On 5/31/2018 at 99,778 miles - I had service completed on my vehicle. Oil Change and some other repairs at the Kia dealer service department in Layton Utah.
On 6/29/2023 at 102,800 miles, the engine started making a horrible knocking sound. I immediately pulled over to a gas station. On checking the oil, found that there was no oil reading on the dipstick, totally dry. Added about 4.5 quarts of oil and carefully drove back home. Parked the car. About a week later, I towed the car (using another car and a tow strap) to a trusted mechanic for diagnosis. They said that the engine would need to be replaced due to internal damage. It still started, but I am assured by an independent mechanic and the dealer that the engine will fail completely and needs replaced. Quoted $6k to $11K.
IN MY (and mechanics) OPPINION: The internal oil consumption problem - that KIA knows about (see TSB's) - reared up after the oil change and the engine became permanently damaged as a result.
