Kia Forte: Lubrication System / Engine Oil
Repair procedures
| • |
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in
the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation
and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
|
| • |
Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and frequency
of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear protective clothing and
gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use water
- less hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline,
thinners, or solvents.
|
| • |
In order to preserve the environment, used oil and used oil filter
must be disposed of only at designated disposal sites.

Install the new oil filter by hand till the gasket seats.
|
| (5) |
Tighten the oil filter to the specified torque using the oil
filter wrench.
|
Tightening torque :
11.8 - 15.7 N·m (1.2 - 1.6 kgf·m, 8.7 - 11.6 lb·ft)
|
|
|
| 3. |
Refill with engine oil.
| (1) |
Clean and install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.
|

|
| 5. |
Recheck the engine oil level.
|
When rechecking the engine oil level, be sure to warm up the
engine enough. If the engine warm up is not enough, the engine oil
level can be measured less than specification.
|
|
| 6. |
To reset the service interval to the recommended mileage, refer to the
service mode section in the owner's manual for procedure (if applicable).

Engine Oil
| 1. |
Check the engine oil quality.
Check the oil deterioration, entry of water, discoloring of thinning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
|
| 2. |
Check the engine oil level.
After warning up the engine and then 5 minutes after the engine stop,
oil level should be between the "L" and "F" marks in the dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark.
|
Do not fill with engine oil above the "F" mark.
