Okay this was by far the best oil change video I've ever found 😂 great job!

Ah..wow...indeed best, simplest oil change video I have seen..and I used to build race engines...Smart of Kia to have access panels.. most times you must remove a bunch of plastic shields..Must remember to check washer on drain bolt for crush damage.

1st time youtubing anything related to my own car. And I loved every bit of it. 😋

O-16 to make the job a little classy, and to make changing oil simple. Great video!

@Drinking and DIYing Can you do a more recent oil change video on your other vehicles? The first one was very helpful thank you!!

What oil filter wrench size did u use? Thanks!

Thanks for the video! I do not see an oil filter flap underneath my 2011 Sportage.  Do you know if every Sportage is suppose to have one, is there a place that I can buy one? The dealer was rather unhelpful and simply just told me that some do and some dont.  I have a feeling that all originally have them and then some fall off.

Great video although personally I find more oil drains out with the cap off while emptying.

Funny thing is i watch this every time i change my wifes kia sportage oil, i guess the soothing voice and drinking references get me going!

[FRECKLYRAGE]

great video!!! you inspired me to change my own oil

[caseymorrison]

Great video. Have found having beer while doing oil and filter change makes the job much more meaningful. Very well thought out and informative video. Thanks....

I just bought my first ever Kia and always do my own oil changes so ended up here. Your video ROCKS! Having watched I'm certain to not forget the beer and a shot when I'm done. lol Nice job!

killer thanx.. i just bought a '11 sportage, i'm used to having old classics, muscle cars, vw's, so this car is kinda strange to me.
where's the power steering reservoir? how do you check the tranny fluid, i have an automatic? i guess i better see if i can find a workshop manual for this, the owners manual aint cutting it. thanx
