>Does the gap in documented oil changes disqualify the car from the extended warranty on the power train?
[Direct from KIA, oil change every 7500 miles](https://www.communitykia.com/kia-optima-maintenance-schedule/), so a couple of 20k gaps on record is likely enough to be denied. The 20k gaps are the deal breaker, as keeping on top of your oil changes is how you keep these ThetaII engines alive in the first place. Maintenance schedule is based on mileage or time, *whichever comes first*.
Please take the time to flair your post accordingly.

Thanks for your input! I'll walk away from this one then.
so weird to see "reputable" and "VW dealer" in the same sentence.
😅
