Too vague? You want to know "how"? It's generally the safe for most vehicles. You want to get the car on a lift, and not use jack stands....as the old oil will "pool" and not completely drain out.
But there's a drain plug under the front of the car that you unscrew, make sure you got a pan underneath to catch it....
Let it drain, then add some oil first, to let the "new" oil drain out the rest of the old stuff, incase it didn't all come out. Then tighten the drain plug underneath and proceed to add your 3.5-4 qts of oil.
I know it's extremely vague, you might check wikihow.com - they got a good howto there

The starter on a 2002 Kia Rio is locared on the back side of the engine under the intake manifold. Just about the only way to even see it is from underneath. It is fairly small. (About the size of a can of soup) It has two wires going to it. A large battery wire and a smaller connector to engage the starter. Disconnect you battery ground wire before doing anything with the starter.

Raise the front of your Kia off the ground with a jack. Make sure it is high enough to work under, then position a set of jack stands under the front suspension to support the car

How do you replace a tail light bulb on a 1997 Honda Passport?
You will see some screws around the light cover and you will need a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws. Take the cover off. Unscrew the old bulb (if you do this at a parts store like Auto Zone you can have them help you or take the bulb in to see which one you need to replace it or look in their manual in the store to see what bulb size you need). Screw in the new lightbulb. Put the screws back in. Seriously, you needed to know how to do this? Seriously.

How do I fix my broken heater fan switch that's in the car on my 2004 Kia Rio?
I had the same problem. Mine was loose, If you can push on it to make it work then yours is loose too. Remove the cluster with all the cables and wiring harnesses. Take
a close look at it from behind and push on it and you will see where it is loose. Take
a clamp like a C clamp and clamp it tight and mix up some epoxy and cement that sucker from coming loose. If yours doesn't seem to have this exact problem then order just the fan switch from Kia. You don't have to buy the whole cluster from what a friend of mine told me. The part isn't to bad, I think it was under 25 bucks.
How many miles per tank of gas does a 2003 Kia rio get?
I have had my Kia Rio for two years. My average city driving gets about 30 mpg and highway about 38-39 mpg. I don't have cruise control so if I installed it my mileage would be even better. If you get less than 26 mpg inside the city, you probably need a new air filter. My kia loves to have a brand new filter at least once a year. And like most cars, change your oil every 3000-5000 miles, and before and after long road trips.

How do you replace CV joint boot kit on a Kia Sephia?
Remove the wheel. Using a punch, tap out the dented nut locking ring. Remove the axle nut. Remove the cotter pin and nut on the steering rod and pop the steering rod off using a suitable puller or try tapping on the nut (not the threads). Remove the two ball joint nuts and bolts (17MM) Pull the assembly off the half shaft and tie it off to the side. Give a good hard yank on the old shaft to pull it out of the tranny. Install the new half-shaft in reverse order.
Probably the alternator. If the engine turns over when you try to start it I suspect a broken timing belt.
