2.
Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
Start the engine and allow it to reach
normal operating temperature.
Although oil filters may have the same
external appearance, their internal
designs differ significantly. These filters
are not interchangeable. To avoid poten-
tial engine damage, use only the speci-
fied filter. Consult an authorized Kia
dealer.

Turn the engine off and wait for a few
minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to
return to the oil pan.
Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and
re-insert it fully.
WARNING - Radiator hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may be
hot enough to burn you.

Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between
F and L.
