COMMENTS
Universal averages for Kia's 1.6L GDI engine are shown in the far right column, based on an average
oil change of ~5,800 miles of oil use. You're getting a little more metal than average, but you're also running
a longer-than-average oil change, so that's not a problem. In fact, on a per-mile basis, metals are right on
target, as the wear-rates (ppm/mile) are pretty similar to averages. We found some fuel at 0.8%, but that's
not a problem, and there are no other contaminants we can see. The TBN is still good at 2.2, so 7,500 miles
(or even longer!) is fine.
