| Hello Scotty and happy Tuesday, Im a huge fan, enough so that my wife gets irritated that she has to fight with you for my attention. 🤣 Anyways, I own a 2016 Kia Soul and a 2019 Toyota CH-R and I noticed that the oil in the Kia gets dirtier and darker significantly faster than the CH-R. Im very curious as to why that might be. I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in both vehicles.

| Vehicle info: 2017 Kia Optima plug-in hybrid 77000 miles. Maintenance up to date Last September, I was driving my Kia down down an on ramp and suddenly I heard a loud bang under the hood accompanied by a sudden loss of power. I immediately pulled over and as I was coming to a stop, I heard a second bang and saw the hood paint start to bubble. Within seconds, flames began to pour over the windshield and through my ac vents and across the dash. I jumped out and took off running. The maintenance was up to date and this occurred without warning. I wanted to ... | |||||
| Here's why people defend Hyundai/Kia | 22Relevance | 5 years ago | FJCruiser2014 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... thoughts on Hyundai/Kia. On a different forum someone was asking about mechanical opinion on a Kia vehicle which I responded to along with including a link from this forum about the issues with these brands. Someone came responding defending these brands and all the so-called arguments used were exactly the marketing tactics of Hyundai/Kia so I thought it was interesting/worth to post it here. As I always say some people their brain is in their eyes and what they see, not the reality. | |||||

| ... fluid frequently (and the filter if it's easily accessible) and it should be great.-The 2.4 engine wasn't offered on car you uploaded a picture of, that's only the previous generation. I'm familiar with the old Hyundai-Kia 2.4L Theta, I remember that engine being a bit trashy on mid-2000s Hyundai Sonatas (Everything from oil starvation to broken timing chains), but it wasn't terrible. The GDI version of the 2.4L Theta II is also not a new design, The Kia Optima had it for probably over a decade at this point, and it's just an engine that took all of the iss ... | |||||

| Answer to: New Kia Sportage opinions | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| From the standpoint of someone who owns a 2023 Kia Stonic LX and drives a 2021 Kia Niro LX - No the US-spec 2023 Sportage (LWB, 2.5 GDI, A8MF1) does not make any sense. It only make sense to buy a Kia when it is either significantly better, cheaper, or simpler than its Japanese competition. Get familiar with your warranty terms to not lose coverage, Replace the engine oil every 5k-7.5k miles, Replace the transmission oil every 30k-37.5k miles, Perform any additional maintenance as recommended by the owners' manual. | |||||
| RE: Best Brands of Oxygen Sensors for 2005 Kia Spectra5 Hatchback? | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You're welcome, we're here to help as much as possible! You should be able to find online sources selling the OEM sensors for less than you'll pay at the local stealerships. According to the Rockauto database, the "actual OE" downstream sensor is Bosch #13461, and upstream sensor is NTK #23404, but you may want to verify that on a Hyundai/Kia enthusiast site. | |||||
| How to instal Apple CarPlay in a 2019 Kia Soul base trim? | 22Relevance | 6 years ago | MappleGenius | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My mom just purchased a used 2019 Kia Soul with base trim. Purchased it from a great licensed dealer. I asked the guy who sold it to her if it comes with Apple CarPlay included because both me and my mother have iPhones and I know a lot of people dislike the built in hands free units that come with a lot of cars these days. Not to mention there’s almost no learning curve to using Apple CarPlay. I asked the dealer if they could update the cars head unit software so we can use CarPlay. He said he doesn’t know much about that kind of stuff and that I’d have to ... | |||||
| Answer to: How long will my Kia last? | 15Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What will be your advice on when I should start looking for a new one based on historical averages for Kia Rio from 2010? It’s never a bad idea to start looking for a replacement for a 175,000 mile Kia vehicle. At the very least, have a short list of vehicles that could hypothetically replace the Kia; the last thing you want is to be scrambling when your vehicle suddenly fails on you and the cost of repairs don’t justify keeping it. | |||||

| So...on Feb. 5 2020, we were almost home when the car died (2014 Kia Sorento w/85,000 miles). It restarted...backfired and wouldn’t go more than 45 mph. Then, we were home and realized there were also no brakes...that was fun. Anyway...had the car towed to FUCCILLO Kia in Schenectady, NY. So far, first was throttle body, they replaced that...not the problem. Then replaced some gasket...not the problem. But, charged for parts/labor anyway. Since then we get bi-weekly updates about the tech looking and corporate giving them direction. So far, they don’t know ... | |||||

| This is definetly NOT normal. It is usual for newer Kia/Hyundai vehicles to have their engines blow up at 50k 90k 120k miles, but usually not that early. Probably made wrong because of the quality control. Those things start at 30 grand I feel bad for your friend you can get a 5 year old one for around 6 7 grand look at the depreciation. The older 2008 2012 Sedonas are much more reliable I have a 2009 Kia Sportage and the quality control of the powertrain was much better than. The interior quality, style etc. have improved since then, but the engine and tran ... | |||||
