Description of the problem	I brought my vehicle to the dealership dec 09 2019 (mileage 56176) as instructed by service tech in order for them to check reason this vehicle is using a lot of oil in between oil changes. Service tech checked oil and found oil was down 1. 25 qts. Service tech opened tech line case and sent pictures to kia. I was instructed to return to dealership to recheck oil level in 1000 miles. Today, dec. 30 2019, (mileage 57231) i returned to dealership. Oil was down 1 qt. After 1055 miles. If you do the math, engine only holds 5. 5 quarts of oil, if i go the entire 7500 miles in between oil change(as per owner manual) i would be out of oil. Service tech added 1 qt. Oil and put in a sealed dipstick so i cannot check oil level. How am i to know oil level? I park vehicle in my garage. When i questioned tech about this he said it was on kia
