Hey all, I have a failed fuel level sensor which I believe is part of the whole fuel sending system/float/etc. Is this a repair that is reasonable/practical/relatively simple to DIY? Or does the tank have to be dropped? Would it be something to just bite the bullet and have done? Thanks all!

To continue the apparent 'gamification' of high mileage, let's compare 'ECO Levels'. This is what I usually get: I'm not sure how scientific this is. Last week, I was getting about 45 mpg and also had a level 7. This week, I'm getting more like 38mpg and still getting a level 7 (though it has...

Hi all, I noticed the coolant level in the overflow tank dropped a little. I've never had to adjust the coolant level so I'm curious what's up. The radiator was replaced at a dealer in 2016 due to a cracked side tank and presumably they did a complete coolant flush at the same time. If you look...

Just wondering if anyone knows the exact level the fuel is at when it set off the low gas light in the 2016 Kia Optima SX Last time I filled it was so close to the red line, but still didnt set off the low fuel alert. I filled up in it only took about 13 gallons, that means nearly at the red...

Does anyone know of the acceptable level of Ph in our coolant. My car is almost 3 years old and i went to test the Ph on my car and it was at an acidic level. like 6.2-6.4. Is this cause for concern and should I change it? I hear long life coolant usually has a lower ph than like a 3 year...

Does anyone know what tire pressure level triggers the low tire pressure warning light? About once a month my light comes on and says the back driver's side tire is low. Whenever I check the pressure it's never been lower than 32. I'll air it back up and the light goes off. But it will...

I feel like using an LOC would give you more control and also more amp options.. Can anyone chime in on this? I am about to order an amp and powered sub and want to know what I should do...

Had the oil changed at my local Kia dealer about three weeks ago. I pulled the dipstick yesterday and found the oil level over one half inch ABOVE the full mark. Knowing that the owners manual warns against overfill I returned to the dealer and was told by the service writer not to worry, a...

So I think one of my next mods is to tint my tail lights. I don't want to go too dark, as I want it to blend in with the car color. I have the smoky blue color (pics in my garage), and was thinking of either gunsmoke or smoked tint from Lamin-X Does anyone have a close up of how dark either of...

Decided to check out what other countries are getting in their Optima and found the UK version comes with a few things I would like to have on mine. Here are the things I would like, headlight washers, parking sensors front and rear, quad projector headlights with Xenon, auto headlights with...

Hey guys, new member here from Long Island, NY. We don't have an optima yet, just trying to decide on which trim to get. We looked at the '13 ex with the added premium package which was very nice. However now looking at the sx and it seems to be a little more for not much more money. So what I'm...
