What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Did her first oil change and took the oportunity of installing the Fumoto valve. This is a must have for any Stinger owner, as the position and location of the oil drain plug is very inconvenient. This will make oil changes a breeze and less messy.

I recognize the utility of the valve. I worry about hooking or getting hit by objects on the road. How "protected" is this with the steel crossbar that I see in the photo?

I got her washed today (too cold for me to do it) and tried out a steam wash place. The car looks incredible! They steam wash it and then spray wax it for $25. Really interesting seeing them do it. No swirl marks :D

Steam washing. Never heard of it before. Definitely sounds interesting though.

Yeah, me either hope it doesn’t hurt the paintwork, but it does look good.

It is actually very protected as it is covered by the factory splash shield.

Also I would like to mention that we need to start considering looking for someone that can fabricate an aluminum splashield for our cars as the factory one bends easily and the one on the front (where the oil filer is) is very prone to sagging from oil absorption when not being careful when removing the oil filter cartridge. Something like the image below would be perfect.

One hundred percent interested in this if it ever goes into production
