 Description of the problemShowing 137 miles to next service and i smelt oil burning so i had my husband check the oil and it had 0 yes 0 oil on the dipstick i had called the dealership earlier this week tuesday the 26th to be exact and an appointment set for tuesday april 2 as it was the earliest appointment time to get the oil changed however; after my husband checked and it showed zero oil in vehicle i took it to valvoline express care who noted oil level off dip stick on arrival and paid $66. 48 to have the oil changed i had zero indications that there was no oil in this vehicle i think the only thing that kept it from locking the engine was i changed and flushed the oil and use synthetic oil to which the dealership frowned upon as it is newer car but i prefer to use synthetic oil in all my vehicles for this purpose!! I have no clue how long it was without oil and have never smelt oil burning until last night to which i took it get serviced first thing this morning and paid out of pocket when i have an agreement with the dealership that we paid extra for to have them service the vehicle at no cost when i go!!! We take care of our vehicles if i feel it is too long before kia dealership can service the vehicle i have paid in past and always used the valvoline express care as that is where i take all my other vehicles. Please see the service comments on the attached invoice from today's service. My engine could have damage or even blown from this!!! There was no indication that it was leaking oil on the skid plate so either the dealership did not put any oil in the vehicle at my last oil change or there is something going on with my engine!!
