Make sure that you are using the correct oil for your car. To get an idea of how much oil you need; the gap between the marks on the dipstick usually represents around 1 litre of oil, so you know that if your oil mark was at the minimum, you need around a litre to top it up.

From the block deck surface to the "full" mark on the dipstick should be somewhere in the 10-7/8" to 11" range. I've compared dipsticks from several manufacturers, including genuine GM parts and several aftermarket pieces and they all fall in that range, with 10-7/8" being the most common measurement.

SOURCE: location of oil dipstick

The oil dipstick is located at the back of the engine.  If you look at the engine from a top view it is located at about 11 o'clock.  It's black.

SOURCE: My 2008 Kia Sorento is

I assume that the vehicle has a rotating knob on the left side of the dash for four wheel drive. It may have been put into 4 low by mistake. To get it out, start the vehicle and put it in drive, select 4 low on the 4 wheel drive selector, take your foot off the brake and get the vehicle rolling at a walking pace (1-2 m.p.h.) then move the selector to 4 high, stop the vehicle and move selector to 2 high.

SOURCE: just changed oil in kia

Hi there,

DANGER....this is telling you there is NOT enough oil pressure. The clatter you hear means inadequate oil is reaching the cams or lifters.

Can you confirm you have used the correct grade & viscosity of oil? Is oil leaking?

Please re-check the oil level again - allow vehicle to sit for 5mins, then check oil level on the ENGINE dipstick. If dipstick level is up to the full mark, then assume you have enough oil and let the engine idle for 5mins.

If the clatter remains, then suspect a problem with the oil pump, or oil filter causing a blockage.


Cheers,

How to tell if a fuse in 2003 Kia Sorento is good

None of those would be fixed by replacing the battery. Or did you replace the battery and then all of those stopped working?

You can tell of blade fuses are blown if you full them and hold them up to the light. That is a whole lot of stuff not working. I would say you need a good auto-electrician.

Where is the engine oil drain plug? fill in too much oil. what happen? Kia Sorento 2003 petrol.

The plug is on the bottom of the engine, in the oil pan. Usually a 15 mm wrench will take it off. Over filling can cause it to smoke and other problems over time. If your a quart or two over , yes you need to drain it. If it is about an 1/8" or less over on the dipstick, I wouldn't worry about it

What type of oil should i use for my 2005 kia sorento lx

the answer lies within your owners manual, do you have one? it will describe the grade and capacity of oil required-should be 5w30 4.5l pending on which engine. 2.0l engine=4.0l best bet is to start off with 3.5l of oil and check oil level on dipstick and top off accordingly.
