...Thumbs?

Sorry for the thumb sized photos. I thought I would get full size photos.
What am I doing wrong here? I'm using drop box

I like the thumbnails. Easier to see all the pics at a glance. I can click on the ones I like to get full size image. Thank you for the great under side pics!

 

It's just the forums coding......

You get this using

 

seeing you start this thread on the underside, I'll add mine from Canadian models, but not as sparkly clean as yours :sneakiness: Also didn't have the photographic advantage you had, had to get down on my hands and knees!

 

Thanks for the great pics!

 

We were just talking about this same subject on Facebook the last couple of days. Here are my under-body splash guard photos:

 

I dont know why I find this so fascinating but I do!

 

it makes a change from seeing the upper part all the time :sneakiness:

 

Did you buy your Soul+ yet?

If so are you going to get ramps so you can pressure wash the bottom often

 

Keep it clean.....

Sean..... I wash often, but not down there.

I may close on a deal Friday. ECO Package SOUL Plus in white.

I expected to be doing all the oil changing, however, the dealer says I get free lifetime oil changes.
Sooner or later I will need to learn how to remove the splash guard to access the oil filter and plug.

Sean..... I wash often, but not down there.

In the words on George Takei .... " Oh my ! " :tongue:

The underbody panels are supposed to lend some aerodynamics to our " boxes " .

 

That's good news Shaggy, thanks. Being able to acces the oil pan & filter without removing the under shield is brilliant.

 

What is the The Vented plastic thing by the Beam...?

 

and to add to Hawkia's comment

 

Charcoal filter

Hey SOUL Master......

That black plastic box houses the charcoal filter for the gas evaporation recovery system.

That is another filter that needs to stay dry for the life of the car.
It has a hose to the very top of the gas tank neck.
If a tank is overfilled, or topped off, gas may run down this hose and ruin your expensive charcoal filter.
So, never overfill your tank, let it click off, and add no more.

Splash guard...

Very cool, a hatch door for the oil filter. If the dealer wants me to wait 3000 or 5000 to get one of their free lifetime oil changes, than I might change it myself at 1222 miles. I will be very careful not to spill any oil onto the top side of the splash guard. I use a plastic bag to collect oil around the filter as I unscrew it.
But the dealer mechanics expect that no one will ever see any spilled mess on the top side of the splash guard. I may want to remove that splash guard once or twice in it's life. Any special tools required? Usually, body fasteners are used to secure the splash guard, but some companies, like HONDA have a key tool they use to drop the splash guards.

Anyway, I am very close to a great deal on a White Hot Box Car.

 

Sending this long lost thread to the top.

 

The 2013 was so easy to do an oil change on, it wasn't even worth the conversation. Even at 75 yrs old, I could do it in less than 10 minutes.

Then in 2014 Kia had to come up with that plastic shield. I'm not a fan! I always figured that when it comes down to ME to do my oil changes on my 2020, I have a nice place reserved for that plastic shield on a shelf in my shed.

I'm just old school enough that when something gets in my way, it's GONE! lol

Cheers Mates!

A new car carrier pulled up to a dealer and I took some photos.

I guess these things fall apart in waves. You’re the second person today that is trying to find this part. Interesting.

I haven’t had any luck finding them by searching online Kia dealers. I keep finding the front under engine covers or metal floor pans. But not these things.

Like what was mentioned in that thread. Your best bet at this point might be to go to the dealer, show the parts guy that picture, and at least find out the part number so you can replace them. I don’t know if they’re expensive or not. Maybe a salvage yard might be a good idea too?
