Fowobi:
I have a KIA RIO 2008 model. I noticed some sound in the engine and i took it to the mechanic. He said there is no oil in the engine and i need to service it. I asked him to go ahead and service the car. The second day,the car started smoking and since then i have been thinking of what to do. Pls advise if i should ring it or buy tokunbo engine to replace it.

this should be the best advice.had this issue with my 06 Altima. my mech warned me not to ring as same issue would reoccur aftee a few months

though painful, i had to replace the engine to Toks.

the car now performs even better than when i bought it

spacestar:

for Altima the engine capacity doesn't have second hand value.
though engine replacement is still the best option for the kia Rio...if it were Honda or Toyota engine rinsing and valve seal replacement would stop the smoke. Depending on the engine block though
