What should I do when my Kia Sorento engine starts to make strange noises?

I have noticed that my Kia Sorento's engine has been making strange noises recently. It sounds like a knocking or ticking sound. What could be causing this and how do I address it?

Hi John, strange engine noises can be a sign of a few different issues. It's best to get your car checked by a professional to accurately diagnose the problem.

Hello John, the strange noises could be due to low oil levels or dirty oil. Make sure to check your oil and get an oil change if needed. If the problem persists, it's best to bring your car to a mechanic.

Hey John, another possible cause of the noises could be worn out bearings in your engine. This is a more serious issue and should be addressed by a mechanic as soon as possible.
