2008 Kia Rio LX transmission gear oil change - 5 spd manual

[@idgafa6872]

Thank you! I was laying under the car for about ten minutes looking everywhere for that fill plug. Then I decided to come and check out KZbin. I never would have looked under that air cleaner box!

[@jeffclark5024]

Though this way will work that’s not actually the fill plug. The fill plug is on the front of the trans. It’s a 17mm head and has an aluminum crush washer. You fill the trans until oil starts coming back out.

[@donlong2323]

Fyi, this is exactly the same layout for the 2007-2010 hyundai accents. Same engine and transmission. Engine bay looks almost identical. I used this video to help me change the m/t oil on my accent. Thanks man!

[@ericmalone922]

Thank you for this video, you saved me. I couldn't believe that after I changed the cv shaft that I couldn't find where to fill it back up. Long story short I got so frustrated that I couldn't find anything on the internet that I broke down and paid 5 dollars to ask a online mechanic and he told me over and over I was wrong, and he even sent me a diagram. Only problem is the diagram shows the drain plug. He swore up and down that is where I was supposed to fill it, after telling him several times that was the drain plug he just quit responding. Worst $5 I've ever spent (probably). Once I found your video it was a breeze. Thank you again.

eric malone thanks for the nice comment and glad it helped....!!!

[@jamiehobson7154]

Such a life saver I’ve been looking for the fill plug for hours after I got it drained 😂

[@hotrodhotrod-wc3bu]

see someone who nos how to make a video wuick to the point no wasted time showed were everything was this is how all the vidios should be . but some people doooo love to h ear themselves talk on and on and on. great video bud thanks

[@nelsoncotoco7500]

Short video but Direct to the point.. Thanks man. 😊

[@MrYouBitchh]

Thanks a lot for making this video, I have the same model and this video really helps. Great job!

[@pargo9086]

Thanks, it really helps for my Kia rio 2006, It is identical.

[@MoparRob440]

Dude that's not the fill plug. That sets the preload on the shift mechanism. Anyone reading this: DON'T MESS WITH THAT BOLT. The fill looks just like the drain plug on these and is right near the shift fork, about halfway up on the front side of the transmission. The best thing to do is do it opposite order... pull the fill plug first, dip your pinky in there to get a "feel" for the level and to reassure that you in fact pulled the fill plug. Pull the drain, reinstall, fill until it just starts to run out. Done

[@throwedoffboss]

Car ran strong for years while I owed and still running strong for my niece. Changed the oil a couple times now with same procedure and no issues. Even though it may be the preload it didn't hurt to remove and replace. Maybe you can provide the bolt torque spec for preload? Maybe you can make a video of the right procedure and plug location? There wasn't a video when I made mine to help so us youtubers would probably appreciate your video. Thanks for the comment and have a blessed day.

[@JD-uy5js]

Thank you for the quick video. Perfect.

[@mikedrz]

Thanks for the video, not a lot of info out there on these cars. I have a 2007 accent. All that looks almost exact, but I don't remember taking the air box out when doing mine. I just used a long plastic tube to reach down there. Hopefully I used the right fill hole. Been working fine for a few years now.

[@patrik6292]

Awesome video.short and to the point! What type of fluid should I use?

[@laceystinson]

My 2008 Kia Rio LX manual states: [ API service GL-4, or SAE 75-85 (fill-for-life), 2.0 quarts (1.9 liters) ] for the manual transmission.

[@-powerband-gamer-6117]

can you please tell me when it is time for an oil change?

[@Jbonn6141]

Cheers for this. I'm thinking of doing the exact same. Looks like the 1.4l g4ee petrol am i correct?

[@luisarriaza6807]

how many quarts did you use?

[@brandonwilliams321]

Thank u for clear instructions

[@heezdeadjim]

Thank you for the video. I have been learning with my Rio5 SX and I hate cars, but I've learned so much about cars with this car. I have just under 87K on this 2008 and I'm betting the previous owner never changed the fluid. Guess what I'll be doing this weekend?

[@dhiathamer3047]

good job , can you tell me how much liters from oil i can add

[@throwedoffboss]

dhia thamer I since sold the car but I seem to remember from the video I used 2 qts which is about 1.89 liters

[@ManuelRivera16]

Nice video man !!!!

[@fxth2834]

Thank you good sir

[@thulkifl336]

Nice video. my mom has same car. how often are you supposed to check fluid without draining?

[@throwedoffboss]

I check mine every 30K miles, but it doesn't hurt to let it go a little longer depending on how hard you drive it.

[@brianallen9810]

The 2009 Kia Rio manual 5 speed is quite a bit different.

[@georgeworkshop]

Which part is different please as I’m doing my 2010 next week

[@miltondoria3108]

What gasket size or specific gasket do we need in order to replace the drain plug's? (Beginning DIYer here)

[@throwedoffboss]

I just got a copper washer for the drain plug itself from local parts store. Was like $1.50

[@sethbounds9114]

Thank you so much

[@mbhmorro]

Thanks mate!

[@fordranger9790]

what type of oil did you use?

[@throwedoffboss]

Royal Purple 75W-90 but I would check with the local Kia Dealership to see what they recommend

[@zacharyisaiah2608]

that’s not a brake line that’s the hydraulic line for your clutch

[@hermanjoseph900]

Thanks for sharing

[@hermanjoseph900]

BTW the oil that comes with the car is a fill for life. FYI

[@andersdakin5637]

On some cars its under the battery like IT was on my 2012 Kia Rio 😂had to take Out the battery and air box it was under the battery

[@sethbounds9114]

Wheres the check plug ?

[@winstonledford2706]

the top was full the bottom didnt have any oil in it

[@dhiathamer3047]

i have kia rio automatic is it the same ?

[@throwedoffboss]

dhia thamer automatic will be different. It will have a pan you need to drop with a filter. I suggest adding a drain plug to the pan when you take it off for future ease of oil changes. You can get a pan plug kit at your local auto parts store for cheap.

[@juliomurillo6753]

Thanks buddy

[@ytmm9055]

thankss

[@emmaziegler6647]

You dont no what your doing you fill from the side of the box. That plug is a detent not the oil filler

[@throwedoffboss]

Just showing what worked for me. Do it your way and make a video so everyone can learn or just say the plug is a detent not the oil filler and describe exactly how to fill it the way you think is correct, instead of writing negative comments. Have a blessed day.

[@emmaziegler6647]

throwedoffboss kia says the oil is fill for life which is stupid but to remove the air cleaner and other things when two inches to the right of the clutch fork there is a fill bolt. On most cars you would fill till it runs out but not on the kia, measured amount is best or you have to Remove the speedo drive because that is the oil level. Having a go is good but it was not the right way

[@closertothetruth9209]

Emma Ziegler kia's are a pain

[@samurphy]

+Emma Ziegler Kia says to change the MT/AT fluid every 48,000km on their recommended service schedule.

[@bilgidunyas1366]

I have to fill up a few liters of fat

[@gabrielaaquino3356]
