Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid has its oil changed?An oil filter service replaces the filter alongside the oil, while the timing of maintenance is determined by the manufacturer's schedule and the vehicle's service history.

Replacing the filter with the oil gives fresh oil a clean filter for collecting debris. A loaded filter can open its bypass valve and allow unfiltered oil to circulate. Review the maintenance schedule and service history when deciding when to book.

  • Filter replaced with the oil service
  • Filter seal checked after the engine runs
  • Service timing guided by maintenance requirements
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid?The service includes an engine-matched filter, a new drain plug gasket or washer where applicable, and a leak check after the engine runs.

The filter is selected for the engine fitted to this Kia. The sealing surfaces are renewed as required, then the engine is run so the filter seal can be checked for leaks. You can schedule service at Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington.

  • Filter matched to the engine's specification
  • New applicable drain plug gasket or washer
  • Post-service inspection for leaks at the filter seal
What happens if the oil filter on a 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid is not replaced?A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without being filtered.

The engine can still receive oil, but it may no longer receive oil that is being filtered. The filter holds debris carried by the oil, so extending a loaded filter across another change reduces that protection. An oil and filter service restores a clean filtering element.

  • Debris remains part of the filter's workload
  • The bypass valve can open when the filter loads
  • Unfiltered oil may circulate through the engine
Does a 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter is matched to the 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

Vehicle model alone is not enough to select a filter. The filter must match the engine actually fitted to the 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid. Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington can fit the appropriate engine-matched filter without relying on a filter intended for another engine.

  • Engine displacement: 1.6 liters
  • Engine configuration: four-cylinder
  • Filter selection matched to the fitted engine
Can the oil be changed on a 2025 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid without changing the filter?Oil can be changed separately, but an oil and filter service replaces the filter so fresh oil is not paired with a loaded filtering element.

The filter captures debris carried by engine oil and may open its bypass valve when loaded. Whether service is due should be considered with the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and the vehicle's service history. Ask the service team to perform the oil and filter service together.

  • Filter captures debris carried by the oil
  • Loaded filters can permit unfiltered circulation
  • Service history helps determine the maintenance decision
