Consumer Description
MY 2012 SORENTO HAS BEEN BURNING/LOSING OIL SINCE IT WAS TESTED FOR THE PREMATURE BEARING WEAR RECALL AT 100K MILES. IT BURNS APPROX. 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 114K MILES. I HAVE TO ADD 5 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN EVERY 5K MILE OIL CHANGE. DROPPING A MICROPHONE INTO MY OIL PAN DID SOMETHING TO MY ENGINE. KIA DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED FOR AN ENGINE WITH THIS MANY MILES.
