Micro, can't imagine that the engine isn't completely shot. Even a hundred feet with 3.5 quarts low is more than enough to destroy the mains and rods.

A PCV valve should NOT fail after 25k miles on a brand new engine - but when they DO fail, your entire crankcase can get drained in just a few miles. You must have been blowing a heavy cloud of black smoke (burning that oil) for quite a while. Yes, the convertor could very well (probable) have also been 'carboned' up, and it won't be cleanable.
PCV valve should have been good for a min of 50k miles - sounds like something else went bad that caused it to go out so catastrophically. Either way, it's a manufacturing fault, and fully the responsibility of the dealer to rectify under that 100k warranty.

Just my two cents worth.

Dunno. The head mechanic told me locally that there is a lot of noise coming from the underside of the BLOCK.

They flushed the engine and changed the oil and filter but it still sounds bad.

I had a tow truck come pick it up and take it to Hyundai Service department about 20 miles away.

They don't want to mess with it as it should be covered by the 100,000 mile warranty. I guess we'll see.
