  1. Soul General Discussion (Gen 2)
    So I take advantage of this free multi-point safety inspection offered at this Kia dealership. Total suggested and immediately needed work to be done? Near $3,000 worth of work. Okay LOL, I’m not surprised. It being a dealership which I’ve never been to before and all. Even though a year ago I...
  2. Soul General Discussion (Gen 3)
    Hi everyone! I have a Kia Soul Wave 2021 at 2990 miles. In the dealership they said that I most change my oil every 3 months/3k miles but in my manual says I have to do it every 7.5K miles. So my questions are, can I drive my Soul without problem until my appointment to change the oil or should...

    Changing my spark plugs today. Dealer recommended changing them at 164k km's. I currently have 92k on the car but I wanted to change them due to old habits. I'm glad I did. I could have gone another 10k-20k on the originals, but meh, I was bored.

    Have done some searching about DIY fluid changes on the 2.0L transmission and from what I see it requires more energy than I have, being in the senior cit zone. Coming up on 30K and being the recent second owner, I'd feel better going forward with clean fluid. Stopped at Kia Svc Dept today...

    I went to my local Kia dealership for my first oil change and I asked for a tire rotation. The guys says to me: "Ok, just so you know that will cost $99.95". I'm thinking to myself: Wow, that's the most expensive oil change and tire rotation I've ever heard of. I agree to the cost (because what...
  8. Soul Problems (Gen 2)
    Hi all, My wife just purchased a 2019 Exclaim with the Tech package. The One Touch Turn Signal now blinks 3 times. She wanted to change it to 5 or 7. Since I can change it on my 2017 Optima, I figured it would be no problem. Well, I couldn't find the menu for it in Settings. Is...

    My girlfriend says she gets a slight miss sometimes on her 2015 Soul Base. It has 62k miles on it and I keep it maintained. So far its just required front brake pads, just put 3rd set of tires on, and air filters. I googled and searched the forum, but I only got one thread that popped up...

    It was time to change the oil on my wife's Soul. I created a video for my YouTube channel that demonstrates the steps to change the engine oil on a 2017 Kia Soul 2.0L engine. In the "Description" section of the YouTube video, I have a list of steps with clickable times that let you jump to...

    My 2012 Kia Soul + 2.0 L needs new steering (MDPE) coupler. I have bought the coupler from dealer and tried to replace it myself. I have watched some videos of Sonata and Forte replacements.. but could not find any for Kia Soul. I have removed 2 nuts under the steering but could not drop the...

    Some background - I recently purchased a '19 Base MT and drove away knowing I did not get a luxury car. So I am not complaining about what I got, but I am looking to see what can and can't be done and so forth. I am fairly handy, don't mind almost anything DIY and have a decent background in car...

    We brought in our 2017 Base with 8,000 miles for its first service at the dealer in April. No charge for an oil change and inspection. I noticed they recommend 5,000 mile oil changes on all 2013 post Kias and that they used Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic. The manual makes no note of synthetic vs...

    I always work on my own stuff, including stuff as involved as engine removal. When i got the Soul though, I wanted a car for my wife that I did not have to work on in ANY way. We had old Volvos for a long time that always needed something, whether it was little or big. My own diesel truck is...

    I just drove a brand new Soul+ home....20 miles on the odometer..I'm an oil change freak, so I looked under the car and see that plastic panel. It has an access for the oil filter, and an access for the drain plug. The drain plug access is missing....I think....it's just an open space. I...
