2004 - 2011 Kia Picanto Service. Oil & Oil Filter, Air Filter and Spark Plugs

[@megapangolin1093]

Cracking video, excellent news for everyone going through hard times at the moment. These should be sponsored by the government to help people save money. Thank you, Kev, great stuff.

[@bouncycastlehiredoncaster7219]

Nice touch Kev, I've gone with the spark plugs suggested further down, many thanks

[@srednivashtar5432]

I'm particularly impressed how you managed to both change the Picanto's oil and double its value at the same time. Good show!

[@KevsShed]

Excellent! :D

[@MJ720]

Great video. First one I've seen about annealing the new washer which I wasn't planning on doing until now.

[@NikosKatsikanis]

best kia videos on the web

[@KevsShed]

Cheers bud 👍🏻

[@davidupton5252]

Great video but an idea put in the size of the spark plugs the gap if they may not be right and the torque settings and washer size.

[@JothamChiwuti]

I appreciate a lot for the knowledge

[@axayoub1366]

can you please do a video on how to replace the alternator?

[@jenovebosy6318]

hi there, great video and very helpful. just wanna ask what specific type or model of oil filter you use?

[@andersdahlgren2723]

Is it possible also loosen the screw for the power steering belt in the "gap" from above or is it another screw you can see from there?

[@DutchGuy_Limburg]

What´s the Tork-Spec for the Sparkplugs? i guess this is a 1.0 Engine just like mine.

[@KevsShed]

If I recall correctly it was 20 Nm but I’m away from home so don’t have the manual to hand!

[@nkingmusicentertainment7750]

Thanks for the video! It helps

[@scb7478]

can you tell us which spark plug is best for picanto? i mean iridium and İK16 or İK20.(for economic)

[@KevsShed]

I would go for these ones mate, ebay.us/T3e4He The iridium plugs would be overkill for the Picanto to be honest and these ones will last 30,000 miles! 👍🤓

[@scb7478]

@@KevsShed roger.. thanks

[@daveellsworth8553]

Hi Kev, can you remember what the torque setting is for the sump plug please?

[@KevsShed]

Oil pan drain plug is 34 - 44 Nm mate 👌🏻

[@jonyjonsy]

Hey, great video. Is the spark plug socket 16mm? Hope you're well 😊

[@CanadianCharlie64]

I got a couple of questions if you don't mind. What about the fuel filter why didn't you change it while you were working on the car??? How often do you need to change the oil and filter???? Didn't you use any anti-sieze lube on the spark plug threads??? I'm sure the head is aluminum. . Great how to video

[@KevsShed]

CanadianCharlie64 thanks for taking the time to comment buddy, glad you enjoyed the video. The fuel filter was changed on this particular car not too long prior to the filming of this video, this was before I had the channel uploading regular content. The Kia specified Service interval for the Picanto (all engines) is 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever is sooner. Anti-seize lube such as copper grease or similar is a very contentious subject, particularly regarding spark plugs. I do not use it in this application as the plugs are torqued to spec and adding any form of lubricant affects the torque applied. Naturally there will be others who’s opinion will differ and that is fine however I prefer not to. Hope this answers your question. Please consider subscribing for future content, it really does help the channel grow! Regards.

[@cathala5]

Do you have to change and anneal the sump plug washer every time when changing the oil? Great vid 👍

[@KevsShed]

Annealing is really only necessary if you plan to reuse a copper washer, this process makes them as good as new again. Aluminium washers are a one shot deal and should be discarded and replaced every time.

[@WillTheProducerTwitch]

Hi Kev, thanks for these great videos, where do you get all the numbers for torque wrench around the car, do you have to buy a repair manual, or is it all in the owners? Cheers

[@KevsShed]

You will need a workshop manual of some kind buddy, you can find PDF versions on eBay that will be ideal, here's one that I found that would be perfect for your needs. rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FOFFICIAL-WORKSHOP-Manual-Service-Repair-Kia-Picanto-I-2003-2011%2F132410799180%3Fepid%3D4010266546%26_trkparms%3Dispr%253D1%26hash%3Ditem1ed44c744c%3Ag%3ARFAAAOSwxgNcERJo%26amdata%3Denc%253AAQAFAAACgBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%25252Fn%25252BzU5L90Z278x5ickkBUIiHwYv5YgVss0WaiENz7DJ88mhf8AWx4ZjyTKS6IQMtGAmZOgwgaNtiZuU%25252FY6zgflgZqphY4ppwqLYGzNKurMKlsevA9%25252BX6JOyeOWwmYor4cMSrSudz3QjtyGBpv5bpQ3cNb%25252BSl19j8C%25252B6dNY2rSzGe68BgICVeDavA1fg55oS12ZtRGwp9orwLcVPSVjmnmcvNKCqkCiw8QJPZ8uJkxWG%25252BtdMZ8efVqtuRMkgU33U%25252BZL8D3hbBKZpbE30E%25252Btfvn0zSKGZQT%25252F6AZEIcgg2Or0lal4C97vAXz5f3gNSg1MCcxTS7yv%25252BgH5YVxs0Tc9dPHce4%25252FYcLw8DfiLA%25252BxrwZ%25252F6JqLn9OMCPlACdUJHkLF8J1EJz9Hhbyght0tIhfwYnyB8Figmmams2E2tX9o4sL741OPH8Xhppv5jZQ7kTN3RbJKafSbdwW%25252B5C2ThMakghLNNx5RISA2wZ7cVeqzNJmMsx0H%25252Fdxch54FnDUqMksSlr9OZq9xWn7483n8zbkC5K7ux8LQA%25252FvwtZyg6iLH3aUlPrIkpK8WnjuH4xjNXD5oJwz7hijKNt4D1EJbyY0G7F1mPldm76tqZjI%25252BKvAQdgvQQ43DyXI3h%25252BGMTWnvnpjS12jweVVcquaYcoONsOpMlOAPqEt8p4xNatqr0itN%25252BAdR0AP3NaIlf80Q33F184gMZS59CsadJRNs6Pew%25252FdkhxQNVvBW8uAvEdUU0vkledXtYBSDKQhjZDPyKkImhCwCTWYrwYA5JGjtiA0yGUDsmm7yf%25252FThB2%25252Bl9LLxDbXOJRtHwIK5uhsq71wTtGFZiGuqUQ%25253D%257Ccksum%253A1324107991803b86b1f4d4e24489a18158225ecff450%257Campid%253APL_CLK%257Cclp%253A2334524&campid=5338707657&toolid=10001&customid=

wont it loosen with Vibrations if you hand tighten it?

[@mohamadshahriman6950]

May I know for Auto transmission gear box, what type of oil is use as specified by in manual book?

[@DutchGuy_Limburg]

Hi there, Does the Picanto need 10/40? Got a Picanto 1.0 from 2010 and it should get 5w30 (Kia dealer told me ) but i´m using Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 What´s the benfits of using 10/40? Greeetz from the Netherlands

[@KevsShed]

Hi mate! In a nutshell, the two numbers mean the viscosity of the oil at cold and hot temperatures. The first number being cold and the second hot. Naturally the climate that the vehicle is being operated in would have an effect but to be fair, you would likely have no noticeable effect in using 05/40 or 10/40 in the Netherlands.

[@DutchGuy_Limburg]

@@KevsShed thx, Btw, whats the Timingbelt interval for the 1.0 G4HE Engine? is it 4 years/60.000km ?

[@KevsShed]

@@DutchGuy_Limburg There's a bit of a discrepancy in the info, Kia originally said 90,000 or 6 years but I believe that it is now recommended that it be changed at 60,000 or years as you said.

[@DutchGuy_Limburg]

@@KevsShed thx... so mine is 4 years old now, time to replace. Would you do the waterpump too?

[@KevsShed]

@@DutchGuy_Limburg Yes, always change a belt driven waterpump at the same time and also don't forget the belt tensioners too! ;)

[@yasminecanter8156]

What's torque to spec??

[@KevsShed]

Yasmine hope apply the correct torque as determined by the vehicle manufacturers specifications.

[@michaeldon3871]

Hi Kev, like your videos on Kia Picanto 1, any advice on how to change auto trans fluid, I've noticed car you work on its similar to my wife. Many thanks. Regards Michael

[@KevsShed]

There is a drain plug on the underside of the gearbox, you can refill the gearbox through the dipstick tube to be honest! It takes about 3.5 litres of ATF. If after filling it feels like it’s struggling to pull away then top it up a bit more! 👌🏻

[@Finglesham]

Excellent . BUT on mine I found the HT leads plug caps were so tight in the head that one broke the rubber insulation removing it. Very annoying. So beware when removing plug caps. Also my oil filter had been installed by a gorilla the garage last time. Needed to use brute force on the chain wrench.

[@KevsShed]

Yeah, to be fair that actually happened with this car too, but the plug caps are only crimped onto the lead, if it happens again then it's fairly easy to recrimp them back on again!

[@intercity24]

Where did you retrieve the torque specs, I've been searching around the internet for a few days now and i cannot seem to find them!

[@KevsShed]

I got them from the workshop manual. If you are going to be carrying out your own work on your car then I highly recommend that you invest in one. It will have paid for itself the very first time that you use it!

[@intercity24]

@@KevsShed Thanks for your response, I've had a scan through the manual and I've found the torque specs for the drain plug, though there's no information for the spark plugs?

[@KevsShed]

@@intercity24 As a general rule, spark plugs like around the 25Nm point, no more than that otherwise you risk pulling the threads out of the cylinder head.

I think it's just 2.7 liters not 3.3L

[@KevsShed]

There seems to be differing information dependant on the source. I’ve got a Kia dataset for engine oil grades and capacities that states 3.3 but I also have a Kia service manual that says 3.0! The best bet is to fill to the mark on the dipstick, run the engine and refill to the mark again 👍🏻
