Kia Soul Oil Type: Choosing the Right Grade

When it’s time for your next Kia Soul oil change, you’ll need to select the correct grade of oil. Our service center is more than happy to help with that because our computerized database will tell us what oil is best for your model year. 

Depending on your model year, we recommend SAE 5W-20 grade as the correct Kia Soul oil type. You’ll also need to purchase anywhere from 3.8 to 4.2 quarts of oil to make sure you have enough for the Kia Soul’s oil capacity. Don’t underfill or overfill the engine!

Kia Soul Oil Filter

Before you fill the engine to your Kia Soul’s oil capacity, you’ll need to put on a new Kia Soul oil filter. We may have this exact part on hand. Why use a genuine, OEM Kia Soul oil filter? Aftermarket parts may not fit properly. Yes, they are probably cheaper. But they’re not made for your exact model. Our parts department can check to see if we have a Kia Soul oil filter that fits your SUV. 

Kia Soul Oil Type: Synthetic vs Conventional

When deciding between full synthetic or conventional oil for your Kia Soul oil type, consider the differences. Conventional motor oil is less refined than full synthetic oil. Full synthetic oil lasts longer, keeps your engine cleaner, and is specifically formulated for your SUV.

How Often Should You Have a Kia Soul Oil Change?

You’ll need a full synthetic oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Meanwhile, conventional oil needs an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. For every two full synthetic oil changes, you’ll need three to five conventional oil changes. Consult with your owner’s manual to make sure you handle the Kia Soul oil change properly.
