Originally had a 2.0 Premium, due to major paint issues worked with KMA and got my 2018 GT2 back in August 2018.
Scary thing is, the Premium lasted on the showroom floor for about 9 hours before it was resold.
Has anyone in the US gotten their oil changed at the dealer yet? If so what did it cost you?
I asked my dealer and they said they haven't built the cost yet because the GT will take 8 quarts of synthetic and there are only 3 Stingers in the area so Im the first to ask. Im expecting around $100 but wanted to see what others have been paying.
hey i get my oil change thru the dealership in Illinois they charge me $160 to do an oil change i asked why so much they said because it takes full synthetic oil
Kia dealer quoted me $52 for full synthetic oil change but upon further investigation I learned they would fill with oil from a tanker truck bulk delivery service.
I’ve read a lot of horror stories about such oil being deficient even when customer thinks they’re getting “full synthetic” so I opted for Penzoil Platinum full synthetic at my local Firestone for $90 including tax. It was worth the extra peace of mind to me.
I had first Penzoil Platinum oil change at 500 miles, now again at 3,000 miles. From here on I’ll monitor the oil and likely go with 6,000 mile intervals.

I use the 6k mile service interval and have been using Mobil 1 for about 2 years now. Are any of you who are running synthetics going longer than 6k miles? That interval was the same regardless of conventional or synthetic, so every time I go to the shop and spend $90 on a 7-quart Hemi oil change I wonder if I'm pouring perfectly good oil down the drain.
carbon build up in DI is a thing, but it has less than nothing to do with oil change interval
it's because of emissions egr and crap like that venting back into the intake to foul the valves and DI provides no valve cleaning action since it's DI
that's all
Always take my own oil to the dealer when getting it done. Been running Quaker State Full Synthetic since first change at 1000km. I also use an OCC. Some say it works some say it doesn't. Oil does collect in it over time. Does it capture all? Maybe? Maybe not? I also run a can of GDI Intake cleaner through my system before any oil change. Going to change my plugs in spring. If I go taking of the intake route I can check out the valves and see how coated they are.
