As the title mentioned my grandson got himself a used 2023 telluride around 36 k miles on it about 6 months ago and he has add and a mild case of asperger's syndrome is always putting things off and I did his other oil changes on his Nissan for him and to make a long story short I am making the run to the kia dealership this morning to get a couple of oil filters ( I always buy the OEM filters for whatever vehicle I am working on) and also KIA sometimes get a small oil leak from after market O rings that seem to be a bit thinner on the aftermarket rings...The local dealerships gave his mother a big speal on if he takes it anywhere else it would invalidate his warranty, but I told her  they cant do that as long as you do everything right and save the receipts,,and also he has already ran it to he mileage limit of 7500 miles they were telling him 3500 but the manual says 7500 so anyways,anyways I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and everyone complains about the oil housings and batteries on our journeys, well KIA out the plastic oil housing  under the front end along side of the engine and you have to remove 6 10 mm bolts out of the plastic skid plate and then the filter canister is bolted to the side of the engine with the cap facing towards   the ground ,,,they use about the similar  kind plastic oil housing  like dodge does....oh well thought I'd throw that out there for the ones that don't like our battery placement but at least dodge did right about the oil filter location B U T I do have to say IF the oil filter housing does have to be replaced it wont be a hard job to do about .4 bolts holds it on and would probably remove the wheel and plastic wheel liner and it is a straight shot for replacement...OH well off to the dealership for the filters right now
