Owner's manual states the 1.6turbo requires 4.75 qrts of oil with filter change. The car reads full after adding 4 qrts. Still reading full after double checking after 250 miles. .Owner's manual typo? . Incorrect dipstick during final assembly? .Following the manual could lead to overfilling/foaming issues and thus engine failure/safety issues. Perhaps a tsb needs to be done? Note: i used a fram filter. Slightly smaller dimensions than original but in no way accounting for 3/4 qrts.

I own a 2020 kia optima (my second one in less than a year). Three weeks ago, i applied my brakes before entering a curve. In the process, i hit a bump (not a pot hole) in the road's and my brakes disengaged and i thought i would lose control of the vehicle because i was not sure the brake were going to engage in time for me miss a hit on collusion. The same thing happen again, yesterday. This is not the first time i have experienced brake problems with a kia optima. In my 2016, the same thing was occurring. The service shop replace a rod or something the braking system. I had a loaner kia optima (2019). I could feel vibrations in brake paddle when i drove over a bump in the road while applying the brakes. The same occurred in the first 2020 kia optima that i purchased last october. Kia country savannah try everything to solve the problem. Luckily, the dealership traded me i out of that vehicle before my first payment and was given a loaner vehicle until my current vehicle was located and delivered from another dealership. Now, i experiencing this issue with your company's vehicle. I was forced to trade-out of 2016 car due to known engine problems.
