#2 of 41 oil filter cover by redptc Nov 02, 2006 (12:30 pm)
Anyone think it may be a good idea to remove part of the engine cover that goes over the oil filter cover?I was wondering how many oil changes it would take before the cover bolts or threads are stripped out. Any ideas about this? Replies to this message: akolive (Nov 02, 2006 6:13 pm) redptc (Nov 02, 2006 6:39 pm) capecoralbill (Nov 28, 2006 3:50 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: redptc (Nov 02, 2006 12:30 pm) You have to remove the cover don't you? I haven't done an oil change myself but it appears that you have to remove the cover (shroud). The fasterners I suspect are superficial and won't effect anything if they did strip... Doubt it would be a problem. You can always talk to your service dept. if you have any questions. Just my 2 cents. Peter Replies to this message: redptc (Nov 02, 2006 6:39 pm) capecoralbill (Nov 28, 2006 3:50 am) boxwrench (Nov 28, 2006 5:53 am) boxwrench (Nov 28, 2006 6:04 am)

Replying to: akolive (Nov 02, 2006 6:13 pm) No reason to have the cover loose if the bolts get stripped.Must have put the cover on for some reason,(good looks or a heat shield). What do you think?

Replying to: redptc (Nov 02, 2006 6:39 pm) I removed mine, I doubt it will affect anything, may even help to cool engine a bit. Anybody have the link to the official Kia parts page? Thanks Replies to this message: boxwrench (Nov 28, 2006 5:53 am) boxwrench (Nov 28, 2006 6:04 am)

Replying to: capecoralbill (Nov 28, 2006 3:50 am) Capecoralbill, Here are a couple websites that are very helpful for Kia Information & parts. You may have to first register to gain access. It's no cost & has everything you need to know about your particular Kia Vehicle. Other links are also available on the Tech Info site. Boxwrench

Replying to: claires (Nov 30, 2006 12:13 am) Has anyone changed oil in their 06? The user manual didn't have instructions. If you have, please send me instructions. Thanks in advance. Peter Replies to this message: akolive2 (Jan 15, 2007 7:11 pm)

Replying to: akolive (Jan 06, 2007 10:06 am) Well, changed my oil last weekend and it was fairly easy. The oil pan bolt was quit a reach from the front. The filter sits in a canister on top of the engine and has no shroud around it so when a person pulls it out of the canister, it can be messy since the oil just pours out of it freely. Otherwise, the rest of the procedure is the same as any other vehicle. The only issue I have is the removal of the aluminum compression ring around the oil pan bolt. It was not obvious how to remove the old one, so I didn't this time. Anyone know how? Peter
#10 of 41 30,000 mile maintenance cost by jacktb Feb 05, 2007 (7:04 am)

Replying to: jacktb (Feb 05, 2007 7:04 am) Edmunds or Motor Trend came back with a cost of ~$220 on an actual 30K visit. I think it included (from memory) an oil change, tire rotation, replacement air filter, brake adjustment, etc. Replies to this message: bluedevils (Feb 07, 2007 1:39 pm)
