• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

So what I've said both my vehicles are coming up on 60000 then miles and I'm trying to find out more information about the valve clearance inspection that inspection that I don't have the dealership do but I just want to know what it is so they don't blow smoke up my butt.
Also using Lucas GDI cleaner too , my Optima sxl is a 2015 2.0 .

Thanks 🤙

I don't have the answer to your question, but I do have some important info about the 2015 optima sxl. I also have a 2015 optima sxl. I have 80,000 miles on it.

8 weeks ago my check engine light came on blinking. I had it towed to dealer. It was throwing the code p1326. My engine was done. They replaced with brand new engine in 3 weeks.

This has been happening with optima 13s 14s 15s and many others. Just be prepared at some point for this to rear its ugly head. Luckily there is a TSB on it and kia will take care of it.
