[@abcdefghei]

Thanks man such a nice video keep it up brother ❤

[@MountainManMo]

Glad you liked it!

[@PerryJohansson]

Nice video. I want to remind to be careful with the fillning cap on the valvecover. Place it in a clean environment during the tap and filling up process to reduce the risk of dust or dirt entering inside the engine.

Kia rio 2012 oil drain plug must be turn clockwise the same with oil filter to loosen the bolt..

[@ElijahPrivetteRealEstateVlogs]

Thank you for this! I have a Kia Rio 2016 with 5W 30 full synthetic oil. Can I still use the same filter that’s the preferred in the description?

[@joecolling2063]

If you only fill to full you didn't account for the 1/2 quart that has to fill the oil filter, fill to slightly over full to account for this

[@Rando2930]

I've always just turned the car on for about 30 seconds and then rechecked the oil levels and put in more as needed

[@janhanson3955]

Thank you

[@ron9594]

prefill the new oil filter to avoid a dry start which will cause engine wear

[@aaronblanton3198]

Yes, Always have oil in the filter to eliminate damage to the bearings. It takes a bit for the oil filter to soak up oil. Prefill and eliminate dty damagrd bearings. An engine rebuild us not Cheap

[@ricardoperez-vq4qy]

How many oild

[@MountainManMo]

Remember to recycle your oil. most places where you bought the oil will recycle it for free.

Start it after you fill it with oil to fill oil filter then check your oil again

[@abcdefghei]

Which size filter is would need for rio ?

[@collisw8302]

Should I be topping up my oil between changes? Thanks for the video by the way, I just bought a 2022 Rio Sport.

[@MountainManMo]

Yes, you should keep the oil level between the L and F on the oil dip stick to avoid engine damage.

[@MrDarth44]

is it the 1.2L engine?

[@AliHuseen-xw2ns]

1,6

[@jimbrant9682]

Is that blue thing the oil cleaner.

[@Rando2930]

[@johnmayheu2563]

Wrench sizes would be helpfull

[@WelcometotheFamily1]

the drain plug was 17 mm

I’m a new driver(I have a 2014 Kia Rio) so forgive me if this is common knowledge, but if your car is burning oil how do you stop it and why does it happen?

[@ambercole6704]

Look up scotty kilmer on KZbin. Great car guy also.

[@MountainManMo]

Kia uses low tension rings for the engine cylinders which lead to higher oil consumption. this was used to help increase fuel mileage, but then burns off more oil in the engine so check your oil every 1000 miles. You can also have an oil consumption test and if it is ~1 L per thousand miles kia has been replacing engines for free (still have to pay for the oil change). Also if your PCV valve is stuck open it will burn even more oil so check or replace the PCV valve here is a link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPdqGWnmdObZqc

[@MountainManMo]

Yes, Scotty Kilmer is another good resource.

[@madilynroesner3966]

@@MountainManMo Ah, okay. Thanks so much!

I too prefer QS Full syn.

I go with what has the best sale.

[@jaydenedgar4393]

I think my Kia rio is leaking oil any ideas where it’s coming from ?

[@MountainManMo]

if you do not see drops on the drive way then it is most likely burning / consuming oil which is typical of engines with low tension piston rings. I would suggest checking your oil level every 500 miles to make sure the level does not go too low. Changing the PCV valve can help if it is stuck closed as the PCV valve can cause high oil pressure and force oil to leak. A PCV valve stuck open will vent oil to the engine and burn it. Both conditions will consume oil. Worn piston rings are another main cause but can be a bit more complicated to replace. A PCV valve is easy to change and cheap see video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPdqGWnmdObZqc good luck. Also if you are burning 1+ qt per 1000 miles you can have the dealership do an oil consumption test and if it is that high they sometimes replace the engine for free.

[@محمدعليمناحي]

The engine oil capacity is 4L or 3 and a half

[@gillesturcotte5661]

Stick a nail through the filter to get leverage ... but just don't put it so tight. Dirty oil makes engine burning it ( piston's oil ring gets clogged )

[@MountainManMo]

The dealership changed it up until this time. I was amazed that the dealership did not mention the burning oil to me. I realized this when I started changing the oil myself. Now I know why they said do not let it go 3,000 miles between oil changes these engines burn oil like crazy.

[@gillesturcotte5661]

@@MountainManMo . My daughter has a 2014 Rio with 300k km (190k miles) that burns after 3k miles. Probably oil ring gets clogged when oil is dirty. Oil still can lubricate , but must be changed.

Pennzoil is better made by same company

I go with what is on sale.

[@jimbrant9682]

Can't you just clean and reuse the oil filter.

[@dajhrm]

Are you serious? How cheap are you to ruin an engine to save $10

[@caseylee3314]

Don’t do this. This method is very dangerous! Please do right!
