So here is the story. Bought a certified used 2010 optima from a Kia dealer. Car had 20,000 miles when I bought it.Always faithful on my oil changes. Usually using Dino, 4K intervals. Usually 5w20 , maybe 2-3 of 5w30 when Autozone had the nextgen valvoline on clearance. The pics below are of the...
