Kia Sorento: Engine Oil and Filter Replacement
| Engine Oil And Filter Replacement |
|
Never use any additives to engine oil, as they can change the properties of engine oil which can cause
serious engine failure.
|
|
•
|
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the
skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
|
|
•
|
Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and frequency of contact of your skin to used oil.
Wear protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use water-less
hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
