Description of the problem | I own a 2014 kia soul + model. Today while i was driving around 35 mph down a local city street, i started to lose power in traffic. I thought i had some bad gas or something. About a minute or two later, the oil light illuminated. I got a little nervous while driving, so i threw on my hazard lights. I was about a 1/4 mile from the nearest service station (the closest place to evaluate the situation). I proceeded cautiously, driving around 15 mph, to the service station when i started to hear a tapping sound. I became overly concerned then. I made it to the service station, popped the hood, and checked the dip stick. The oil appeared to be at the proper level. Just to be on the safe side, i purchased a quart of oil and poured half of the quart into the car. I got back into the car and started it up. It was still tapping. I was located about a mile and a half from kia atlanta south. So i decided to try to drive to the dealership. Upon pulling out of the service station |
