Is the oil drain plug and the oil filter in the same position as the 2013?

I cannot seem to look it up (maybe I am just missing something). It appears that Kia has not released the diagram yet, which would not be surprising. Drain plugs are always on the oil pan (under the engine) and are pretty easy to spot. Filters can be a little harder to find, but often stand out just from being a different color than almost everything else down there.

The information that I can see is that there are different engines in the 2013 and 2017 models, so I would bet that it is not exactly the same.
