Where is the oil filter element located on the Kia K3?
1 Answers
The oil filter element of the Kia K3 is located inside the fuel tank and assembled together with the fuel pump. To access it, you need to open the fuel tank cap, disassemble the fuel pump assembly, replace the fuel filter, and then reassemble it with the fuel pump. Alternatively, you can replace the entire assembly including the fuel pump. The oil filter element, also known as the oil filter, functions to remove debris, gum, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. More details are as follows: 1. Most vehicles are equipped with spin-on oil filter elements, which are disposable and not cleanable. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the oil filter element when changing the engine oil. Failing to do so may affect the quality of the lubricating oil. Generally, it is advisable to replace the oil filter every 5,000 kilometers. 2. To reduce friction resistance between moving parts in the engine and minimize component wear, engine oil is continuously delivered to the friction surfaces of moving parts, forming a lubricating oil film for lubrication. 3. There are many types of oil filter elements, including those for screw-type air compressors, as well as models like WK962/7 and WK940/20. Different vehicle models require different oil filter elements, and even a slight mismatch can prevent proper installation.
