Why is my Kia Sorento's engine making a ticking sound?

I have noticed that my Kia Sorento's engine is making a ticking sound whenever I start the car or accelerate. What could be causing this and how can I resolve it?

The ticking sound in the engine of your Kia Sorento could be due to low oil levels or dirty oil. Make sure to check the oil level and quality and change it if necessary.

Another possible reason for the ticking sound could be a loose or damaged engine component, such as a valve lifter or camshaft. It is important to have a professional mechanic inspect and repair these parts.

Sometimes, the ticking sound can also occur due to an issue with the fuel injectors. It is recommended to have the fuel system checked and cleaned regularly to prevent this issue.
