Kia Sorento Oil Filter

The oil filter on your Kia Sorento cleans the engine oil as it's used. Oil breaks down as it cycles through the engine, and the particles need to be removed to keep your engine healthy. It's part of regular maintenance, but luckily, it doesn't cost very much. When it comes time to change your engine oil and filter, AutoZone has the parts you need from popular brands had a great price.

A DIYer can change the oil filter and only a few minutes, but generally it's done as part of an oil change which takes about half an hour. On the Kia Sorento, filters are normally a cartridge style. Begin by draining the engine oil into a drain pan, then locate the oil filter housing under the hood. Open it with a wrench, then pull out the old filter and installed a new one using the gaskets provided. Tighten the cap, fill the engine oil, and run the engine to finish the job.
