Kia Sorento

The 2007 Kia Sorento has a 5-speed shiftable automatic.

Hello,

I got a Kia Sorento 2003 and it holds 80 liters this is about 21 gallons.

well it depends on the model of Kia, sideways or rear wheel drive, but generally TPS sensor is mounted on the throttle dody , some on the top , most on the side.

On my 02 Sedona. It is mounted on the back side of the throtle body. Mine went bad and I had to replace the complete throtle body unit. They do not sell only the sensor and it is a dealer only part but it is easy to install yourself if you are mechanicaly inclinded.

The 2015 Kia Sorento has a 2.4 L base engine size.

in front of driver the order is 2-4-6.in the passenger side the order is 1-3-6. 1-2-3-4-5-6.left to right.

open hood and remove the three bolts holding the headlight assembly. Pull assembly forward and unscrew the cap at the back of the assembly. Remove the plug and open the clamp. replace bulb, clamp and wires. Put back together.

The second storage unit below the stereo should open to be an ashtray and durrie lighter

The 2012 Kia Sorento has a 6-speed manual.

The maximum tosing capacity of the 2003 Kia Sorento is 3500 lbs..

the reason they probably did this is because they wanted to be sure that the tires would not start wearing unevenly, it's always a good thing to keep your alignment in check. Tires Plus employee

Recommended is Apolloil red oil form Idemitsu company Japan. Tech bulletin from KIA also mentioned a substitute is Nissan Nismo J ATF oil. Mitsubishi ATF SP3 is also widely used.So far no complaints.ATF oil has so many grades and quality,so the cheaper ones with less quality will be less smoother vice versa. For KIA 5 speed transmission better use good grade oil.So SP3 I would say is okay but shorter oil change periods.

There are 3 screws per headlight. remove these three screws, and GENTLY pull the ENTIRE light assembly housing out of the vehicle. Then simply give your blown out light bulb a 1/2 turn and out it comes. CAUTION!! when replacing the bulb with a new Halogen Bulb, DO NOT touch the actual bulb as natual skin oils may cause the bulb to burst / pop and you are back to square one with a blownout headlight.

Trouble code P0446 means:Evaporative emission control system vent control circuit malfunction

35 to 37 psi ..... 7 pounds under max PSI. Because Max is 44 tire pressure. Remember the hotter the tire the higher the pressure. A good range is 7 under Max. So the tire can heat up to just under max.

Yes because semi-synthetic motor oil is a blended mixture generally 70% regular motor oil mixed with 30% full-synthetic oil therefore by adding or blending more full-synthetic oil into the mixture merely increases the percentage amount of full-synthetic oil within a pre-blended semi-synthetic brand.

However it should be noted a 2-year motor oil test done on 75 New York taxi cabs in 1996 showed no significant nor any discernable differences whatsoever between using regular motor oil with a package of additives versus synthetic motor oil in terms of performance, sludge buildup, and wear and tear. It's a tie or in other words it looks to be more of a matter of financial capabilities whether a motorist can afford the overly expensive price of synthetic oil mostly for the peace of mind since apparently synthetic oil is practically no better and no worse than regular motor oil with additives

On the other hand if the original question also asked, "Which is better, synthetic or semi synthetic or regular motor oil whether with or without additives?" then the answers depends upon certain circumstances.

Synthetic motor oil is thinner than regular motor oil but withstands high and low temperatures better and therefore recommended for high performance racing engines or for use in very extreme hot and/or very extreme cold climates. Synthetic oil also takes longer to breakdown which translates into slightly longer periods between oil changes although still requires periodic oil changes. Full-synthetic oil is recommended for cold climate start-ups because its thinness makes it less sticky and less tacky between the moving metal parts of a cold engine which makes it easier for cold engines to turn-over compared to using regular motor oil which is a thicker oil. But synthetic oil is warned against using during a new engine's break-in period and also warned against using in engines prone to leakage because the thinness of the synthetic oil increases leakage particularly in older engines.

Semi-synthetic motor oil consists roughly one-third synthetic and two-thirds regular motor oil and said to offer many same exact advantages as full-synthetic but at around half the price or so.

Although regular motor oil with an additive may be cheaper it apparently works just as good as the more expensive synthetic oils and not worse nor better but essentially the same in regards to lubricating and protecting engines.

For most motorists, although synthetic motor oil is slightly better than regular motor oil it's probably not likely worth the overly expensive price tag unless you're into high performance racing or live in very extreme climate temperatures otherwise everything else about full-synthetic motor oil sounds to be pure hype or else we would've expected any noticeable degree and/or some kind of significant difference in at least one engine out of the 75 city cabs from a 2-year motor oil test instead of zero difference, wouldn't we?

The motor oil used in the Consumer Report 2-year motor oil test used a full package of additives but no tests were done using just plain motor oil without the additional additives, however, an oil expert strongly advises and warns against using any additives in article entitled "Motor Oil Myths and Facts", quote: "Do not use any oil additives no matter how much they are hyped on TV. They provide no benefit and can interfere and react with the additives already present in the oil. Some additives have particles that can clog oil passages and clog filters. Common additives that are heavily hyped are Slick 50, Duralube, and Prolong." Unquote.

As of 2009 in comparison to 30, 20, or 10 years ago, the quality now-a-days of standard plain motor oil usually already contains its own detergent additives and is improved to where it now appears there's no longer any appreciable difference in the performance or benefit between using either plain regular motor oil without additional packages of additives vs synthetic vs semi-synthetic as long as periodic oil changes are maintained as they all work equally the same and equally well at performing the functions they're designed to do. In other words as long as a shop mechanic performs reasonable periodic oil changes over the next 10 or more years then any car owner who believed their car had always been using expensive synthetic oils even though the mechanic had been using cheaper plain motor oil whether with or without additional additives, the owner would not be able to distinguish any difference upon mechanical inspection of the engine parts.

In conclusion and if money is of no concern then the only lazy advantage to using synthetics versus regular with additives appears to be the slightly longer periods between periodic maintenance oil-changes. I haven't researched any actual 10-year span statistics although I'm only guessing it could perhaps be something like a difference between maybe 3 synthetic oil-changes versus maybe 4 regular oil-changes per decade?

Check you owners manual, it will tell you how to reprogram them.

Right on the front of the engine, its connected to the lower of the two large black hoses. The hose will come up just to the left of the battery, from the bottom. Follow it up to the engine, there it is. 2 bolts, 12mm

I have a 2007 Kia sorento. Just bought a key fob. Everything I am finding on the net is saying this Get a jumper wire. Small wire, almost like an alligator clip with one end striped. Open the diagnostic port behind the battery. Locate terminal 6, which is the second one from the top in the first row of eight. (if you are looking at it the first row of eight is the one on the right) Put one end of your jumper in slot six and connect the other end to the positive of your battery Turn ignition to on. Do not star engine Hold down the lock button on fob for three seconds. Dash light should go off Disconnect wire Turn off ignition and try fob I'm trying this but with no luck Let me know if it works for you Good luck I have also changed the oil and trans fluid if you need help with that

The ground clearance of the 2014 Kia Sorento is 0 ft. 7.3 in. (7.3 in.).

The 2014 Kia Sorento has a 2.4 L base engine size.

The 3.8 liter engine available in the Kia Sorento from '07 to '09 was a Hyundai built unit, also called the Lambda. All aluminum, timing chain, DOHC, and impressive 262hp output. Hydraulic tensioners on the timing chain and oil leaks at multiple gaskets are issues.

The 2008 Kia Sorento has 42.6 in. of front leg room.

remove the big plastic skid plate and it's right there , the filters there but under a fuel line.
