Had it towed to kia of rivergate. 9/5/18 they ask for all my oil change receipts, which i don't have because i get them where ever i have a coupon for.(i am currently trying to back track and get the records) mac, at the dealership) tells me there is "sludge" and this only happens when the maintenance was not done.
