The recommended viscosity of oil of your car, as per Kia documentation that is 10W If you operate your vehicle in frigid weather, that is, temperatures lower than freezing, you may use 5W oil. However, even 10W is fine to use when temperatures outside are lower than freezing. Volkswagen suggests users to use approved oils that meets the VW quality standard for oil for their engine.

Once the oil is safely out of the way i. Make sure there's still some newspaper under the car as there will be drips, and more spilt oil later. My car was a bit awkward, I've got five nuts four with the same heads, one a replacement and one long bolt on my car.
I've been advised this is because a previous owner has lost a stud and I need to replace this, which I'll do on the next oil change thanks Chris. The current bolt is quite smooth and takes an allen key head, which I didn't have. Fortunately it had a hole through the side of the head through which I ended up sticking a small nail, then used a small adjustable spanner to get it loose.
Lots of swearing was involved in this process so before you start something similar make sure you know whether you have one of these things and that you've got the right tool for the job, or that it doesn't matter how blue the air gets. OK, easy and annoying bolts undone, the filter plate is still stuck to the car. You need to pull it down off the car, best done by sticking things in the hole in the middle and levering it down. I used a flat-head screwdriver, then some mole grips on the edge of the hole when it came down a little bit.
When it eventually comes loose you will get oil over yourself and the ground. When the plate comes loose, it might bring the old filter with it. If not, you should be able to pull it out of the big hole the plate has revealed. If there's definitely no filter in there, curse the previous owner of the car and think about getting a voodoo doll made of them, it will distract you from crying that your engine might have been damaged by contaminated oil not getting filtered.
Use the screwdriver to scrape any old seals off of the car once the filter is out, then also scrape any residual seals off the filter plate.
Be careful not to scratch the case with the screwdriver when you're cleaning it, as that gives a way for the oil to escape. Give the plate a general clean-up and open up your new seal kit. There should be two cork or cardboard seals gaskets which fit either side of the flange around the base of the filter i. Within the seal pack there is also a new washer for each of the bolts, so clean the bolts up and give them all a washer ready for when you put it all together. Note: a friend in the same VW club as me uses the original VW gaskets either side of the filter.
He says he finds he doesn't get any leaks with them and just cleans them every time he does an oil change. If this is your first time doing an oil change, it's probably worth getting the fitting kit even if you don't use the gaskets, just in case you do need them. Putting everything back together is a bit fiddly. I think in the end my successful way was to put the long bolt the one I've got with the funny head through the metal plate, seal, filter, and final seal, then faff about under the car trying to keep it all lined up while I slot the bolt up in to it's hole and get the other five bolt heads through their holes at the same time.
This is one of those fiddly jobs that's just annoying as the seals are large enough to push the plate away from the bolts while you're trying to get it on to them. Once you finally have a couple of nuts over the bolt heads, it soon becomes a matter of putting them all on loosely, then gradually tightening them up.
Don't tighten one all the way, go around them gradually tightening them all up, it helps keep the seals doing their job. For other bits of the car you're advised to do one bolt, then it's opposite, then another bolt and it's opposite until they're all done and start again, so I did that with the plate. It takes a bit of time, but if it keeps the seal good it's all worth it.
I was worried about over-tightening one of the bolts and potentially stripping the thread damaging the thread on the bolt or nut - this can be very awkward to fix, especially if the part that gets damaged is attached to the car and involves removing lots of things to replace it. Eventually I got all the bolts as tight as I felt they could go and left it at that. All of them are equipped with a five-speed gearbox. Optionally available with a 4-speed automatic.
