The best way to find out is to call a Kia dealer and ask if their O2 sensor has a 7/8" head. As long as it works, you will be able to use it.
Please give me a quick hello. The KAX oxygen sensor socket can be attached to any ratchet with 3/8-inch drive. It is equipped with an offset oxygen sensor socket that allows the sensor wires to be attached from the side, rather than the top, which protects the sensor wiring. This is one of the best An oxygen sensor socket from Quality Sensors can save you a lot of time!

Had I thought it would last one job, it would have been fine. No, not at all! The fourth and last one of JUNK broke. No response was received from the company after I sent an email. Buy a product that is better made for 5 bucks more.
Because of all I read about them being seized, I assumed it was going to be a pain to replace the o2 sensors on my 2006 Chevy Silverado. The workers just came out and used a regular 7/8 wrench on 3 of 4 of the bolts. I didn't have much trouble accessing the socket since it was the only one I needed. The only issue I had on this socket was that it was too small for the 3/8" drive! Outside, it was over 100 degrees, and I beat the ratchet on and off to get the right combination of extensions for the task at hand. There was a small file inside the drive hole, but I didn't think it would We also tried a ton of 3/8 extensions and ratchets, but nothing worked. The ratchet had to be driven out by punching it while it was on. It wasn't the detent ball, I pressed it once and it was still tight once I was on top of it. It took longer than the sensors to do all of that! Make sure that these are all QC'd for one second! I think this is a good candidate besides that. In other words, a socket should feel like that.
The problems I encountered with this product weren't caused by the product itself but occurred as a result of some of the reviews WD-40 was sprayed around the area after I warmed the engine for about 20 minutes, let it cool briefly, and then let it dry for a bit before I sprayed it. I then used this tool, a ratchet, and a flexible extender (purchased from Home Depot) to remove the old sensor and replace it with no problems. * If I factor all the costs (oxygen sensor replacement part, all the tools), I probably saved over $150. The product works just as well as having it done by a mechanic, so I recommend it to anyone looking for a product that will do the same thing.
A 35-year-old pickup truck of mine needed to have its O2 sensor replaced. I was able to complete this task perfectly with this tool. In addition to running the engine for half an hour to warm it up, spraying on WD40, and turning the tool with the footlong pipe on the ratchet handle, I used a rubber band to tighten it to an 1/8-turn. WD40 was sprayed on again after I moved the sensor back and forth several times. It took about an hour for it to soak in, and then I repaired it by pressing it back The tool is of excellent quality.
As there have been complaints about the socket separating when removing stuck 02 sensors, I was a little concerned. It was easy to work with a 3/8th inch breaker bar in my application. With 320K miles on my 2001 suburban, I have a vehicle with manual transmission. Using your breaker bar can be done from many different angles thanks to the socket. As far as the sensor 1 of the passenger module, you'll have to be patient as it can be difficult to get the correct angle that gives you enough clearance to remove it. Over time, I was able to solve the problem. The second time I replaced the sensors in my car is only the second time during its lifetime. Due to my Texas residence, maybe my sensors did not have the same issue with rust that some other folks were experiencing. For my application, the size was just right. This product would be a good choice for me in the future.
The oxygen sensors came off with ease after using this slit socket first, then I used the normal slit socket for oxygen sensors. On the off-day This will cause the set to turn into a tripping hazard. Furthermore, I took a few minutes to rest- I sprayed free spray and hit the sensor twice with it twice in an 8-hour period in order for it to come loose easily.
To get one )2 sensor out, I had to use a lot of force. Abuse of this tool has proven that it can withstand it.
Even on a very stuck sensor, it worked great. I had to fix the end of the ratchet with a 12 inch piece of pipe to make sure it wouldn't break.
