The oil filter is located at the bottom of the engine. It can be remove with an oil filter wrench. Do not remove the engine top cover unless you need to repair something very major.

Where is the oil filter and drain plug in a 2006 Kia Sorento?

The drain plug is located somewhere on the bottom of the engine. Usually on the rear or side of the oil pan. Filter is screwed on to the engine block. No offense, but if you cannot find the drain plug & filter, you have no business trying to change your own oil. AT LEAST YOUR TRYING, FILTER AND PLUG WILL BE VISIBLE ONCE YOU REMOVE PLASTIC COVER UNDER VEHICLE. IT HAS 5 BOLTS AND IS IN FRONT OF ENGINE CROSSMEMBER. FILTER IS UP FRONT ON LEFT HAND SIDE COMING STRAIGHT DOWN FROM ENGINE.

Where is the oil filter on a 2007 Kia Sorento?

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.
