Hey everyone!
I just acquired this vehicle in the description in post.. and this is the first time in my life I have ever pulled a oil dipstick on a vehicle and noticed what appears to be “clutch mud” on the dipstick. If you pull a dipstick to check automatic trans fluid you know what I am talking about. Really fine dark material. Not chunky by any means.
But never ever have I seen this on and engine oil dipstick before.
I am new to kia motors, and I don’t have any pics at the moment, and I do plan to follow up with my dealer. Now I know this engine with 800 miles now is still breaking in, but I have had new vehicles before and never noticed this before.
Could someone with this experience with kia motors chime in please? If you noticed this.. did it lessen with time and miles?
On a side note I don’t Know what comes as factory fill other than the recommended 5w30 for the turbo..but kia does however recommend “Total” brand oil.
Thanks in advance!
Also.. to those who know me from other posts over the years,my 07 duramax at 201,000 miles is still running great and is now my secondary vehicle.
