Where is the air filter located and How to remove it on Kia Sorento?

The air filter is located inside a housing at the side of the engine compartment. To remove the air filter, release the clamps retaining the two halves of the air filter housing and disconnect the wiring from the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor in order to get enough clearance to raise the lid. Lift the cover up and remove the air filter element. Never drive the vehicle with the air filter removed as excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element. If it is dirty, replace it. If it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front surface with compressed air. Because it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled. If it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with compressed air, discard and replace it. Installation is the reverse of removal. Make sure the hinge tabs on the housing cover engage properly with the lower part of the housing.

Kia Sorento Air Filter

The Kia Sorento Air Filter protects the engine from dirt and debris and keeps the engine airways open for constant airflow to the engine for power and fuel economy. By catching dust, sand, leaves, and exhaust particles before they reach the intake, the Air Filter ensures proper wear and good support for clean combustion, but over time, buildup in the filter restricts the flow and the Air Filter needs to be replaced. Many modern Sorento models use fuel injection with a flat panel Air Filter inside a sealed air box, which is connected to the throttle body, and the duct should remain intact to prevent unfiltered air from entering. Earlier Sorento versions with carburetors had a round Air Filter mounted on top of the carburetor under a lid that is secured by a wing nut; this is how the shape of the filter follows the shape of the engine. Whether round or flat, each Kia Air Filter is based on pleated paper media that combines good filtration with a low price. Replacing a Kia filter involves unclipping the box or taking off the wing nut, so it is a quick do-it-yourself job on a Sorento. Timely swaps allow Kia engines to draw the tens of thousands of gallons of air needed for every tank of fuel without swallowing grit.

If you're in search of top-notch, reasonably priced OEM Kia Sorento Air Filter, then you've found the perfect spot. Our website boasts an extensive inventory of Kia Sorento Air Filter, all priced at the market's premier price. Rest assured, every genuine part we offer comes with a warranty straight from the manufacturer.

Q: Where is the air filter located and How to remove it on Kia Sorento?
A:
The air filter is located inside a housing at the side of the engine compartment. To remove the air filter, release the clamps retaining the two halves of the air filter housing and disconnect the wiring from the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor in order to get enough clearance to raise the lid. Lift the cover up and remove the air filter element. Never drive the vehicle with the air filter removed as excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element. If it is dirty, replace it. If it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front surface with compressed air. Because it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled. If it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with compressed air, discard and replace it. Installation is the reverse of removal. Make sure the hinge tabs on the housing cover engage properly with the lower part of the housing.
