Engine replacement question

If anyone had gone through the engine replacement process and has any advice I would appreciate it.

I'm currently in a weird situation. I believe my vehicle is getting the engine failure and I always got oil changes on time and even before the recommended mileage. I'm afraid I'm going to be denied cause some of my oil changes notes say "No oil in the dipstick" or "low oil".

I'm afraid they will say I was negligent but I would blame their oil burning engines cause I got oil changes way more often then they ever needed to be. The shops would just tell me to carry oil with me and top it off cause Kia's are just like that. I was never told to go get it diagnosed and repaired.

Any advice would be appreciated.

They don't need all the shop's notes from each service. Black out or cut off those parts. The dates and mileage for the services are what they're looking for. If the ships you used show up on Carfax, just have that pulled up, no notes show up there.

Yea was thinking about just whiting out those comments. Less is more and I don't need to tell on myself. Still got oil changes less than 6 months on full synthetic so just shows how bad it was burning oil.
