Got a new Kia Niro PHEV, and am very happy with it.
Does anyone know if there is a way to find out how much the gasoline engine is used?
Is there an hour counter as part of the on-board computer?
I got my car two weeks ago, put 600 miles on it, and the gasoline gauge hardly moved. (Man, I love that)
The manual tells me to change the engine oil when the car reaches 7500 miles. At the rate that I am driving, the gasoline engine only will have run for less than 10 % of that, or 750 miles.
Why would I change the engine oil after it ran for only 750 miles?
If there is a way to find out how many minutes/hours or miles the gasoline engine actually ran without going to the dealer and have it plugged into the diagnostics monitor?
Suggestions?
Thanks.
Gerrit
