A few things. Coolant overflow tank. I just unbolted mine and washed it out fully. Also went to a spring clamp on the hose. Radiator cap; check what pressure it can hold. Keep in mind tho, on an older car, if you replace a cap that could only hold say 10-12#, and a new one is rated at 16#, that my cause another weakness to be exposed, the water pump seal. There are two seals in the pump mated to each other, pressed together by a spring. As those seals wear down, the amount of pressure they can hold back begins to lower. So replacing the cap may cause the pump to leak. But, if the system can’t hold a high pressure, it may boil over in very hot conditions, as the pressure raises the boiling point. Battery, if you replace the battery, don’t put those felt washers under the terminals that they try and sell you. Those washers will lift the terminals up enough so they don’t clamp tightly on the battery posts. These terminals do not have enough compression space to make up for the smaller size of the post as it tapers smaller towards the top.
KIA/Hyundai use GDI (gasoline direct injection) engines. Every 20,000 miles, you'll also want to run a GDI intake valve and turbo cleaner through the throttle body. I have found that the STP Intake Valve Cleaner does the best job, and is considerably better than the CRC or Seafoam products. Doing this will de-carbonize the intake valves, which are not cleaned by fuel additive as they would be otherwise in a non-GDI engine.
Good afternoon. One thing you can also add to your car and I have a 2019 Sorento V6, is an oil catch can baffle device. I installed a new positive crankcase ventilation valve and then added a hose from the PCV valve to the oil catch can and then from the oil catch can back to where the hose is going into the fresh air box after the air filter. This way you get a lot less deposits on your intake valve and intake valve seat in a GDI engine. I can send you a photograph if you'd like just shoot me your email and I'll send you a photo or two.
Very Informative. One important note, if your using a socket wrench to open the oil drain bolt, be sure it's a 17mm 6 point socket and not a 12 point. The 12 point socket will spin and not grab and you will strip the bolt head. Just changed oil on my Sorento and learned my lesson.
I have the 2016 Sorento and love my car, now if only I had a car lift lol. I try to do some things myself but oil changes I just dont find the value these days like I did growing up and then having ti dispose of it etc. Tune-ups, brakes etc I do all myself and save a ton.
Good video. But I promise you, a typical shop won't do such a thorough job. They're in the business of getting customers in an out as quickly as possible and will likely only do the bare minimum with fluids, filters, and tire rotations. If, later, anything break or was excessively warn and the customer states it should have been caught at the main servicing intervals, they always have plausible deniability and will claim it occurred after. After bad experiences, I never trust mechanics at their word. I either do it myself or will verify everything they did by checking. This is where being a DIY really helps. The most difficult part is that people don't have their own car lifts, so investing in a good floor jack and a good set of jack stands is a must. Life would be so much better if auto maintenance and servicers weren't so scammy and dishonest and priced their work reasonably. Most of their so-called "257-point" free inspections are just them making up a long list of expensive things for them to make obscene profits on, nearly all of which are generally unnecessary. People never realize how much money they waste at these places, and how stupid cheap they get their materials for vs what they charge you.
I went to a kia dealership and they recommended the 60k service. Which I opt to do. Then when it was all done he told me that everything was done and that everything else that they checked was good. And 2 weeks later my rear brake pads were gone. making squeaking noises and stopped at a brake shop and they told me that the rear brakes were completely out. but the fronts were ok. So I remember that the kia person told me that my brakes looks good and that it doesn't need to be service yet. So brakes inspection was part of the 60k service i assume and they told me it was fine. Would that be my fault that my brakes were out? or would it be the kia dealership for giving me wrong info? Because i had to change the brakes at the brake shop instead.
This is video is applicable to 11 12 13 14 Kia Sorento... But that Kia looks like it's a 17 or 18... I'm confused. I'm a right or wrong? Please confirm, thanks in advance!
I have a 2018 kia Sorento I lose all light ,head lights tail lights and interior lights been in shop said if it doesn't do it there can't find reason. I did record it and they seen it don't know why without code. Help
I have the i4 2015 sorento. Already did inner and outter tie rods and front sway bar links. Didnt need to but i drive it a lot and go camping in the mountains so much plus i just hit 70k. My ball joint on passenger side is bad and just did that. Should i do both ball joints at the same time or can i just wait until the drivet side start making noise? Its very easy to do but hard to separate ball joint from the wheel hub
typically it's used to clean fuel injectors. In a non-GDI engine, it would also be used to clean intake valves, but since KIA uses GDI engines, you will also need to run a GDI intake valve cleaner every 20,000 miles to prevent carbon build-up on the intake valves.
Do you recommend changing the break fluid at 60000 and transmission fluid. Is this necessary or dealer up sale Break fluid is a sealed unit doesn’t get dirty
@@kalani1987 agreed, but I'd do a drain and fill 3X, spacing it out over 500 miles between drains. The flush machines can damage the trans. drain and fill takes 3 times to get most of it, but it's safer.
What about the transmission oil no change wtf radiator water is not important like transmission in fact u don't need to change the water on the radiator it a waste of money.

you don't *need* a lift. You can do this service using ramps, or a hydraulic jack and jack stands. It's just nicer with a lift.
Excellent explanation for everything!
Great video! Clear explanation and images
Thanks for your explanation you are a great teacher

What about the rear engine seal, i heard when that goes bad, thats really bad.
Very thorough nice job
Wow thank you for sharing this great video.
Now I know what I am paying for
So, given a fully kitted out workshop, how long should a competent mechanic take to do this service?
Why not take the time to fill new oil filter 90% full especially since it is vertical? Why pump air thru. engine on initial start up?
What happened with the fuel filter.
Is not part of the maintenance?

Sounds to me like they gave you bogus info, or they are blind. Wouldn't be able to miss that, especially if they call themselves mechanics!
Good video.
I spotted loads of rust in some places ,is it normal for quite new car?
thank you very much for this!

It looks like a 2016-2020
What coolant did you use? The manual just says "mixture of antifreeze and water (ethylene-glycol with phosphate based coolant for cooling device)"
I have a 2018 kia Sorento I lose all light ,head lights tail lights and interior lights been in shop said if it doesn't do it there can't find reason. I did record it and they seen it don't know why without code. Help
Do you need to change the timing chain at or after 60k?
I don't recall seeing transmission fluid refilled
Yeah I seen multiple things wrong with this video this guy's going to get some people in trouble I think he works for Kia
Sealed transmission no dipstick
@@sasscuba it has a drain plug and a fill hole. Definitely changeable.
What year is this Kia? It looks nothing like the model I’m working on ... Thanks.
+Trisha Kaaay The video is applicable to the 11, 12, 13, 14, Kia Sorento.
What transmission oil can I use for kia sorento 2003
Great job thanx
I have the i4 2015 sorento. Already did inner and outter tie rods and front sway bar links. Didnt need to but i drive it a lot and go camping in the mountains so much plus i just hit 70k. My ball joint on passenger side is bad and just did that. Should i do both ball joints at the same time or can i just wait until the drivet side start making noise? Its very easy to do but hard to separate ball joint from the wheel hub
+Multidimensional Traveler We would suggest replacing both sides at once as the parts tend to wear at the same speed.
Sad thing is the warranty will not cover a claim if you do it yourself.., got denied because of doing maintinance myself.
Please why did you put fuel additive in the the fuel tank and what it does
typically it's used to clean fuel injectors. In a non-GDI engine, it would also be used to clean intake valves, but since KIA uses GDI engines, you will also need to run a GDI intake valve cleaner every 20,000 miles to prevent carbon build-up on the intake valves.
Do you recommend changing the break fluid at 60000 and transmission fluid. Is this necessary or dealer up sale
Break fluid is a sealed unit doesn’t get dirty
Transmission yes,brake fluid only when you replace brakes.
I would change the trans fluid every 30k miles to be safe
@@kalani1987 agreed, but I'd do a drain and fill 3X, spacing it out over 500 miles between drains. The flush machines can damage the trans. drain and fill takes 3 times to get most of it, but it's safer.
Replacing sensors
BIG MISTAKE…….You should close the drain plug on the radiator before you add the antifreeze 😂😂😂
Oh no is this a do it yourself thing? End of the day you end up regretting 😂
Only for people who have no clue what they are doing. I did all this plus more and have 0 regrets at all. very simple work. Maintenance is the key
You used the wrong color coolant
No he didn't, same crap. Newer kias however do use pink, blue and green coolant.
What about the transmission oil no change wtf radiator water is not important like transmission in fact u don't need to change the water on the radiator it a waste of money.
For god sakes fill the oil filter out before putting it on
Thanks for your explanation, you are a great teacher
