When to Change 2024 Kia Soul Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Kia Soul’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Kia recommends having your 2024 Kia Soul’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Soul may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Kia if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Kia Soul. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2024 Kia Soul motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Kia has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2024 Kia Soul vehicles.

During your oil change service, a technician will change your Soul's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Soul by considering your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
