Come along with me in this video as I fix the oil leak that developed on Mrs.O's 2019 Kia Sedona with the big 3.3. Ended up being an easy fix and it wasn't the classic Kia oil pressure switch either.
-Enjoy!

You forgot transgender and drag queens
Kia extended the new vehicle warranty for Kia Sorentos MY 2014-2018 with the 3.3 V6 from 5 years -10 years (or 150 000 miles) whatever comes first, to address the oil pressure switch leak. I don’t know if the warranty applies to the Sedona minivan but it should if it’s a common issue
Hey Mr.O did you make Mts.O mount her own snow tires again this year?
I work at a Hyundai dealer and I remember for a little bit we couldn’t get rear wiper blades for konas for a good while
No more raccoons, red deer or icebergs for a '23 resolution. Nice fix and bon voyage for the rest of the new year.
A Deer, & a raccoon? 🤔 From a front end grill type kill, to the barbecue type grill?😳
P.S. No (Ivan) type “bonus footage” stating that the leak has been fixed?😳😀😳
Eric love this channel. I had a question on Mrs. O's Sedona. Have you had any issues with the front wheel studs snapping off? I'm on my fourth stud on my wife 2017 Sedona in last three years. When I do her brakes I take the wheels off and on with hand tools. I also torque the lugs by hand to the mid rang of 75 lb-ft. The only thing I can think off is that the tire shop is over torquing the lungs when the wife takes it to the tire shop for snow tire merry go round we play once a year in upstate NY. I'm on my 2nd shop. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Better than the warranty Eric👍
I’m curious, are Jasper engines hit or miss in your area? The ones we’re getting in Memphis show up ticking, knocking, or burning coolant right out of the box.
what was the final customers Bill? LOL , another good video!!
Why did a mechanic by a kia. Just wondering if you think they are good
Eric, as an Upstater myself, you are just as cynical as I am with the BS. I am still hearing about supply chain issues at work.
I watch these car shows with lifts and it reminds me of what I hated the most about working on my cars….
Working on my back underneath them….
In the cold….
In all my 50 years of having to do my own car work, everything under a car, was me on my back….
I wish I could have been on my feet….
I watched this video and 3 days later I have the same leak. Coincidence? I think not. Eric is giving people the money light over the inter-web.
Howdy Mr O. I see Mrs O has a 19 Sedona with the 6. My daughter bought a 19 Sorento AWD with the 6. She’s been having problems with transmission and driving software. Two Kia dealers have been unable to duplicate the problem. Poor drivability, most efficient in “ sport” mode, reduced mpg. One had it and returned it with only 2 miles difference from drop-off to return. Too little to diagnose properly from my perspective. Have you encountered software issues?
Unbelievable plastic oil filter housing , Could they get any cheaper on these engines, Kia and Hyundai no good, Id never get one.
I’m old enough to remember when KIA stood for “Killed In Action”.
When mrs o says do it, Eric says yes ma’am immediately but you do know that I charge $150 per hour, mrs o doesn’t say anything she just gives that look only wives can give, mr o slinks away chastised, great post Eric
I see that Mr O watches Project Farm too…
What happened to the car's warranty?
Didn't actually catch if you reused the original gasket or used some RTV gasket maker? The original looked good so I guess you just needed to tighten her up!
Yes most of us know what's up with all the shit going on these days ,don't think it will end soon hopefully 2 years
Worst vehicle we ever owned. 2005 Sedona. Ended up in the junkyard at 50,000 km with blown motor. Had literally EVERYTHING go wrong over the two years we owned it.
The problem is the gasket gets hard due to heat cycling. The plastic flexes each time you change the filter and eventually the gasket is too hard and can't seal properly. Maybe a light application of RTV on the gasket would help.
if you need OEM Kia/Hyundai parts like this, and can't get them from the normal sources, i would recommend Albert Hwang of Gangnam parts out of South Korea. He was actually faster than my local Hyundai dealer… and for much less. Parts were at my door in 3-4 days from South Korea.
I still do trust the arm lock torque, it just feels "righter" when tightened that way anyway!
Hey Eric, no hating on the Jiffy lube chaps..
The oil filter is under the car? My 2018 Sedona’s filter is right on top under the cover. 3.3l V6. Hmmm.
All that loving husband talk for “I’ll do it next week!”
It’s cute how he things the factory torques bolts to the manual spec.
Try working on a Subaru where bolts with a Alec around 20ftlb are all around 100.
I was the first to remove the oil plug in my Legacy and it took a 1/2” drive impact driver to get the bolt out.
KIA? Mrs. O needs a Lamborghini!!
Mrs O is a lucky lady to have her Knight in Greasy armour. Lol 😁
my gf's dad has a 2017 Kia Sorento with that same engine. And it randomly one day just started leaking oil sooo bad. It was pouring out between the engine and transmission. It was leaking so bad that it would leave a trail behind.
LOL ….35 fig newtons, mother of Perl…..
Does anyone know if he ever said why he chose the Kia besides low cost and availability? The Odyssey or Pilot would have been great. Or even a RAV or Highlander to haul the kids and their gear.
The whole coin shortage is bullcrahp. Indoctrination into digital everything and only digital.
That oil filter housing, plastic – another example of why not to buy a late model vehicle.
I do believe that part was made by Briggs and Stratton.
Thx SMAR for an informative and entertaining video, it's reaasuring to me to see what I consider a master auto tech and small bussiness owner invest in a similar brand vehicle as I have. We've put over 100k miles on our Optima and it has been relatively trouble free and inexpensive for parts. I will say that in our experience Hyundai Kia have stokd behind their product as our Theta 2 engine failed catastrophically @ 97k mikes and was replaced without cost of towing or rental car. I also have a '15 GMC Sierra SLT 3500 dbl cab D'Max Allison DRW that has 75k miles with some repairs that GM decided weren't covered under warranty such as the Boshe CP4 faulty designed HPFP which RAM has covered with a recall in late MY trucks avoiding the potential $12k expense to replace the entire contaminated fuel system charged to it's customers when a known defective part fails. I'm a 2nd gen GM customer but sadly IMHO not the company it was in the past and has forgot that treating customers fairly will bring them back for future business. YMMY
Eric…what is your opinion on oil brands? As a 27 year veteran mechanic. I remember watching a test where they put 5 different brands of oil in a pan on a burner and penzoil was the first to burn up followed by Castrol. I do remember valvoline never burnt at all. My dad a 60 year mechanic watched this test with me and he told me that he never uses penzoil not even in a lawn mower. From then on I have only used valvoline or Mobil 1. My dad and I did some testing of our own and sure enough penzoil was the first to burn up. I'm sure if a person does the regular oil changes and doesn't drive the crap out of their vehicles penzoil probaly would be fine. Of course these days most cars use synthetic oil anyway. I was just curious on anyone's thoughts on different brands. I personally refuse to use penzoil and probaly always will. Any other mechanics feel the same?
How can I DM you, got questions re errant codes on my 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK with the big 3.0.?
What on earth motivated you to buy a Kia?
Everything is plastic these days. Things warp and it is often not noticeable.
geeze, these days I wouldn't try to offer an alternative – I used to have brand loyalty but that went out the window sometime back – bur really Eric, a Kia for Mrs. O?
It's the shoemaker's children who go barefoot …
And it's the mechanic's wife whose van leaks oil.
What kind of oil filter housing is that? Looks too cheap to me. Glad my 2019 highlander oil change is easy.
The powerstop brakes are always great in my experience, always order them off rockauto pretty cheap all in
What ugga dugga calibration tool do you use?
Saw Mrs O was doing donuts in a parking lot with her Kia just before the repair was made.
What brand of brakes are on Mrs. O's van?
