Check Engine Light Back On After a Recent Repair

What the customer reported

The vehicle owner reported the vehicle was showing the same issues it had before the most recent repair, and the check engine light was illuminated again.

What we found and did

During testing, the technician found new issues not related to any previous repairs: a rattle noise from the timing chains and gears, and a leaking oil filter/adapter gasket. The oil filter was also found loose, and the oil change was overdue by 23k+ miles per CarFax. At our Lake Wales shop, the team performed the oil filter housing/adapter service along with a full synthetic oil change to vehicle specs. A timing chain with cam phasers was recommended because of the rattle noise, but that work was not performed on this visit, and further testing may be needed for a complete answer.

Oil Light On and Radio Screen Blank on a Hyundai or Kia

What the customer reported

The vehicle owner reported a CEL, a blank radio screen, and exterior lighting concerns, and the vehicle was also in for an LOF.

What we found and did

The vehicle was very low on oil, not registering on the dipstick, which turned on the oil light and was likely causing intermittent issues with the camshaft actuators. The technician performed a digital inspection and an LOF oil change with FULL SYNTHETIC oil to vehicle specs, noting the next step was to start there and re-test. The technician also noted known oil consumption (common in Hyundai/Kia), said it must be monitored, and recommended closer to 3,000 miles between oil changes.

FAQ

Oil Change in Lake Wales: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Lake Wales.

How do I know which oil my car takes?

Your owner's manual lists the viscosity and the oil standard your engine requires, and it is usually printed on the oil cap too. Tell us your year, make, and engine and we will confirm it before anything goes in. Getting this right matters more on modern engines than it did on older ones.

Do I really need oil changes more often in Florida?

Sometimes, and it depends on how you drive more than where you live. Heat, humidity, idling in traffic, and short trips are what manufacturers call severe service, and most manuals list a shorter interval for it. If that sounds like your week, we will point you to that column.

Is the oil life monitor on my dash accurate?

On most vehicles it is a reasonable guide, since it factors in engine temperature, trip length, and load rather than just counting miles. We still check the oil's actual condition and level when the car is in. If the monitor and the manual disagree, we will walk you through why.

Will getting my oil changed here affect my factory warranty?

No. Federal law protects your right to have routine maintenance done where you choose, as long as it meets the manufacturer's specification and gets documented. We record the oil and filter that went in and the date and mileage, so you have the paperwork if it ever comes up.

Can I wait while it is done?

Most people do. Give the shop closest to you a call before you head over and we will tell you honestly what the day looks like, so you are not sitting longer than you planned.
