A woman named Ebony Thomas purchased a used Hyundai and had the oil and filters changed shortly after, with the car appearing to be in good condition. However, just two months later, she noticed the engine warning light was on and discovered that the oil level indicator was almost completely dry. She shared her experience on TikTok, where it gained over 126,000 views. Thomas questioned how the vehicle could consume so much oil so quickly, especially since it had only traveled a few thousand kilometers. She publicly contacted Hyundai, asking for an explanation. Another similar case involving a Hyundai from the same model year was also reported, where the owner found no oil on the dipstick after driving around 3,200 km. Hyundai responded by advising customers with issues to contact their customer service for assistance. The incident serves as a reminder to buyers of used cars to regularly check oil levels, particularly during the first few months of ownership.
