Perhaps more than a quart per 1000 miles. The car is available for inspection.  *Today was the second time that I was surprised to find that there was not enough oil to even register on the dip stick.  I don't yet know if there was any permanent damage to the engine. My experience seems to be very similar to many other people who have posted online....a possible flicker of the oil light before finding out about the oil deficiency.  It concerns me that others said that this led to their car faltering and/or freezing up while driving.  That is certainly a safety risk for the drivers/passengers and other motorists. Some people indicated that their engine was ruined and needed to be replaced.   *It was the Valvoline mechanic that told me today that there was an issue with these engines causing high oil consumption.  *I have not yet had the engine inspected.  I just emailed the Kia dealership to inform them and ask about a possible repair. Last year was the first of two instances where I experienced the low oil level.  The first time, I had noticed the oil warning light flicker when I rounded a corner a few times during a week or so. I then took it in for an oil change.  Today, I noticed one flicker and went right to Valvoline and there was almost not oil remaining.  My second issue of concern is that my headlights have randomly turned off when I am driving at night.  The first time I thought that I might have accidently touched the switch.  However, it has happened two more times that I am aware of and I am sure that I did not touch the switch.  I'm not sure if the headlights would have gone back on on their own because I turned the switch from on to off and back again and the lights went back on.  There might have been more instances which I have not bee aware of.  I just sent an email to Kia about both of these issues.  This is item has not been inspected.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
