I have posted this before about my sons 2014 KIA Rio. Not the same engine, it has the 1.6L Gamma, however, similar issues have been seen with the 2.0's.
I take very good care of my vehicles. The KIA had everything done to it, IAW manual, even more so. IMO and experience, it was not enough, which means to me it's a manufacturing/engineering issue with these engines. Car is still running at 130K but uses oil like nobody's business. No reason that should have happened with proper care, which it has had.
Oil changes were mostly full synthetic every 5K, without fail. ST, Valvoline, Havoline, QS, whatever was on sale at the time. Mostly 5W-30. A few times it got a blend of 5W-20 Conoco-Philips from KIA Dealership (factory fill and first FREE oil change.) Oil filters were either OEM, WIX GOLD, a couple Bosch and a few CHAMP Labs (COS line.) PCV valve changed at 60K and at 120K.)
Car ran great and never had a single problem up to 100K. Not even a drop of oil used. Always at full on dip stick.
After 100K, slowly started burning oil and got worse and worse. Now CAT has a code. Ran some cleaner through it and it cleared, but just a matter of time. My son can't afford another car right now, so trying to get it to last until next year.
I got my wife a 2019 Hyundai Tucson with 33K on it. Plan to get rid of that in about three years. Probably moving to a different manufacturer. MAZDA or Toyota probably.
Ironically, our Santa Fe with the OMG engines gonna blow 2.4L, went 160K without any issues (or oil usage.) Still bummed it got totaled. It was a great car.
I wish you all luck with these engines.
