    Hyundai/Kia Recalls 1.4 Million Vehicles

    Did I drain my FF too early?

    I changed mine at 1k as well. I'd be more concerned with that thin oil in a high specific output turboed engine. My car says 5w-30 on the cap but specifies 5w-40 for higher performance 274hp from 2.0l dit. fire suit on
