Description of the problem	I have been trying to get the kia dealership in gainesville, ga to postpone the oil consumption testing due to the coronavirus concerns my husband and i have. The manager of the dealership said that the oil consumption testing has a protocol, the testing cannot be cancelled. I keep telling everyone, the dealership, kia motors, that i did not say to cancel the testing, just to postpone it. The same as the united states supreme court did, they put their work on hold due to concerns of the coronavirus concerns. I cannot check my oil consumption because the oil dipstick is sealed, if i remove it the manager of the dealership said i would void my warranty and it would be my responsibility, my liability if something goes wrong. This dealership put the seal on the dipstick, this dealership needs to remove it. I will continue the testing after the coronavirus concerns are over. The dealership nor kia motors will authorize me in writing that it is okay for me to have the seal on the oil dipstick removed and that i will not void my warranty. Nhsta please help me !!
