2021 Kia Telluride oil change. Vehicle maintenance. How to change your oil, DIY.

[@american4697]

Thank you man, always change the oil in my trucks but was looking all over for the filter on my wife’s telluride. Appreciate the video man!

[@StillinSaigon]

When you pour the oil from the gallon bottle, hold the bottle sideways or “flat” when you pour. This will keep it from spilling. Especially helpful for those pouring antifreeze out of the jug without spilling it all over your radiator and driveway.

[@GetawayWheels]

Wow, thank you for such an insightful life hack. You see, this is why I love making this channel. You guys are amazing!!

[@marklawrence343]

Thanks buddy, I have always changed my own oil with my Honda Accord coupe, but never with the Telluride. Appreciate your taking the time to make this video 📹. 🎉

[@bertrosado1969]

Awesome presentation and with a helper as well. What size is the drain plug? 10mm for the plastic housing and 27mm for the oil filter. Thanks

[@williamzwicker6804]

Thanks Dude, now I can change my wife’s car with confidence

[@GetawayWheels]

I’m glad I was able to help buddy. Listen, if I can do it, you shouldn’t have any issues!

[@igormord8636]

Is this car eating oil? 6.5qt went in and only about 4qt went out! Yes, I made sure car was warm before draining, yes I opened the drain under the hood, car was sloping a bit back at around 15-20 degrees (where the plug is), yes waited 10min or so for all oil to drain and even poured half a cup of fresh oil to "flush" a bit. Is this normal? Thanks. P.S. Regularly check oil levels and did have to add oil in between changes, but not a lot. Never saw an oil spill under the car.

[@moparmission7093]

I did the oil change on my Telluride at 4k also. I will stick with 4k intervals. Its a good idea for GDI engines.

[@GetawayWheels]

I’ll be doing it every 4K also, great idea! Thanks

[@Qwr345]

I’m sticking with every 3k miles. Old school.

[@proclific]

I hate the cartridge type filter !!! i prefer spin on but its not a deal breaker still interested in the Telluride !! you made that LOF look easy

[@GetawayWheels]

Glad I was able to help!! 😂

[@rickstevenson9487]

Yes, it was quite shock to find a cartridge type filter.

[@mikebridgeline3275]

Excellent video dad with the kids. Thanks for showing. It's better piece of mind knowing you did a well job yourself instead. As for the oil. We use recommended Total Quartz 5w-30 ACE A5 / B5. API. It's best for extreme heat and cold. In the Maintenance. book. Cheers 👍

[@GetawayWheels]

Thank you Mike!! I live my life, as if my kids are always watching me. I try to be a role model for them 24/7. Any work I can do on my vehicles or at my house, I always try to do it myself. I’ll look for that oil next time, thank you for the recommendation my friend!

[@biz4twobiz463]

Correct. That spec is very limited in America. Castrol does have one, but so does Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Which is my preferred oil in that spec.

Do a video on replacing the rear brake pads with the electronic brake

[@fernandopadilla8841]

Gracias por tu gran video Pufff me ahorre $450 dlls de servicio en San José CA

[@JoshuaEXE18]

Would help if you list the part number for the filter and the type of oil you used

[@Visualhead_Spacer]

its cool to DIY and at but.. I thought new cars come with Free 3 year or certain miles maintenance on KIA?

[@GetawayWheels]

They do, unfortunately here in South Florida, the majority of dealerships don’t take pride in good old quality work! 😂

[@dmitriykravchenko7706]

Nice guidance, we in Ukraine do the same each 8k kilometers due to the worst eco, dust, and worst quality of fuel. I like Telluride going to buy in future from insurance company. Small advice from me, buy some mic for your videos. Video quality is ok, idea also 👍, so good luck with your next videos.

[@GetawayWheels]

Thank you my friend, I really appreciate your support and advices. Welcome to the Getaway Wheels family!!

[@brucetaylor5372]

Had you drove out of state lately. And do you have sunroof???

[@GetawayWheels]

Yes, we went all the way to Atlanta, Georgia. We’ve the panoramic roof!

[@Str8Bidness]

How do you prove your oil changes for warranty purposes?

[@GetawayWheels]

You are under *no obligation* legally to get a car under warranty serviced at a dealer shop. Lots of people believe this and lots of dealers imply it when making a sale. But lesson learned get receipts and save them scrupulously, and if you DIY keep your receipts for the oil and filter etc. A quick photo of the fresh filter under the hood and one of the odometer reading (and I also photograph the receipt) at each change is also good insurance. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, says no. In fact, it's illegal for a dealer to deny your warranty coverage simply because you had routine maintenance or repairs performed by someone else. Routine maintenance often includes oil changes, tire rotations, belt replacement, fluid checks and flushes, new brake pads, and inspections. Maintenance schedules vary by vehicle make, model and year; the best source of information about routine scheduled maintenance is your owner's manual.

[@doughoffman8232]

Do you have power widows and how long you had this SUV???

[@GetawayWheels]

Yes, it has power windows and we bought it October, 2020.

[@JohnQ85]

Hi do you know if there's a device that can "drain" the oil without having to let it spill out?

[@biz4twobiz463]

Yes

[@GetawayWheels]

Sounds great!! I haven’t seen it yet..

[@GetawayWheels]

Welcome to the Getaway Wheels family, my friend!

[@keeplifemoving]

Just connected with u on ig.. coming here to get to know u... 1st few seconds of this video is already bringing ba k memories... dad teaching me how to change my oil... as a girl knowing how to change my oil back in the day was impressive lol Also.. where's the accent from??? Sounds ny'ish... I'm from NY and nj

[@keeplifemoving]

My dad also impressed on me how important a 10mm is when working on any vehicle lol

[@GetawayWheels]

😂😂 I’m always teaching the boys, knowledge is power, and the more you learn the more you earn!! I lived in New Jersey (West New York & Passaic) till I was 15, then moved to Miami. Been here the last 24+ yrs. Surrounded by every ethnic group you can think of… Love that you guys are here! This videos are kicking my butt, I feel completely out of my element. 😂😂

[@GetawayWheels]

@@keeplifemoving He’s a very smart man!! Subscribed to you guy’s channel. Keep those adventures going!!

[@unclecooper6593]

Do you have bluetooth and how long you had this suv??

[@GetawayWheels]

Yes, it comes with Bluetooth. We bought it October 2020.

[@joebrown9621]

Only thing i would add is use the genuine filter at least you're sure the Porosity and micron rating of the the filter media suits this engine perfectly by manufacturer specifications.. plus they are relatively cheap and u may even get a deal from the dealership buying 3 at a time.. it's great you're doing the services at 4000 miles..

[@darrylnevels6141]

Had mine for close a year going to hurry and paid it off.

[@GetawayWheels]

That’s great!! To me that’s the best car to own, the one that’s paid off. 😂

[@bluelude2001]

Nice Telly and nice Chevy. Wife is wanting a base model Telly to drive. Wish the used prices would drop lol.

[@GetawayWheels]

Thank you!! Talk to the sales manager, ask for 5k under MSRP.

[@joeknowz4898]

One bit of advice...get better ramps...I got longer, lower angle height....6 feet long and 10 inch left under the vehicle for my 89 Mustang.. I drove over and off those plastic two piece with a rear drive car. Going up with a front drive cars works. but going up with rear drive cars those short high angle rams slide if you hit the brake before you hit the stopper.....My last oil change at the dealer was $32 dollars with a free car was on our 2018 Kia Sorento...and no mess on the driveway....

[@bcar1ify]

Drain bolt plug is 32 ft lbs. nothing wrong with the way it was done.

[@sparkskeys889]

Nice job.👍

[@GetawayWheels]

Thank you, we really appreciate the support!!

[@catchandreleasetrout]

What band of roof bars do you have on your Telluride?

[@GetawayWheels]

Part# S9F21 AC000. It came with them from factory!!

[@GetawayWheels]

You can order them online kia accessories or go to a dealership with the part #.

[@waynearbour8109]

Those are the kia branded ones. Mine has the tuhle brand. Difference of 100 bucks maybe. I wasn't in love with kia brand

[@bubz1876]

Good job boys!! 👊🏼

[@GetawayWheels]

Thank you!!

[@ericmalone9860]

Do you have power widows and are kia suvs good suv and cars to buy???

[@GetawayWheels]

Yes, it has power windows. In my opinion it’s a great family vehicle, with amazing features. If you end up getting another vehicle with the same features, you’re going to pay a lot more MSRP.

[@Bartonhockey08]

So I used to change my own oil one of my older cars (e.g., 2002 Toyota Celica). However my 2010 Toyota Corolla S, 2016 Subaru Outback Limited, and soon to be 2021/2022 Kia Telluride have or will be going into my local dealership for the routine maintenance on the vehicle manufacturers specifications. My Corolla and Outback have followed the maintenance schedule since ownership (both bought new). I personally think it is better to have the dealer do it for a few different reasons. The first being, my time. I can work on my laptop while the dealer is doing the maintenance - killing two birds with one stone so to speak. When I was working and doing college, I’d be able to do school or work tasks rather than use an hour or two of my time servicing my vehicles. Second, the liability aspect. If the dealer screws something up - it will be a heated argument for them to fix it. Typically, they will without an argument if it is their fault. Down side to me doing it, I screw up then its my dime no matter what. Third point, brings me to the fact that you almost fully forgot a few screws. This is the exact point of screwing up and I’d be able to argue the dealer about that in the event of service was screwed up to get it fixed. On the other hand, if I forgot and later figured it out then it could be problematic on my dime. Fourth point, on a new vehicle with warranties and doing maintenance by yourself, this could cause some problems in the event of something malfunctioning and being covered under warranty. If the vehicle is routinely on vehicle specified services, it is less likely that the dealer/manufacture will push back on anything faulty (in my opinion). Furthermore, with service records documented by the dealer in my opinion provides a better resale value if one were to trade or sell their vehicle. Even if the intent is to keep the vehicle 15+ years or run it into the ground - it is a piece of mind for me knowing that I did everything I could possible do based on the vehicle manufacturers recommendations to keep the vehicle in its best operational state years to come. Thought I’d provide insight as to why someone shouldn’t do maintenance themselves, mostly with a newer car that is under warranty. None the less, glad you’re able to do it comfortably with your kiddos always a good time spending time and showing the kids the ropes on some labor.

[@GetawayWheels]

Multitasking is always a great, I do a lot of that. 😂. The screws I was just trying to be funny, but you’re right, I’ve messed up a couple of times, thank God nothing major. I personally know two guys that work for dealerships, and they don’t even take their vehicles to the dealership. 75% of the time, they don’t do the job properly, and the owner (paying customer) doesn’t even realize it, until it’s too late. There’s pro’s and con’s either way, whether you do it yourself or have the dealership do it.
