Just purchased a 2019 Outlander PHEV GT has just under 17,000 kms. Love the SUV my 1st PHEV. Our other car is a 2019 Kia Niro regular Hybrid. I am having issues with the Android Auto on the PHEV so called the dealership to book it in. He said the issue is usually a bad cable? Also just put the winter tires on need the tire pressure senor alarm reset/2nd profile set up. Having trouble navigating the menu to reset it tried several times.
He mentions I have a scheduled maintenance interval at 24,000 kms. I believe they also do a software update on the batteries? I asked if I can do my own oil change and just pay of it minus the oil change and he said it will void the warranty if I change the oil. I asked how that could be as I have always done my own oil changes on vehicles under warranty and record mileage, oil used, and kept the receipts for the oil and filter. Says I would still not have proof that I changed the oil. Is this true sounds like a bunch of BS would I need to record the entire process as evidence? I owned a Mazda tribute about 10 years ago the engine blew on the hwy did all my own oil changes and they approved the new motor after showing my oil change records. I hate paying for things I can do myself and are easy to do. Thanks in advance for your input
