 10k miles. Or 12 months whatever come first?
You answered your own question. Follow the manual, not internet people
The oil required only comes in full synthetic!
Been buying 0W-20 for years for this and another car and never realized that 😬
This filter link provided is not compatible with kia sportage 2023. Might create issues just fyi.
This filter is absolutely compatible. Go to a dealer and buy one for the Sportage. This is what they will give you.
