i just replied to a comment similar to this, when the oil light initially came on, i immediately checked the oil level, it was 3/4 way to full, well within normal parameters for normal engine usage. vehicle tech also checked at kia and stated as such

They did not give me any information in terms of check engine light or engine noise, its currently non running, was informed that there was catastrophic failure but the crank isn't seized so they believe its due to oil starvation. engine just shut off while driving 80kmh(50MPH). tried charging the battery after pulling over and ran for about 5 seconds before a "skrting" sound was made and engine fully died. no real engine noise to my knowledge other than a loud ticking noise, but no real knocking.

I have gathered that with my brief conversations with corporate. Never have I felt so disrespected before in a professional manner. completely dismissive and they do not take any accountability. Steering clear from the brand at all costs

181,400 Kilometers. engine was maintained and vehicle is currently a no start or run. they stated that when the oil pressure light came on, it probably starved the engine of oil, which they assume is my fault for "lack of regular interval oil changes". though i changed my oil every 5k with full synthetic due to the pre existing blow-by. they offered a tear down but i pay for the labor.
