2020 KИ Rio Hatchback 1.6 Litre MPI - 11,000(+/-) mi. My brother's car; I changed his oil with Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 & Fram Ultra cartridge filter. Approx. 5,000 mi. on old oil. While the filter is not hard to change, it can be a PITA because the filter is determined to saturate your hand/arm in oil. A pleasant oil change otherwise.

...And now for my car: 2016 KИ Forte 1.8 Litre MPI. 59,XXX mi. - 5,006 mi. on old oil.
OUT: Napa Full Synthetic 5W30 & Napa Gold 1334 filter.
IN: Castrol Edge Euro Car 5W40 A3/B4 API SP & MicroGard MGL 51334 filter (installed - not pictured).
Wait... "Euro Car" oil for a car made in South Korea??That's right - FIGHT ME.
Honestly, I love how simple an oil change is on my car - no fuss. Yes, my car is filthy from a round trip halfway across the country, but the inside of it's Heart is clean.

Not sure if you're aware that there's a plug at the bottom of the oil filter cartridge to drain oil out before removing the housing so less mess . Removal starts at 1:09 into the video . This also applies to the HYUNDAI Venue ( '20 > '24 ) and Accent ( '20 > '22 for U.S. )
