The dealer cannot duplicate the problem . The rap is at start up when car is on a right slant and when the car is idle for a day or more. I think this is a dry start which is a pump issue. Also the oil pump pickup could be restricted. I don't think it is the oil filter draining back. I use all Kia parts when I service my cars. I do all the repairs on all my cars. I restore antique cars as a hobby from start to finish. So I think I understand the mechanical end. Thank You
