A 2022 Kia Carnival came in yesterday on its factory fill oil…it had slightly over 11,000 miles on it! Customer “forgot” to change it. Think the recommendations for the interval is 8,000? Not sure on that though.
Oil looked obviously very dark. Surprisingly it really wasn’t noticeably low on oil when it came in. Took some pictures, cut open the cartridge style filter. Looked pretty normal as terms of metal (or lack of). Few little metal specs caught in that filter, but looked pretty normal. Honestly pretty nice looking vehicle overall. Pretty impressed that the 3.5 V6 went that far without using oil, and looking (in appearance anyway), that it did “ok”.
I’d NEVER DO THIS. In fact the most I’ll usually go is 1,000 on a factory fill, but surely that is/has been debated to death. But 11,000 miles?! Nuts.
