    Hi all, I am coming up on 30k miles on my 2014 SX-T and had my car in the dealership recently for KIA's ECU upgrade/recall. At that time, the dealer suggested two maintenance services: Fuel injection service @ $155 Automatic transmission fluid replacement @ $230 I subsequently reviewed the...
  2. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I'm reaching 30k on my sxl (2013) and checked the manual to see what needs to be done.

I called the dealer to see if I'm missing anything and the advisor recommended I bring car...

    I just bought my 2014 2.4L EX a few months back and was a bit worried about doing the scheduled services myself as I did not want to take a big chance with any future warranty issues. So here’s what I did. I bought all of my filters and fuel treatment from KIA. I bought my oil from the local...

    Hi, I was wondering at 30,000 km, should it use a fuel injection cleaner now too soon? I will be using Liqui Moly Jectron Gasoline Fuel Injection Cleaner I did it in my other car at 55k km and worked decently. I use gas from Canadian Tire or Costco [recently] ... so I am not sure 100% if...
  6. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I posted this on another national site, but forgot to here. I have a 2012 EX base, which has been on the road since December 23rd, 2011. It started to get weaker and weaker over a pretty long time (like months) until it could barely blow cool air, especially while rotting in traffic. So, I...

    Quality on the badges...Awesome. Weigh a bit more and just overall feel much nicer. The CF style pattern seems to be behind some kind of plastic/acrylic/resin. Only downside...have to order for KAI-Sherwood Automotive. I did however get them in pretty fast. Arrived today, quick shipping...

    I bought the front/rear set of CF 3.0k badges from jayongmall when they first came out with them. I have kept up maintenance on it...wiping it down in the winter to get the salt off, polishing the chrome lettering, applying wax multiple times to keep it from getting damaged. Neither the...

    The 3.0K badge on my trunks is a little off... Is it possible to take it off and then put it back on with the same 3M tape?
  12. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I recently purchased a Corsa Blue Optima. Deciding on either black 3.0K badges or sea blue. A little hesistant on going with the sea blue, since the blue is of a different shade than the blue on the car... Any suggestions? May also go with the Carbon Fiber badges instead of Black, but the Sea...

    Hello. New to the forums, been trolling for the longest. I have a simple question but I don't want it to come off rude but... Is there a big deal with 3.0K badges? I plan on getting a blue Optima SX early next year. First thing I want to do is replce the "KIA" badges with the 3.0K badge...
