HISTORICAL FACTS: Mechanic reveals what shops aren t checking during oil changes and it s causing critical engine failure - The Untold Story

Most people think getting an oil change means their car is good to go. But a mechanic from Indiana is warning that this belief could be silently destroying engines, especially in certain Kia and Hyundai models.

Patrick Walsh, a mechanic from Evansville, Indiana, shared a TikTok video that has been viewed over 6,200 times. “These quick lube guys, they don’t catch it. You know, a lot of times they don’t check your oil level before they drain it. You pull in for an oil change and they … drop your oil filter, put a new oil filter on it, fill it up,” he said. “These engines don’t leak oil, most of them. Most of the ones that I see aren’t leaking any oil. They’re burning it.”
