So I drive a 2017 Kia Sportage. I have changed the oil every 5,000 miles. It has been a great car. I got a notification on the dash the other night that the right headlight was out. So on the way home last week, I bought a new headlight bulb. The next morning I planned to install it before I drove 92 miles to Orlando.
So in the morning, I had the hood up. I replaced the bulb. Then I had a very funny feeling. It was like a voice was saying, "check the oil."
Well, I have never checked the oil on this car because it goes in for regular oil changes. But I decided to listen to the voice. I checked the oil. To my astonishment, it was 4 quarts low. That means that there was only one quart still in the motor. If I kept driving it, at some point, the motor was going to blow.
I went and bought some oil. I started to do some investigating as to why this may have happened. Yesterday I replaced the PCV valve. I am checking the oil level regularly. Next week that car is going to the Kia dealer for a check up.
I am so thankful for that still small voice.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
I am, along with Sherri Swanson and Aaron Brown, leading a trip to the Holy Land January 23-February 2, 2023.
