Dealership strikes again

[Wireman1987]

What's the "story" for the grade usage?

They don’t purchase anything else only bulk 5W30

Okay.

Did you see where the level is on the dip stick?

 

[Wireman1987]

Here’s the damage report. I told my father fr now on I’m doing the oil changes and tire rotations.

 

[dishdude]

I would run with 7 quarts

If it's the Theta II, it probably burned through all 7 quarts pulling out of the parking lot.

Tire rotation is about double what I pay at my Subaru dealer......

Here’s the damage report.

Those are words on a piece of paper, not "damage". What's the level on the dipstick?

 

[ARCOgraphite]

story for the 7 qts is they said the vehicle took 6.1 qts so they round up to the next full qt. gotta make money lights and lifts to keep running.

Not in a shop. Thats a ripoff. Two of our local Subaru shops has been doing this for years. One time in for other service I requested an OC as it was going on the lift. Later that day when cashing out the writer said the tech reported that the oil drain plug was not tight- scolding me I suppose. I said the last OC was done buy another certified Subaru Dealer in Manchester. Crickets.

At least this time I didn't have to "accidentally" knock their Dirty and Clean Cabin filter diorama onto the floor breaking it to bits.

Tire rotation is always a part of the OC packages up here.

Leave the oil in there. Nothing wrong with 30 in a "big block" 4 banger. You may wish to drain anything over 1/2 qt overfill. foaming is a bigger issue than underfill and always cautioned against.
1/2 qt over you are OK.

I’m not afraid of the 5W30 as I told dad the 7 QTs is the concern I believe the telluride has the 7 QTs sump. This service was performed by ours truly Myrtle Beach Kia home of the $4,000 inflation package. I mean at least they justify for the $4000… pin-striping, Kia logo mats not vehicle fit, and nitrogen filled tires. Lol
That’s what you get for $4,000.

Actually being along the coast. We dont have to worry about sub zero temperatures or ever sub 20s-f

Well, you bought the "every soccer mom must have telluride" for $4K market adjustment, then you paid $183 for a (wallet flush) oil change and tire rotation.

Did you actually check the oil? Possibly they did not change it at all - I have had that happen. May have never rotated the tires either.

The only positive is they did in fact pour 5W-30 in the sump. Time for a new dealer.

Tire rotation at Costco is $25 for tires not bought from them and free for tires bought from them. Unless Costco is not an option - it's a no-brainer. I actually sometimes do it while on vacation.

It’s a Kia sportage not a telluride

Darn. Your parents paid $4K adder for a sportage. I really do feel bad for them. There absolutely being taken advantage of.

 

[Mechanician]

Sounds like that one $183 oil change, got the man a free lifetime oil change package from a good son.

I can’t tell my old man he’s got this car crazed leasing obsession. Likes options and tech junk.

Not sure if it's a Hybrid or the gas only, but for the Hybrid's engine (1.6 SmartStream) 5w30 is officially approved for markets in North Africa and the Middle East, as long as the other certifications are followed. Which means that it's simply the right oil, and the 0w20 is an mpg thing.
Now, what I'm curious about, if it's the 1.6, does it have the annoying engine noise between 3000 and 4000rpm, which many - including me - complain about, and which occurs only when the car is in motion, not when revved in Neutral.

No it is a naturally aspirated 2.5 4cyl.

According to the capacity chart, the Sportage takes 6.1qts, did they actually put 7qts in (i.e. is it overfilled) or just round up to 7qts on the invoice? That wouldn't be right but better than being .9qt overfilled.

Also, if he is interested, discount tire rotates tires for free.
