We have a Kia Sorento on three different occasions the Kia has burned all of oil between oil changes once around 30, changes the oil went back after driving it was fine at the next oil change it was still fine. At our last oil change at 69, it was low again changed it went back to recheck and it was two quart low. The cat also shut off at the red light but started back up with no problem. No warning lights have ever came on. Called Kia they are going to change the oil again and have us drive it miles and recheck if low again they will send info to extended warranty department to see if they will pay for the repairs. See if they will pay.
