*** Make sure you check your engine's oil level before the engine startup to verify you've filled it with a generally good level of oil. It may read slightly higher than full if the filter has not be prefilled and you're working on level ground. That's OK! You want to make sure you've filled it with a level of oil that is appropriate for that engine so it's safe to start. *** After the test drive, make sure you check for leaks and recheck the engine oil level (after letting the engine oil settle back into the drain pan). This is important to make sure you've truly filled the engine with the correct amount of oil. *** Don't forget to check your engine oil level on a regular basis (at least every other fuel tank fill-up). If a problem occurs in your engine so it starts to consume or lose oil, you don't want to wait to find out about it from the car's warning systems or engine failure.

Pre-filling the oil filter is certainly be done if you can keep the environment where you're pouring the oil into the filter clean to avoid introducing dirt into the filter as you pre-fill the filter. There are many vehicles on the road that have oil filters on the side of the engine which prevents the pre-filling of oil into the filter, like my 2006 Toyota Highlander.

I got confused when I removed the little oil cover and saw no oil pan access. I think the tray is shared with the 1.6 and 2l engine hence why there's a cut out for one and the cover for the other since I think most people got the cheaper models with the smaller engine

Great detailed video my 2016 Kia soul never leaked oil. I stupidly had Walmart change my oil this one time because they had a sale. Ever since Walmart touch my car it’s been leaking oil. I just removed the engine protector cover and it’s completely covered with oil. From looking at the engine protector cover it looks like most of the oil is leaking from the oil filter. What would cause it to leak from the oil filter is it possible that I would need to replace the oil filter housing or is there a gasket that actually on the housing. I was going to change the oil but I don’t want to until I can troubleshoot where the leak is coming from or could it be the filter gasket or the actual filter wasn’t tightened enough. I truly believe the Walmart technician did this on purpose because he noticed how much I take care of my car. Thank you

I’m convinced the Walmart employee lives a bitter hateful life and he loosened that screw so it would leak a a few drops a minute. It’s incredible once I tightened it the leak was gone. Thank you I feel like your video was a Christmas gift to me. Merry Christmas

Looking in the 2016 owner's manual, the 1.6L engine has an engine oil capacity of 3.8 US quarts vs. the 4.23 US quarts used in the 2.0L engine. The 1.6L engine's oil pan drain plug is located on the front side of the oil pan vs. the rear side of the oil pan as in the 2.0L engine. The oil filter is located in a similar position and it is the same part number as the oil filter used on the 2.0L engine. The steps to change the oil should be roughly the same for the 1.6L engine.

I would recommend changing it on each oil change. Metal drain plug washers will conform to the slight imperfections of the drain plug and oil pan when the drain plug is tightened. Getting the washer in exactly the same spot is not easily done. A new drain plug washer will have the best chance of forming a leak free seal.

My Kia Soul 17 ,, 2.0 GDI There is smoke coming out of the engine from the oil led !! is that normal ??

@RetroCarGuy530

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Steven, I assume you meant "oil lid" (that being the place where you fill the engine with oil). There should be no smoke coming out of anything inside of the engine compartment. There are several possibilities but the "smoke" could be really be heated engine coolant (steam) or actual smoke. Either one suggests something might be wrong with the coolant or oil pathways in the engine allowing them/it to access the combustion chamber of one of the cylinders. I would recommend getting this looked at by a Kia service department (if under warranty - or qualified automotive shop if not under warranty) ASAP. Our 2017 Kia Soul with a 2.0 GDI engine does not have any such symptoms.

How many liters to take 2017 Kia Soul oil 2000 engine

@RetroCarGuy530

3 жыл бұрын

According to the 2017 Kia Soul Owner's manual, the 2.0L engine requires 4.0 liters of oil (4.23 US quarts). I usually get one more quart/liter beyond what is required. I fill the engine to the specified amount (4.0 liters) in this case. I confirm the oil level looks correct on the dipstick and then start the engine and take it on a test drive looking for leaks. After the test drive shows no leaks, I let the engine settle for about 15 minutes to let the oil settle into the pan and then check oil level again to confirm it is at the full mark on the dipstick.

Why check the oil before you start the engine to run the oil through the filter than check also the engine should be warm before you drain

@RetroCarGuy530

5 жыл бұрын

Having the engine "at full operating temperature" before draining the oil is certainly a way to perform the oil change, but I usually prefer to let the oil cool down a bit (not cold) before changing the oil. It gives the oil on the top end of the engine a chance to drain back into the pan. I check the oil before the oil change to examine the condition of the oil so if any problems are occurring in the engine it may show up in the old oil before it's drained out. I check the oil level before starting the engine after the new oil is in the engine as a safety/double check of the amount I poured into the engine. Too many service techs pour in what they think is the correct amount for the engine only to have under (or even over) filled the engine by a large amount. That happens a lot to owners of my other vehicle a 2017 Chevy SS Sedan with a 6.2L LS3 engine that takes 8 US quarts, but many service techs only put in 6 US quarts. Double checking the oil level before the engine start is a good safety precaution.

@RetroCarGuy530

4 жыл бұрын

You should check it before starting and after test driving the car (letting the engine sit for a bit to allow the oil to drain back into the pan). You want to make sure you check before starting the engine to make sure you've filled the engine with an appropriate amount of oil to show up on the dipstick. In the video, the car was on ramps causing the just filled amount to appear low even before starting the engine. There are so many reports of people going to oil change shops to only have the shop short fill the engine with oil resulting in potential engine damage. My former Chevy SS sedan with a LS3 engine takes 8 quarts of oil, but many shops will only put 6 quarts in resulting in a two quart shortfall. The check before starting is just to make sure you're starting the engine with a level of oil that is appropriate for the engine. If you're working on level ground, the pre-start oil level check will likely read high due to the filter not necessarily being fully filled/saturated with oil. I agree the end of the video should also mention a recheck after the test drive. I'll add that to the video description and the first pinned comment.

If you're like me and don't want to go to the trouble of removing the plastic shield on the undercarriage, the oil filter is hard to reach, and you probably won't be able to use the type of filter wrench seen in this video.

I agree there are a variety of oil filter wrenches that will likely fit through the opening. The one I used was the one I had on-hand that fit the filter size. I use an oil filter cap wrench style for my other vehicles (because I have one that fits those filters). The only downside of leaving the plastic in place is that oil will likely drain on to the top side of the plastic cover requiring some cleaning after the oil change.

I document the tightening of the oil filter as 3/4 of a turn past the point of contact of the gasket with the metal base. That is enough compress the gasket for a proper seal without compressing it too much to cause metal-to-metal contact. Some oil filters with o-ring seals (some OEM Toyota filters for example) will have the o-ring seal compress completely if overtightened and start to leak due to metal-to-metal contact. I've never had an oil filter leak in the past 45 years on the hundred or so cars I've changed oil and oil filters.

I'm sorry to hear that your wife's 2021 Kia Soul is consuming that much oil. So far, our 2017 Kia Soul with 19K miles on the odometer does not consume any oil between oil changes. All auto manufacturers will have an acceptable/allowed amount of oil that can be consumed before they will pursue warranty work on that engine. Most of time that allowed amount is 1 quart per 1,000 miles. That seems like a lot of oil to consume and still be considered "ok". Make sure your Kia Soul's oil consumption is documented in the service record with Kia so if it starts getting worse than it is now, it will be on record and Kia should repair it under warranty.

Putting oil in the filter before installing the new filter is a debate that is often had when changing oil. Filling the filter with oil directly from the new oil container may seem like a "clean" thing to do, but depending on the environment dust/dirt can accidentally get into the oil filter. There are millions of cars on the road with side mounted oil filters which make it impossible to pre-fill the filter with oil and they survive just fine.
