Our 2011 Kia Forte SX

What another car? Yeah this is the one I put the miles on, until I get the 08 reliable I drive this one 80% of the time.

Just making a thread so I can keep track of maintenance.

100k
-NGK iridiums
-Air Filter
-Cabin Filter
-Tires

112k
-New pads and rotors on all corners (TSS - house brand for shops)

Purchased and to be done
-Whiteline Control Arm bushings + Moog Ball Joints


To be done-
Coolant flush + thermostat + water pump
Power steering flush
Brake fluid flush
Trans fluid flush (The stupid pan is not facing the ground so I may not do the filter but the car is at like 116k and has most likely never been done, if I have decent access I'll do the trans filter too).
Alignment after bushings
Front chassis reinforcement
-Subframe bushings
-Lower tie bars
Rear Sway Bar
Sticker bomb rear window

Annnnd this is what's going on so far....

Forte Koup front seat swap



Sticker Bombed the center waterfall


Unknown Korean brand front strut tower bar (steering was sloppy and I thought I needed struts but this made the steering feel nice and quick again)



Signifigant other checked out a curb pretty bad, replaced the front cover with a used one, I'll buff out the scratches and make it look nicer, at least the car has two fog lights and not a cracked, sagging bumper.


Uhhhh that's it for now. Will update with the fluid flushes.

Car is getting house brand quaker state full synthetic oil changes at my job, i'm trying to get 30mpg sustained and it's pretty tough, car only gets 28 rn, not sure what else it needs....
