Know This Engine Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this engine family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right engine shows up:
- Verify the 8th digit of the 17-digit VIN is the number 5.
- Confirm whether the vehicle is Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD) to address oil pan compatibility.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Engine hoist or heavy-duty subframe table/lift
- Fuel line disconnect tools (for GDI high-pressure lines)
- OEM-compatible diagnostic scan tool (e.g., Kia KDS, Autel MaxiSys, or Snap-on Triton)
- Deep 24mm socket (for oil pressure switch)
Budget for these consumables at install:
- 6.5 to 6.9 quarts of 5W-30 full synthetic oil (API SN Plus or SP)
- New OEM oil filter
- Fresh Kia/Hyundai-approved phosphate-organic acid technology (P-OAT) coolant
- Exhaust manifold gaskets
- Intake manifold gaskets
- New spark plugs
- Thermostat and water pump (strongly recommended)
- Serpentine accessory drive belt
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Relearn (DTC P0315) and Transmission (TCM) Adaptive Value Reset
sources differ: Arm 1 states a dealer scan tool is required for CKP sensor variation learning and TCM adaptive value reset (8-speed transmission). Arm 2 states no programming is required if reusing the original ECU, suggesting a simple battery disconnect reset. Cautious value 'yes' selected; confirm with us and use a scan tool to perform necessary relearns.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Oil Pan for FWD vs. AWD: The oil pans differ to accommodate the transfer case on AWD versions. You must verify and swap the oil pan, oil pickup tube, and brackets from your original engine if they do not match.
- Oil Pressure Switch Location: Located deep in the engine valley under the intake manifold. It is highly prone to leaking and extremely difficult to access post-install; inspect or replace it while the engine is out.
- Priming the Oiling System: Disable the fuel or ignition system and crank the engine for 10-15 seconds at a time until the oil pressure light goes out before starting the engine for the first time.
- Grounding Straps: Pay meticulous attention to the location and condition of all engine and transmission grounding straps to avoid electrical issues.
- Fragile Connectors: Plastic electrical connectors, vacuum lines, and sensor housings become brittle with age and heat cycles and break easily.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Ordering for the wrong drivetrain (FWD vs. AWD) and failing to swap the oil pan configuration.
- Not replacing the cheap but highly inaccessible oil pressure switch while the engine is out.
- Reusing old or incorrect sensors from the replacement engine instead of transferring the original verified sensors.
- Ignoring the required ECU/TCU relearn procedures, leading to poor idling, hesitation, or harsh shifting.
- Purchasing a replacement engine from an unreputable source without a solid warranty.
Not issues with the units on this page — the manufacturer documented these for every engine of this family, wherever you buy one. Handy for your installer:
🔎 Recommended at install: Kia extended the warranty on this pump to 15 years/180,000 miles (Warranty Extension WTY034). Replace pump if DTC P0088 is present.
🔎 Recommended at install: Requires a dealer-level scan tool to perform a crankshaft variation relearn procedure.
🔎 Recommended at install: Avoid severe overheating. Block threads can strip out of the aluminum block, requiring thread repair or block replacement.
🔎 Recommended at install: Regular intake valve cleaning to prevent performance loss and misfires.
🔎 Recommended at install: Inspect and replace the oil pressure switch located deep in the engine valley while the engine is out.
🔎 Recommended at install: Apply ECU logic update per TSB.
🔎 Recommended at install: Product improvement campaign to update knock sensor detection system logic.

Policies, in plain English.
Shipping & Handling
- Ships by LTL freight on a pallet — a real freight truck, not a parcel van
- Your checkout freight quote covers delivery to your door (liftgate service included for residential addresses)
- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance
120-Day Warranty
This part includes a 120-day warranty.
- If the part fails within the warranty window, we'll replace it or refund per the coverage terms
- Coverage is parts-only — installation labor is not included
- Warranty covers defects — not installation errors, misuse, or damage after installation
Your pre-purchase interview reviews these exact terms with you before anything is charged.
Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.
- Defective parts: We will replace the part or issue a refund at our discretion
- Programming: "Needs to be programmed to my vehicle" is not a valid return reason. Many modules require dealer programming — we're happy to help connect you with resources if your dealer says it's not programmable
- Return shipping: This part ships by freight (LTL) — the part price is refundable per the terms above, but shipping costs are non-refundable and return freight follows the seller's return terms. Your pre-purchase interview walks through the exact numbers before you buy
- Parts must be returned in original packaging and unmodified condition
- Poorly packaged returns that arrive damaged will not be credited
Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
