I have a Kia Rio 2002 and have put 60,000 Klms on it already. It's been hit in back and now I have a slightly off color rear bumper and a squeek I can't find. The only problem I have is that the oil pan threads for the oil plug are badly warn. The Canada Tire service center is trying to claim it because it has an aluminum oil pan.
I think it's because they keep overtoruque the plug. I'm in the middle. Canadian Tire claims, Here in Canada they don't use a torque wrench on oil pan plugs. That's it's normal industry standards to tighten them with a hand wrench. There must be a defect in the design of the pan. When he was a manager at a GM dealership, GM fixed fix them under warenty.(GM aluminum oil pans)
I think the GM dealer did fix them under warranty if the dealer striped them. I guess I just have to fix it and take them to court for the cost.
