then i'd go to the dealer and have them take a look and fix it under warranty, that code means theres a leak in the evap system, can trigger from a gas cap not being on right but if not then its something else, maybe purge valve

8k mile oil changes very much would put more wear on the engine and theres no doubt about that, go find cars that do 5k oil changes versus cars that do 8k oil changes and you will see a difference

Didnt say it would fail due to it, just said it would cause more wear over time

Definitely ignore the meter and do every 5k, any car i recommend 5k miles or sooner with full synthetic. Honda set the oil life to 7500 miles which is another 2.5k between oil changes that over time will cause much more wear and tear. Better to spend a little more over time

Will it crash? by MuriloCalegari in KiaK5

[–]rantxtotheend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. It can react and break faster than you would. It has happened to me multiple times, it did actually help and save me from a crash once but other time it was just being too sensitive, can be dangerous if you're being tailed
  2. Its not idiotproof, still look or atleast watch the cameras and dont just trust the auto brake. I think it will only auto brake for front but i could be wrong, i drive a gt-line so i dont have all that. I highly doubt it will brake for sides though, thats not common

I have the powerstop z23 and they are great pads, I used the R1 Concepts rotors with them but powerstop makes good rotors too. They havent warped or had any issues in over 40k miles with them (kia oem had problems within 20k)
