The broken plugs issue is still hitting a few owners on the kia forums, especially in the sportage SX models. It has been discussed in circles for months. Personally, I think it shows all the classic signs of low speed pre ignition, but with no personal exposure to it, I can only read all the...

This is the viscosity chart I was talking about in the original post

I wonder if Kia has changed the maintenance schedule? My owners manual shows the following that seems to indicate an interval of 6,500 miles for the 2.0 T-GDI engine in my sportage. I am curious what changes Hyundai / Kia has made to the turbo Theta II engine, as power is down, torque is down...

I just bought a new 2017 Kia Sportage with the 2.0l t-gdi turbocharged engine. The owners manual calls for 5w-30 conventional oil, and a 7,500 mile interval for normal service use. severe is 5,000 miles on the same oil. they also have an allowed viscosity chart, which starts at 5w-30 and also...

I have had great results so far with my new 1800x build, using MSI x370 titanium board. Been a happy camper with the new performance, previous rig was a 8350 setup.

one thing to consider in reading this report, the universal average for this unit type, those universal figures are from 6,000 to 6,100 miles according to blackstone, and this interval was 11,000 miles... nearly twice the mileage and when considering that the wear metals don't look that bad...

I haven't had any issues with techron or other fuel system cleaning agents showing up on UOA reports so far. Never thought about it until now actually.

I have owned 2 of the recent Hyundai products (2010 Sonata 2.0T sport, 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track) In my experience, these have both been extremely reliable cars. As far as dealing with Hyundai, They have not given me any trouble at all. I will say the 2010 had a defect right at the...

yeah, schools and hospitals only use the best, most efficient and clean automotive air filters ROFLMAO They also meet or exceed ALL oem specs? LOL

I have the same engine, and according to the oil viscosity chart in the owners manual, and my climate I have been running the pennzoil platinum 10w-30 in mine with good results. Depending on where he lives in Georgia, he could likely benefit during the summer with the 10w-30

The car has had ZERO mechanical issues or any problems since new so I guess thats pretty good. Most new cars have at least one thing they have been back to a dealer for, but I am at 2 years and nearly 50,000 miles and hasn't graced the dealer service department even once yet.

Hyundai has a come a long way, but they still have some more to go when it comes to a sports car. All the elements of a good one are there, but they need a bit more polish putting it all together and tuning it. The car is great value for the money, however minor things that could be easily...

I have been running pennzoil platinum 10w-30 in this car since new, now at 49000 miles, using fram cartridge filters for the most part, and it seems to be doing fine. Got blackstone report back today and looks like I should stick with what I have been doing? Things look fine here right..... oil...
