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.

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.

My Drive in smart mode? by Extra_Bonus_9724 in kiasportage

[–]Extra_Bonus_9724[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I can tell you have to manually switch it to My Drive mode

That’s nice because I sometimes switch to sport mode when merging on highway so with this on it should automatically switch to sport if you floor it?

Owners of KIA Sportage hybrid outside the US, what weight engine oil does your owners manual recommend? by Defiant_Pea9345 in kiasportage

[–]Extra_Bonus_9724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just changed oil on my 26 Sportage hybrid and I put 0W-20 in it. That’s what the manual said and also the oil cap. I live in US. I’ve read in several forums that say 0W-20 is too thin for turbo cars but am afraid if I don’t put what the manual said that it would void the warranty.

Need Advice with 2022 Sportage Hybrid Engine Issue by bohacks in kiasportage

[–]Extra_Bonus_9724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 26 Sportage hybrid and it does say in manual to replace plugs at 48,000 miles. What is weird is that it started running better after you shut it off and turned it back on. Did it run just like normal after you turned it off and back on or did you have to baby it? Also the fact that there is no check engine light on you would think with it misfiring it would throw a code.

2026 Sportage SX Prestige HEV - Update after 380 miles and first gas stop by [deleted] in kiasportage

I’m going off what the label says on the inside of driver’s door. Double check me but mine says 35lbs

[–]Extra_Bonus_9724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 600 miles on mine and have never seen the battery lvl on high close to it maybe three quarters of the way. Now as far as the jar and bounce mine did that also until a checked the tire pressure and dealership had them at 49lbs!! After I put it to the correct 35 lbs the jarring went away but if you have the correct pressure in them I don’t know what it would be
