The 2016 Kia Soul requires fully synthetic motor oil with SAE 5w-20 or 5w-30 viscosity for its 1.6-liter, inline-4 engine, holding 4 US quarts. You can buy these oils at various retail locations, automotive stores, or online from reputable sellers, costing between $2.27 and $11.22 per bottle. If you opt for a professional oil change service, expect to pay an additional $37 to $117 for labor. Consider purchasing a funnel for $1 to $3 to minimize spills. It is recommended to get an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months.
