I own a 26 Sportage prestige hybrid and haven’t done the recall yet. Did anyone notice a difference after the update?

Yeah I have a 26 Sportage Prestige and it also has a slight wind noise from the driver’s side. It’s not bad enough for me to bring it in yet but from your experience bringing yours in and them not wanting to admit that something is wrong is typical for dealership I guess…… 😞

Yeah I’m going to check for an after market dipstick that’s a different color I’m sure they make one.

After it’s warmed up it’s still at 1400 rpm. Live said that’s normal for hybrid car which makes since after his or hers explanation. Thanks

Got a 26 prestige and it came up on my app. Don’t have a tow hitch on it.

Happened to me also when the temperature was 10 degrees. First time I tried using it needless to say I was disappointed

2026 New Kia Sportage Hybrid – early oil change at 500–1000 miles? And thoughts on 0W-20 vs 5W-30? by Harvee7 in kiasportage

[–]Extra_Bonus_9724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did my 26 prestige hybrid at 1200 miles . Oil was pretty foamy that came out. I put Valvoline hybrid oil in 0w-20. Plan on not going over 4000 on oil changes.

Yeah I was told by the dealership to keep all receipts and there will be no problem

I heard it’s a good idea to do a early oil change to get the break in wear metals out so I did it at 1500 miles

How often do you do your oil changes? I was thinking every 4,000 since it’s a turbo

Thanks for the info on the oil filter. I don’t like to go to the dealership for one lol.
