Follow these steps carefully
Park the 2017-2024 Kia Sorento on level ground, set the parking brake, and shut the engine off. Open the hood and locate the engine air filter housing, usually a black plastic box connected to the intake snorkel. Informational DIY — EZ Car Fix is not a shop.
On the 2017-2024 Kia Sorento, release the metal clips, spring clamps, or screws securing the air-box lid. Lift the lid only as far as needed and keep fasteners organized so none fall into the engine bay.
Lift the old engine air filter out of the Kia Sorento housing. Inspect the element for dirt, leaves, oil, or water, then wipe or carefully vacuum the housing while keeping debris away from the intake opening.
Seat the new engine air filter in the 2017-2024 Kia Sorento housing with its rubber seal fully seated in the groove and its pleats oriented like the old filter. Check the entire perimeter for gaps before closing the lid.
Close the 2017-2024 Kia Sorento air-box lid evenly and refasten every clip or screw. Confirm the intake tube and sensor connections are snug, then start the engine and listen for an unusual induction whistle that could indicate a poor seal.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
