Did not check oil and locked up engine. In looking for a replacement found my engine vin 6 (8th digit) is priced higher than previous years and also later years (17, 18). Can I replace it with one of those years or tell me why I can't please.

Hello,

In the diagrams down below I have included just the first and pertenant part of a Technical Service Bulletin for your vehicle that may or may not apply to you, but I think that it would be worth investigating for you. I hope that this helps, and please get back to us with how it turns out.

Thanks,
Alex

Alex, thank you for posting this! My engine had been burning oil at a really high rate, I needed 4-5 quarts of oil every 2 weeks or sooner, the engine eventually locked up on me. Like the post above, they said the engines for this year were higher than the others. I called KIA after getting quotes for used engines with 30-day warranties for $3,500.00 to $4,800.00 and they are replacing my engine for free!

Thank you for posting this info, God really used you to answer my prayer!
