On a 2007 Kia Sorento with a 3.8-liter engine, the spark plugs are located under the engine cover, which you will need to remove first. Once the cover is off, the spark plugs can be found on the top of the engine, near the intake manifold, and are accessed by removing the ignition coil assemblies. Each spark plug is situated in a cylinder head, with one spark plug per cylinder.

To remove the engine cover on a 2007 Suzuki XL7, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Locate the bolts or screws securing the cover, typically found around the perimeter. Use a socket wrench or screwdriver to remove these fasteners, then gently lift the cover off the engine. Be cautious of any clips or connectors that may also be attached to the cover.
Remove oil filler tube cap....then Wiggle and pull straight up.
On a 2007 Kia Sorento LX, the coolant temperature sensor is typically located near the thermostat housing, on the engine block. It is usually positioned on the driver's side of the engine, near the cooling system hoses. To access it, you may need to remove some engine covers or components for better visibility. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for specific details and diagrams.
If it is like a 2004 Sorento 3.5 engine, you will have to remove a plastic cover bolted under the engine (5 bolts -12mm wrench), very easy to do, then you will see the oil filter on the engine's driver side toward the front of the engine, I do not do this when the engine is real hot as the filter is a bit awkward to get to. Hope this helps. I have a 2007 Sorento and just changed the oil and filter. The plastic cover under the engine is the same as far as getting to the drain plug on the oil pan. However, the oil filter is located under the hood. It is at the rear center of the engine, next to the firewall. There is a black canister about 4" in diameter that has a screw cap cover. It's a little tricky to get the cover off the canister due to lack of room. You may have to remove the plastic cover that is mounted over the top of the engine to get it out. Once you do, the filter is nothing more than a paper cylinder that pulls out of the canister and the new one is popped back in place. Be sure the canister cover is screwed back on flush with the canister or it will leak. Nice idea from Kia.... I have a 2003 Sorento, the 2004 info above applies. FYI - used a 17mm wrench to remove drain plug. As for filter, note that KIA filter casing is wider (approx 3mm) than non KIA (FRAM) filter - does not matter as thread is the same. Since i had purchased a filter (cap) socket wrench for the replacement (FRAM), I was not able to use it to remove the KIA brand filter. Strap wrench barely worked. Getting the old filter out, well lets say that it went on quite a journey, the newer (narrower one) was easier to get in.
It is located under the grey engine cover on top of the engine. I have yet to figure out to remove it. VW ensures it is hard to remove, to protect the dealers...
