Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2022 Kia Sorento has its oil changed?Yes, the 2022 Kia Sorento's oil filter is replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule.

The published schedule for this model year calls for oil filter replacement every 6,000 miles. Replacing both together gives the new oil a clean filter rather than sending it through a filter already loaded with debris.

  • Filter replacement is paired with the oil service.
  • The filter captures debris carried by engine oil.
  • A leak check follows the service.
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2022 Kia Sorento?The service includes a filter matched to the engine, a new drain plug gasket or washer where applicable, and a leak check after the engine runs.

The filter is matched to the engine's specification rather than selected as a universal component. After installation, the engine is run and the filter seal is checked for leaks. The service is performed alongside the oil.

  • Engine-matched oil filter
  • Drain plug gasket or washer where used
  • Post-service filter seal inspection
What happens if the oil filter on a 2022 Kia Sorento is not replaced?A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without being filtered.

The engine does not necessarily stop receiving oil when this happens; it can receive oil that no longer has normal filtration. Debris may then continue circulating. Replacing the filter with the oil avoids stretching one loaded filter across two changes.

  • The filter retains operating debris.
  • The bypass valve opens when the filter loads.
  • Unfiltered oil can circulate quietly.
Does a 2022 Kia Sorento need a specific oil filter?Yes, its filter is matched to the 2.5-liter, 2,497 cc inline-four engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

The correct filter depends on the engine fitted to the vehicle. Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington can match the filter to this engine during service without relying on a universal fit. This approach helps ensure the filter is appropriate for the 2022 Kia Sorento.

  • Engine displacement is 2.5 liters.
  • Engine displacement is 2,497 cc.
  • The engine layout is inline-four.
Can the oil be changed on a 2022 Kia Sorento without changing the filter?The oil can be changed separately, but the manufacturer's schedule calls for replacing the filter every 6,000 miles.

Keeping the filter in place across oil changes allows captured debris to accumulate. Once the filter loads, its bypass valve can allow unfiltered oil to circulate. The vehicle's maintenance schedule and service history help determine the appropriate service timing.

  • Filter replacement is scheduled every 6,000 miles.
  • The filter holds debris from the oil.
  • New oil benefits from a clean filter.
