    Hey, so I have this MK2 Proceed GT with the 1.6 T-GDI. but I'm having some issues. the main issue is, I'm getting fuel mixed into the engine oil, and not just a little. I have been changing the oil about once a month, because the oil level keeps rising, and I just cant figure out the issue...
  2. 4G 2016-2018+ Sportage
    I did a spark plug change and noticed that #2 spark plug (from left to right) has what appears to be oil on it and is quite dark. there was really no oil in the chamber, there was something oil colored right where the hole is where the tip of the spark plug goes in to the engine, however when I...
  3. 2016 - 2020 Sorento Forum
    Generally speaking, after almost 7 years and 129,000 km, we still love our Sorento. But here are some things we've noticed: Checked the oil last night and it was right off the stick. We have always changed the oil at between 5,000 and 7,000 km intervals and it's barely below full each time, so...
  4. 4G (2018- Present) Rio
    Looking for advice from anyone who's been dealing with excessive oil consumption. My 2018 Rio has the 1.6L Gamma GDI engine. Mileage is about 65,000. It's currently using about 1.5 quarts of oil per 1,000 miles. It was a certified pre-owned so the original manufacturer warranty doesn't apply...
  5. 4G 2016-2018+ Sportage
    I have Kia Sportage 2019 1.6 crdi awd with manual transmission. Did someone know what type of gearbox oil I need (I think other engines (petrol or older diesels (1.7 or 2.0)), can have same gear oil type)? As I found, it should be API GL-4 70W (can anyone confirm this?), but in my region...
  6. 2021+ Sorento Forum
    I have a LX Premium, 2.5L naturally aspirated. Did my second oil change on it today, at very exactly 12036km. First one was done at the 6000km mark. When I looked at the bottom of the oil filter cup, there was metal particles glistening in the residual oil, and I saw one metal flake (not quite...
  7. Kia Soul Forum
    Hey all, My question is how frequently should one change the oil when the car is driven fewer than 2,000 MILES PER YEAR. My 2014 Soul has <11K miles; I bought it new late in 2014 and my routine has been to change the oil ANNUALLY by the dealership that sold me the car. I do realize my frequency...
  8. Kia Cee'd Forum
    Hi All, I was wondering if someone might be able to help me with an issue I have with my Kia Ceed 1.6 CRDI from 2013. I recently replaced the reverse light sensor on my Kia as it was leaking transmission oil and has been for some time by the looks of it! No I want to either refill or drain and...
  9. Kia Soul Forum
    All of a sudden, my 2016 Soul is burning oil. (91,000 miles) I just had an oil change 3500 miles ago and now the light is on. I checked and the oil is almost non-existent. I added oil immediately so I would be able to get it to the dealership. 1) Has anyone else had this issue? 2) Does the...

  11. 3G (2012 - 2017) Rio
    My Kia Rio 2015 started losing oil around the 99K mileage mark. The car has been losing oil to the point it doesn't show up on the dip stick in a WEEK. The kia dealership I went to just kept telling me it was normal that this was happening? Doesn't make sense. I'm at a loss. Is this normal...
  12. Kia Carnival & Sedona 2015+
    Two questions: (1) can you really hear a bad timing belt? (2) what is an engine flush? And I guess another question is do you have any other extensions. Background: We bought a 2017 Kia Sedona two years ago with 17,000 miles on it. It now has 51,000 miles. Every car I have had for the past...
