Berkeley Bob’s highly recommends frequent oil maintenance service on the Kia Soul every 5,000 miles or sooner. The Korean designed engine can be prone to problems, it’s advised to check oil levels regularly as the engine has a tendency to burn oil, leaving the oil level low in between oil changes and definitely should not be driven with dirty, sludgy oil. To prevent costly engine repairs keep the engine oil topped up, fresh and remember to have the filter replaced every time the oil is changed. Frequent service not only sustains engine life, but can improve performance and mileage as well.

When you’re ready for service give Berkeley Bob’s the opportunity to show you superior customer service and repair. All of our maintenance services include our multi-point digital vehicle inspection. We email or text you our findings and after you’ve have time to look over the results, our trained service advisor will call to answer your questions. Most of the time everything is normal but when it’s not we assess the urgency, make notations, take a photo or video if helpful and make recommendations for service or repair. These inspections make it possible to find and identify concerns before they develop into large repairs, which can be expensive and time consuming.

While Kia Soul is generally a good vehicle, some years are more reliable than others. If you’re in the market for one, do some research first. Consumers complain the 2.0 liter engine Souls made in Alabama have more problems than the earlier Korean made Souls with the 1.6 liter engine. Fortunately, the most recent years 2022 and 2023, have not reported many concerns.
