This information can be found in the owner's manual of your Kia Spectra. It is important to use the correct amount of oil, as too much or too little oil can damage your engine.
Here is a step-by-step guide to changing the oil in a Kia Spectra 2.0 engine:
1. Gather the necessary materials:
* New oil filter (check owner's manual for size)
* New oil (check owner's manual for type and amount)
* Oil drain pan
* Funnel
* Wrench
* Rags
2. Prepare your car:
* Park your car on a level surface.
* Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.
* Engage the parking brake.
* Raise the hood of your car.
3. Locate the oil drain plug:
* The oil drain plug is usually located on the bottom of the oil pan.
* It is typically a 17mm bolt.
4. Place the oil drain pan under the oil drain plug:
* Make sure the oil drain pan is large enough to catch all of the oil that will drain out.
5. Loosen the oil drain plug:
* Use the wrench to loosen the oil drain plug.
* Be careful not to drop the bolt into the oil pan.
6. Allow the oil to drain:
* Allow all of the oil to drain out of the oil pan.
* This may take a few minutes.
7. Replace the oil drain plug:
* Once all of the oil has drained out, replace the oil drain plug.
* Tighten the oil drain plug snugly.
8. Locate the oil filter:
* The oil filter is usually located near the top of the engine.
* It is a cylindrical-shaped object with a black cap.
9. Remove the oil filter:
* Use the wrench to loosen the oil filter.
* Be careful not to spill any oil.
10. Apply a thin coat of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter:
* This will help to create a seal and prevent leaks.
11. Screw on the new oil filter:
* Hand-tighten the new oil filter until it is snug.
* Do not over-tighten the oil filter.
12. Add new oil to the engine:
* Use the funnel to add new oil to the engine.
* Add the amount of oil specified in the owner's manual.
13. Check the oil level:
* Use the dipstick to check the oil level.
* The oil level should be between the "full" and "add" marks on the dipstick.
14. Lower the hood:
* Once the oil level is correct, lower the hood of your car.
