What should I do if my Kia Rio's engine is making a strange noise?

I just bought a Kia Rio and noticed that the engine is making a strange noise. What could be causing this and what should I do?

It is likely that the noise is coming from a loose belt or a faulty pulley. You should take your car to a certified mechanic to have it checked and repaired if necessary.

Check your oil level and make sure it is at the appropriate level. Low oil can cause engine noise.

If you recently got an oil change, it is possible that the wrong type of oil was used. Make sure to use the recommended oil for your Kia Rio. A wrong oil type can also cause engine noise.

In some cases, the noise could be a sign of a more serious issue with the engine. It is important to get it checked by a professional as soon as possible to avoid further damage and costly repairs. Don't ignore strange noises coming from your car.
