Hello, and thank you for this great place to learn. I have been reading and learning a lot from this site, and all of you experienced Kia Owners. Just thought I would join in to get your thoughts on my "issue" with my brand new Sportage.
Purchased it on the 14th, with 11 miles on it. That day, we left for 8 days, so the new baby sat in the driveway. Was driven twice since, for a total of 152 miles on odometer. Noticed many oil spots on the concrete from where the car was parked when we were gone. Checked oil level and found it to be over 1/4" above the Full mark. We haven't driven it now since the oil level was noted, and the dealership has sent a flatbed to haul it in.
My main concern is that it is sooooo bad to have too much oil in a vehicle, what damage has been done that won't be realized for many miles? Just afraid that my confidence in my new baby is shot.
Any feedback and opinions would really help at this point, and be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much, and hope everyone is having a great day.
