The 2014 Kia Soul requires 5w-20 oil. It is essential to change the oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, to prevent engine issues. Using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal engine performance. Neglecting oil changes can lead to engine failure, indicated by a burning smell and poor gas mileage. If this issue is not addressed promptly, it could result in a potential engine explosion. Additionally, you may hear knocking noises from the engine, signaling a need for maintenance.
