It comes with the filter and I put it on

Great job

Thank you

Why is this the most complicated oil change ive ever seen. You are a blessing for this video.

[@artysgarage]

Happy to help 🙏

[@ivangarcia1292]

A lot easier that the 2012 Passat I just did

[@derrickwhitley]

How do you check the oil life status from the dashboard?

[@richardlong8014]

The 2025 K5 XLS 2.5 is a nightmare to change the filter. It ain't nothing like the earlier years. You can however use a Chinese socket set on the canister housing bolt. The filter drain bolt is a metric allen wrench. Removing the filter element from the housing you need to push a flat screw driver up the center of the hole after you remove the filter housing drain bolt. The element keepers are spring loaded. Pressing the button inside the housing should release it. Or you might just try yanking the cartridge off. Purely Micky Mouse in every way. The flat rubber gasket seal is half way down inside the housing. You need an ice pick to get it out. How this system is better than a spin on oil filter is beyond me. Good luck.

I use Amsoil Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil in my 22 Kia K5 GT-Line

Or Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 Full Syn, Depends if I have enough money for Amsoil.

What a pos car even worse stupid oil change setup

And what about 2.5GDI how much the oil can i put on the engine

[@jordanhawkins4727]

For those wondering about the GT model: 8mm Allen for the FILTER Drain 27mm For the Filter housing 17mm for the Oil Pan Drain Bolt 26350-2S000 Kia Filter Kit P/N Do not use an Adjustable Wrench for the Filter Housing, you must use a socket.

[@DavidLopez-wv8qv]

Filter is not a 27 mm

[@jordanhawkins4727]

​@DavidLopez-wv8qv It is for the GT model, this looks like a 1.6T, not the 2.5T, hence the different sizes

[@isaiahdanielvlog]

@@jordanhawkins4727 It ain’t. I just changed my ladys k5 gt line and because of you and the internet i bought the 27mm which is too big

[@jordanhawkins4727]

@isaiahdanielvlog learn to read! The first line of my comment says it is for the GT not the GT-LINE, 2 different engines....

[@isaiahdanielvlog]

@@jordanhawkins4727 Well then they named it terribly. My bad. It makes no sense to name something gt line that isnt a gt imo

[@RAS4915]

I have a 2023 GT Line (1.6T) I want to use BG EPR right before the change and BG MOA with the change as they are both good products and can be used with GDI turbo engines. My concern is would KIA use this as an excuse if the engine ever developed issues while under warranty?

[@artysgarage]

I wouldn’t recommend checking with them you don’t want to do anything that would later void warranty 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good work put how about gerbox oil ?? No body talk about it

[@artysgarage]

Thank you

[@MrMountainHawk]

My Genesis has the same style filter. PSA, it takes a pretty decent amount of force to push the cartridge back on with the drain cock. When installing the cartridge into the housing, the drain cock has to be installed on the cartridge. You know you have it right when the hole in the housing and the drain cock are EXACTLY aligned (not offset). I wonder how badly quick lube places might mess this up as these filters become more common. Man I messed with this for 30 mins thinking I'm gonna crush the cartridge, then I gave it a little extra force, bam! The holes finally aligned.

[@artysgarage]

Yes it took me a bit of time aswell compared to how quick I do all my other oil changes 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@carlovanrijk4039]

@@artysgaragethanks for presenting this video. I had done a K5 oil change before but it’s been awhile. Doing one on my niece’s K5 next weekend. Thx!

[@Mike-hy8cs]

I never understood changing your own oil. It saves you about 30 bucks but the time investment to do it yourself the right way is well worth those 30 extra dollars lol

[@benm5651]

Depends what car you drive some oil changes can be over $100 and if your a 2 car family that needs 4 oil changes every year it takes 20-30 minutes and the savings is much more than $30

How many miles on car for 1st oil change, and did it smell of gas?? Thx

[@artysgarage]

I changed my oil before the light went on I believe if it was 7k but light goes on swoons 10k!!! No smell

[@saulmeza1215]

My service light came on at 5k But they told me the manual says 7500. So 7k is good?

[@johnfranklin5277]

@@saulmeza1215 if you like the car, and intend to keep it long term, I wouldn't go past 4000. Oil changes are cheap, new engines are around 10 grand, thats just the engine...not installed. Plus, these small engines, 1.6 liter, work hard, and the turbo adds more stress, add fuel dilution.....I'm doing mine every 3 to 4000 max. And the dipstick does smell a little like gas, but no increase, unlike the Honda, which shows a definite increase on the dipstick.

[@saulmeza1215]

It says to use 5.1 quarts Just curious why you went with 4.9 quarts. Is it better to be a bit under?

[@artysgarage]

In my opinion it’s better to put just a little less oil and then after I take the car of the Ramps let it run for a little and check your dip stick. You can always add little to get it at the correct level 👍

[@benmiller6165]

4.8 Liters per the owners manual…just a hair over 5 qts

[@LV-jh4zt]

Five quarts.

[@FunknMunky77]

So did you order the filter online or can I get that at a dealership? I'm new to Lia I literally just got my 2022 k5 gt line about a month ago and I'm only at 2300 miles give or take but I've never seen a oil filter like this and like doing my own work. I'm also curious at what milage do I need to do oil change on this car...3000, 5000 or 7500? I know some newer cars you can go a little longer but don't want to wait until last min I like to find that happy medium. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your video also.

[@artysgarage]

You can by the filter directly at Kia or online whatever is easier for you! I like to change oil before the light goes on especially your first oil change I would recommend 5k miles

[@TastySurrealBowl]

Recommended oil change interval is every 4,000 miles

[@tioswift3676]

@@TastySurrealBowl 8,000 miles

[@TastySurrealBowl]

You are right - the owner’s manual indicates 8,000 miles. My mistake. My personal preference is to stay at 5,000 mile intervals between changes with all GDI vehicles I’ve owned as they’re hard on oil. The oil viscosity breaks down faster in them. Coincidentally my Kia dealership’s master tech also recommended the same interval (unsolicited) for the same reason recently (at a visit re: rim compatibility questions). There are some good KZbin videos that cover GDI engines’ effects on engine oil I’ve caught in the last few years that backed up what I’ve observed in three different GDI vehicles we’ve owned from new (a Chevy, Subaru, and Buick). My feeling is spend a little more on oil now to hopefully save on repairs later after drivetrain warranty is up.

[@brandisandoval6611]

Did you have issues putting the pin back in place on the filter housing? I just changed mine today and I cannot get that pin back in for the life of me

[@artysgarage]

Yea the K5 was definitely not the easiest oil change I have done. Did you figure it out at the end?

[@TastySurrealBowl]

Thanks for the video! I just got my ‘23 K5 GT-Line 1.6L and picked up the OEM filter and the oil after watching your video. Doing the oil changes myself I plan to document my oil change intervals heavily (with a photo each time of the odometer and products used, including OEM filters & type of oil) as I’ve heard stories of warranty hassles resulting from not having conventional receipts showing required maintenance intervals documentation. This is the first vehicle I’ve encountered with so much plastic covers/plastic body trim connectors to get through just to change the oil.

[@artysgarage]

1.4L ?

[@TastySurrealBowl]

@@artysgarage 1.6L

[@tioswift3676]

Do you think all that work is Necessary in case of warrantyC

[@TastySurrealBowl]

@@tioswift3676 The 2023 K5 owners manual does state oil changes recommended every 8,000 miles for the 1.6L engine, but I’ve just always kept a close eye on the oil quality of the oil in all my vehicles as the miles go by, and I’ve found that the direct inject (GDI) engines’ oil loses its viscosity faster than non-GDI engines. Based on experience I’d rather err on the side of caution (maintaining better lubrication than the minimum recommendation). There’s a lot of discussion online for the reasons why GDI engines are so much harder on oil, and once that OEM engine warranty is up you’ll be paying all engine repair costs out of pocket, so I’d rather spend a little more on oil over the life of the car than for issues that start to arise in the higher mileage range due to trying to pull more life out of degrading oil. Personal preference.

@@artysgarage Yes, it just got its first one. The little access points for the filter and drain plug are brilliant. Gone are the days of having to drop the entire splash shield. Being able to drain the filter prior to removing it is great too. It’s the little things that make life easier.

[@artysgarage]

Yes I agree

[@Dick_Nixon]

@@artysgarage can’t forget the fact that they made it an even 5 qts. Every other car I’ve owned has been something stupid like 5.4 qts or 4.6 qts. It’s nice to be able to buy a single 5 qt jug and be done with it. I think Kia states it’s actually 5.1 qts but that extra .1 is most likely still in the engine after you drain it anyway.

[@artysgarage]

This is my second Kia I recently had a 2021 Kia Forte and I’m really impressed with the cars they make! It definitely is convenient to just go buy one jug like you said
