When the 2017 Kia Soul is outfitted with the 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, it requires 3.6 liters (3.8 quarts) of SAE 5W-20 engine oil. If it has the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, it needs 3.8 liters (4.2 quarts) of the same oil. Kia suggests changing the oil every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, but depending on your driving habits and local conditions, you might need to do it more frequently. The typical cost for an oil change in a 2017 Soul ranges from $100 to $130, with about $40 to $60 going towards labor. Doing the maintenance yourself could save you some money. Some popular 5W-20 oil brands include Pennzoil High Mileage, Mobil 1, Amsoil, Mobil Super, Castrol Edge, and Valvoline.
