The engine blew up. I have all of my oil change receipts and gave them to west herr kia, and per kia west herr, kia denied covering the blown engine because the piston went through the engine with great force. This happened at approximately 110,000 miles. West herr kia quoted 10,400 to replace the engine. Please let me know if you would like copies of the oil changes. I won't be able to upload all. Of them.
