It’s your piston rings, my 2013 Optima LX had the same issue, it started coming out my exhaust

Did the dealer take care of it?

It started long after the warranty expired, but I’m sure if yours is under warranty the dealer could fix it

ETA: sure, not sure

Get it to a detailer for a paint correction if you really want it to shine. It looks like it’s been thrashed by years of brushed automatic carwashes.

Remember if the engine blows up, it’s okay and not your fault

Talking about the Kia engine recall. Only covered if it has the knock sensor computer upgrade.

Should’ve dove further into the recall research before buying my first Kia Optima. Bought it a year and a half ago and the motor just blew up and Kia is refusing to cover it :cry:
