In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly how to replace your secondary engine air filter in your 2015-2018 Kia K900 with a V8 equipped engine.

• What does my engine air filter do exactly?

Just like us, an engine needs to breathe clean air for best performance. Ever been running and have a bug fly into your mouth? Yeah, me too unfortunately. I wish I would have had something to block it. Good news for your engine, it does! Your engine air filter helps keep out things like bugs, dust, debris and anything else that could possibly attempt to enter your air cleaner/filter housing. The cleaner the air, the better the performance.

• When should I replace my engine air filter?

Almost everything mechanical has a scheduled maintenance routine. Kind of like us going to the doctor for an annual checkup. Once a year we should go to see our local doctor/healthcare provider to see how everything is going. Same goes for our vehicles. You should replace your engine air filter about once per year or as needed based of your scheduled maintenance as outlined in your owners manual. Simple things like your engine air filter can help keep your vehicle performing at its best and keep your MPG’s up. A dirty filter can cause lack in performance and if bad enough, cause your MPG’s to not be as optimal as they could be.

• Do I have to buy an OEM part?

Simple answer is no but not all parts are created equal. Look, it’s your vehicle and your money so whatever you deem “good enough” is on you. Over my years as a technician I have seen some interesting stuff but OEM parts were built and designed by some pretty smart people to fit and perform in your vehicle. Sure, you can find an aftermarket part for less money and some parts may be slightly “improved” but to stay inline with your scheduled maintenance and warranty, you almost can’t go wrong with an OEM part. 

• What’s the part number?

For the 2015-2018 Kia K900 with a V8 engine, the part number is: 28113-3M500 (part number used in this video and link below)

I know we just met and trusting people is hard, so if you want to be certain, call your local dealership and give them your VIN number and ask for the correct part number (you might as well buy it at this point).
