Kia Sorento: Engine Oil Repair procedures
|
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.
|
|
•
|
In order to preserve the environment, used oil and used oil filter must be disposed of only at
designated disposal sites.
|
|
| 1. |
Drain the engine oil.
| (1)
|
Remove the oil filler cap (A).
|
| (2)
|
Remove the oil drain survice cover (A).
|
| (3)
|
Removing the drain plug (A) and then drain oil.
|
|
| 2. |
Replace the oil filter.
| (1)
|
Drain oil in the oil filter by removing the drain bolt (A) located at the bottom of oil filter cap.
|
| (2)
|
Remove the oil filter cap (A) using a socket wrench.
|
| (3)
|
Install the new oil filter (A).
|
| (4)
|
Install the oil filler cap (A) using a socket wrench.
Lightly tighten the oil filter cap into place, and tighten it until the O-ring contacts the seating
surface.
Tightening torque :
25.5 - 29.4 N·m (2.6 - 3.0 kgf·m , 18.8 - 21.7 lb·ft)
|
|
•
|
When installing the O-ring, make sure that the protrusion of the O-ring faces
upward.
|
|
•
|
When attaching the O-ring to the oil filter cap, press it down enough to seat the
entire O-ring mounting part.
|
|
•
|
When installing the oil filter cap, check that the new O-ring is seated in place of
the cap.
|
|
•
|
When installing the oil filter cap, apply engine oil to a new O-ring.
|
|
•
|
Wipe off the oil remaining on the threads of oil filter cap and then install the
oil filter cap.
|
|
|
| (5)
|
Replace the drain bolt (A) with a new one and then tighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque :
3.9 - 4.9 N·m (0.4 - 0.5 kgf·m , 2.9 - 3.6 lb·ft, 34.7 - 43.4 lb·in)
|
|
Always use a new drain plug.
|
|
|
| 3. |
Fill engine oil.
| (1)
|
Install the oil drain plug (A) with the new gasket.
Tightening torque :
34.3 - 44.1 N·m (3.5 - 4.5 kgf·m , 25.3 - 32.5 lb·ft)
|
|
| (2)
|
Fill new engine oil through the oil inlet.
Before filling engine oil, remove the oil level gauge.
Capacity
Total: 6.8ℓ (1.8 U.S.gal., 7.2 U.S.qt., 6.0 lmp.qt.)
Oil pan: 5.5ℓ (1.45 U.S.gal., 5.81 U.S.qt., 4.83 lmp.qt.)
Drain and refill including oil filter : 5.8 ℓ (1.53 U.S.gal., 6.13 U.S.qt., 5.10 lmp.qt.)
|
|
First fill the half of total capacity and then fill the other half after approximate 1
minute has elapsed.
|
|
| (3)
|
Install the oil drain survice cover (A).
Tightening torque :
7.8 - 11.8 N·m (0.8 - 1.2 kgf·m , 5.8 - 8.7 lb·ft)
|
|
| (4)
|
Install the oil filler cap and oil level gauge.
|
|
| 4. |
Start engine and check for oil leaks.
|
| 5. |
Recheck the engine oil level.
|
•
|
Before rechecking the engine oil level, sufficiently warm up the engine.
|
|
•
|
If engine is not sufficiently warmed up, engine oil level could be checked below the
specified value.
|
|
•
|
After starting the engine, check the oil filter cap and drain plug for leaks.
|
|
|
Engine Oil
| 1. |
Check the engine oil quality.
Check the engine oil for discoloration, water intrusion, viscosity drop, etc. If the oil quality is
noticeably poor, change oil.
|
| 2. |
Check the engine oil level. Warm up and stop the engine, and then wait for 5 minutes before checking
whether the oil level is between the "F" and "L" marks in the dipstick. If the level is
lower than "L", check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark.
|
•
|
Do not fill engine oil above the "F" mark.
|
|
|
Selection of Engine Oil
Specification : API SN PLUS or ILSAC GF-6 / 0W-20
Allowed oil SAE viscosity : Refer to recommended SAE viscosity number
|
For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which:
| 1) |
Satisfy the requirement of the ACEA classification.
|
| 2) |
Must have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range.
|
| 3) |
Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade number and ACEA service classification on the
container should not be used.
|
| 4) |
Requires < API SN PLUS (or adove) Full synthetic > grade engine oil
|
| 5) |
Never use any additives to engine oil, as they can change the properties of engine oil which can
cause serious engine failure.
