    New Motor Oil Solves GDI Engine Problems!

    It's my understanding that the carbon buildup is due to the oil combustion products that are recirculated via the pcv system. This oils is supposed to eliminate/reduce this issue.

    Engine lifespan

    My 22 telly hasn't had any issues and I do keep on top of the oil consumption (none) and the tailpipe (clean). But I do change the oil every 5k and use only top tier gas. So far, so good.

    Towing package with hitch

    Yes, that is what puzzled me. They had a 7 pin harness for the 22's, but not the 23-24's. Made no sense.

    Towing package with hitch

    Yes, I am aware of the recall, but that was specific to the 4 pin harness, not the 7 pin harness that I have. Thus, my comment.

    Towing package with hitch

    I don't understand how Kia can sell me my 22 EXP AWD with tow package, but for some reason, in 23, they couldn't for those customers.

    Air filter discussion

    The K&N filter does not filter as well as paper filters, but it does let the engine breath better, but to minimize possible damage to the engine, you need to change your oil more often. There are lots of tests on youtube about this.

    Window Tinter's please note. 2023 front windows glass will crack. "Do Not Tint "

    There is one the front side windows, it just isn't as dark as the back windows and meets the requirements for tint in all 50 states.

    Window Tinter's please note. 2023 front windows glass will crack. "Do Not Tint "

    Have you never waved anyone to go ahead at a 4 way stop sign, etc? Not to mention the diminished vision at night. Factory tint is more than enough for me.

    Who disables Auto Start-Stop when they drive?

    I disable it due to the excessive wear and tear on the engine and the starter, not to mention the battery.

    Driving mode to use when towing with my 2020 Telluride

    My guess would be the sport setting.

    Window Tinter's please note. 2023 front windows glass will crack. "Do Not Tint "

    I have always been against tinting the front side windows as it reduces visibility at night and other drivers cannot see your signals. Additionally, it negates the safety feature of the glass to shatter allowing on to exit easily in an emergency (The film holds the glass together). The factory...

    Back to the KIA Telluride

    After a year with my 2020 Telluride EX P, AWD, I sold it (for about $1000 less than what I paid for it) and bought a 2021 Honda Ridgeline. While the Ridgeline was nice, it did not have the cabin space or comfort that I had come to enjoy in the Telly. Fast forward 8 months and I sold the...

    Telluride Homelink Mirror S9F62 AU000

    I bought this one from world Kia. It is only $16 more and is plug and play (if you already have a auto dimming mirror installed). Installation is easy. Pop off the mirror mount cover, loosen the mounting screw, and slide off/slide on, plug in...

    Are aftermarket cross bar worth it?

    I would guess it depends on how much higher the box is over the cross bars, and/or how far back the box extends. That said, if I had to do it over again, I would have chosen a slightly higher crossbar.

    Are aftermarket cross bar worth it?

    They are working fine. As you can see, I had to mount them toward the back due to sunroof interference. I have not noticed any increase in wind noise and I leave them on all the time.

    Are aftermarket cross bar worth it?

    I bought the OMAC ones ($105). They fit perfectly, but are lower than the OEM, thus if you have a sunroof, you have to position it so that it does not interfere with the sunroof opening...

    Telluride Homelink Mirror S9F62 AU000

    The mirror comes with the harness, but if you already have an auto dimming mirror, you just unplug that, and plug the new one in. Same connection/connector.

    Telluride Homelink Mirror S9F62 AU000

    I agree. I put one on my EX that took 5 minutes (thanks to your post). I was going to let the dealer do this, but they quoted $130. You saved me that installation fee. Thanks dude!!!!

    So glad I didn't get the Palisade, check out what their hitch looks like

    Wow, that makes me glad I chose the Telluride instead of the Palisade. Thanks for sharing.
