What type of coolant do I put on my 2008 kia
Depends on the color, if it is green then you want the old glycol. If it is orange then you want the dexicool style coolant. There is a yellow, universal coolant that is compatible with either that if there is any question I would suggest.

How so I change the o2 sensor
You change the front or upstream oxygen sensors,the
ones closest to the motor at 100,000 miles or if they fail before
Use a 22mm wrench or O2 Socket that fits your application
The rear Monitor Sensors can stay until they fail
Battery barely starting car, engine only rev to 2500 rpm
Loose or corroded battery cables, Loose fan belt not turning alternator fast enough, Bad alternator, check the battery with a Voltmeter, voltage with engine stopped. should be slightly over 12V Start engine and check again.. shoiuld be over 14V. this is if the alternator is putting out a charge. Chech the output at the alternator. the BATT connection. usually a larger red wire. should be 14V+ with engine running. Since the A/C works fine with the engine running.. I would have the battery checked.. sounds like bad battery.
None of my brake lights
Hi if none of your brake lights are working then this points towards the brake light switch failing, its not expensive to buy and will only take 30min ti fit by someone who knows what their doing.
the brake light switch is located at the back of the brake pedal and its right at the very top of the pedal its a bit hard to get to but if you have a close look at the brake pedal you should just about see it its right at the very top and at the back of the pedal you should then see the switch with a couple of wires going to it.
let me know if you need further assistance ok
plz rate this solution as unrated posts wont get a response, thanks
