What owners wrote
I owned a 2014 santa fe sport. It was blowing black smoke out of the exhaust. I would bring it in for an oil change and they would tell me the oil was bone dry. They could not see where the oil leak was, I had no spots in my driveway. The low oil light never came on. The time between oil change and no oil left was about 3 weeks. I brought it in, they told me I had an oil clog and needed a new motor. I filled it with oil and drove it home.
