My 2006 automatic Kia Rio LX recently just died on me while I was driving. I'll admit I was a little overdue on an oil change as well. I checked it, it was dead empty so I filled it back up with the same synthetic oil I always use. But the car still doesn't start. It turns over really slowly, like it's not catching on something. It turns about 5 or 6 times slowly before it just quits.
My father and I believe it to be the starter. We followed the positive battery line and it led us behind the engine block. I'm no mechanic, but having it attached to the engine block in an inaccessible position seems unusual. We don't have the correct tools to be able to drop the engine safely to check. I was thinking about just folding and sending it in to our local shop.
Any help?
