600k Kia went through 9 engines

[PF52]

Car #3 17 years and fresh from a 1000 mile round trip and odo at 80,000 miles now.

80,000 miles in 17 years? Heck, I probably walk nearly that much.

My 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 v8 has 83,000 miles

 

[The Critic]

Dealership/owner puts cheap 0W-water oil in, the car runs hot and hard for miles and miles and the weak rod bearings fail. It's no surprise. Hyundai/Kia has been building substandard engines since forever.

That was the era of 5W20 conventional.
