    Stinger recall to replace oil cap?

    Currently, my stinger GT limited has an oil cap that reads - 0w30 oil. The recall is to replace the oil filler cap with a cap that reads 5w30 Weird. I will continue to use 0w30 because it is objectively better. Wonder why they would do this as a recall?

    LED headlights Highbeam Operation - disables DBL

    I've known since day 1 - that the Dynamic Bending Lights (DBL) do not operate when the high-beams are on. And I've always thought the high-beams were simply additive to the low-beams, but there's more! The low beams actually move up to a high-beam position (physically) when the high-beams are...

    Winter tire pressure - discussion.

    The Engineers in South Korea have stipulated in the 2018 Stinger owners manual that (Page 7-52) we should add an extra 4 PSI to the existing recommended tire pressure for Snow tires. See image. . Which would mean for anyone running 225/45 r18 - the Kia recommended pressure would be 40 psi...

    Throttle body hose clamps - special tool?

    Is there a special tool for those hose clamps or are they single use? I imagine I could destructively remove them, but is there a better way?

    Change HUD & center speedometer units

    I'm in Canada and travel to the USA frequent enough. Is there any way to change the units of the HUD or the central digital speedometer from km/h to mph? I can't find anything. Even the fuel economy units... I can't display mpg no matter what? What am I missing?

    Oil viscosity on the engine cap 3.3t

    All the manuals I see online say 5w30, but my engine cap specifies 0w30. Is this the same everywhere? I already know that 0w30 is better than 5w30 in every measurable way, and that 0w30 is ONLY available in synthetic. Just curious about the oil filler cap. I am in Canada if it matters. I...

    Spin-on oil filter conversion?

    Is there such a thing for the 3.3 turbo? My previous car (2004 Mazda 3) had a cartridge filter, and upon my second oil change, I changed it to a spin on filter as there readily existed parts to make the swap...

    Questions about Map updates and firmware updates

    It's very unfortunate and nearly unforgivable that the firmware and map update software are bundled together (you can not buy just the firmware update). The firmware should be separate and free, and the map updates could be for sale... But they are bundled together... My question - will this...

    Automatic lock - disable (option missing)

    The Canadian manual says I can disable this option. But when I navigate through the menus ,I can only choose between enable on speed, or enable on shift. I really want to disable this annoying feature, and the manual says I should be able to disable it. Why is the "disable" option missing on...
