Kia Picanto 1.2 Kappa Engine 2012 model Reliabiltiy

Hi just curious about these Kappa engines. My picanto is currently on 115k mileage.

Any one out there with higher mileage?

Also what oil do you use when servicing. Kia multifranchise uses 5W40.

Anything special or out of the ordinary with the Kappa engine?

Mine was sounding fine before a major service. Now i can hear a slight engine engine knock. So im not sure why this is. It was serviced at kia motors.

Here is a sound clip
