    Hello everyone, how do I reset the oil change counter?

    very well explained the photos are well taken.

    the key to unscrew the oil filter is 27 and not 24.

    Well done for the very accurate explanations, thank you.

Good morning,

as Julienrez42 said, super hassle, nothing to do with the tutorial, not the same layout of the organs on Sportage III SLT 1.7 crdi

2'3 small things to adjust in the tutorial

Hello, how many screws are needed to remove the air filter housing and where are they? Thank you.

michelquinaut - Reply

The KIA Sportage in 2L from the year 2016 are different at the level of the oil filter. This one is located near the oil pan. The little extra is that the tool numbers and tightening torques are written on the bell. Be careful, provide a large recovery container for the oil. Because the capacity is 7.5 liters.

Good repair to all.

If only it was that simple to do for the diesel filter, you forgot that you also have to disassemble the calculator to be able to access the filter and be able to remove it and access to the screws is not so simple

Hello, to change the fuel filter you just need to remove the air filter housing, making sure to disconnect the flow meter. Small tip, prime the fuel filter with a primer bulb This avoids putting too much strain on the starter.

Good disassembly.

On a 1.7 l CRDI, stage 4, the socket for the oil filter cap is 27

very good too, nice work.

The amount of engine oil on step 14 would need to be added.

Sincerely

Well done,

The tutorial is clear and concise, I appreciate it.

I suggest you add the replacement of the cabin filter and give the size of the gasket to be replaced on the oil pan plug, step 7.

See you soon,

Albert
