Now, use the funnel to add the recommended amount of new oil into the engine. Check your owner's manual for the correct oil viscosity and quantity. Once done, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. This will circulate the new oil and ensure proper lubrication.

Finally, check the oil level using the dipstick. Add more oil if needed. Dispose of the old oil and filter responsibly. Congratulations, you have successfully changed the engine oil in your Kia Sorento!

Firstly, gather all necessary tools such as a socket wrench, oil filter wrench, funnel, oil pan, and new oil filter. It's also a good idea to have some rags or paper towels handy.

Start by draining the old oil from the engine by removing the drain plug on the bottom of the oil pan. Once the oil has drained completely, replace the drain plug and move onto the next step.

Using the oil filter wrench, remove the old oil filter. Be careful not to spill any residual oil. Then, apply a small amount of new oil on the rubber gasket of the new oil filter and screw it onto the engine until it's snug.
