Water could be getting into the engine from the exhaust system which may not be totally drained. Remove the exhaust pipe, remove the spark plugs and turn it over with the starter. Now drain the oil, replace the plugs and try starting without the exhaust - on land - briefly. Now check the oil again.
Water can only be coming from the intake or the exhaust so just keep looking for the source. Mine took quite awhile to clear but now works fine.

There are two filters that will fit on the same threads, but the gaskets are in different positions. On one, the gasket is around the outside edge of the filter; on the other, the gasket is closest to the female threads. Check to see if you have the right filter and that the gasket is meshing up with the smooth area where it is supposed to seat. If you are not sure, clean the area around the filter mounting area and on the filter gasket itself. (Now would be a good time to look for a crack or chip in the smooth area of the mounting surface.) Then, put a thin film of oil on the smooth area just outside of the threads where the filter screws on to. Screw the filter on, take it back off, then see if the oil covers the gasket on the filter. If you still aren't sure, get some white lithium grease from any auto parts store and put it on the smooth area, then screw the filter on. Now, take it back off and see if the white lithium grease transferred onto the gasket. It should be smooth and uniform covering all of the gasket. If not, it is a mis-match and you need to get the correct filter for the vehicle. If it is, screw it back on as tight as you can get it by hand, or use an oil wrench to tighten it snugly, just about as much as you would by hand, plus a little. Don't over-do it! (It is o.k. to leave the lithium grease on, and you should always apply a thin film of oil to the gasket when ever you change oil filters anyway.) After making sure you have plenty of oil, start the car up and look underneath for any oil leakage. It would be helpful to have someone start it up while you look for a leak. If it leaks, shut it off immediately and see where the oil is coming from before it builds up too much. If you are under the car when it is started, take every safety precaution: Chock the wheels, apply the brake, keep hands, face, hair, clothing and anything else away from moving parts like the fan, pulleys, belts, etc. Good luck.

the computor sees one of the engine sensors out of range if you take the car to advanced auto parts or simmular place they can pull the codes then write back with codes and we can help you figure the problem out

it could be that the air filter housing is worn and thats why they said you needed a new one what that means is that you are getting to much air into the engine and will cause check engine light to come on i would replace that and then see if it goes off and then if not go to a auto zone and they check the light and see what it is and then go from there

PO455 is a large evaporative fuel leak. A bad fuel cap is ONE of the things that COULD be the problem. Fuel system cleaning only lightened your wallet. Reading your post is confusing. Did all this start AFTER the Valvoline Wallet Flushing? If so , they left something loose or disconnected. I would find a qualified repair shop to fix the problem, and if it has anything to do with what Valvoline did, make them pay the bill.
I guess I will start by saying I would take it back to Kia and tell them it is not fixed. They are on the hook for the cost of repairs if they failed to diagnose the problem the first time. Once you have other people work on the car, the dealer is off the hook.
It could be dirt or something in the cylinder head blocking oil pressure to the control valve. The control valve uses oil pressure to adjust cam timing.
You may need to have the engine oil flushed, or have the oil pressure checked with a mechanical gauge.
