Kia includes the oil service reminder light in your 2019 Soul to help you remember when it's time to service your car's oil and oil filter. But that light doesn't automatically switch off after the oil is replaced. Once that service is performed, you'll need to reset the light manually so that your Soul can resume tracking the correct intervals between oil changes.
But don't worry—it's quick and easy to turn off the oil light. All you need to do is use the buttons on your steering wheel and proceed with these steps:
Turn your Kia Soul "ON," but do not start the engine.
Locate the "Page" button on your steering wheel and use it to navigate to the "User Settings" menu.
Scroll down to "Service Interval" and then press the "Page" button.
Navigate to "Adjust Interval" and input the "Miles" and "Months" for the next oil change.
Press "Reset" followed by the "Page" button.
Scroll to "Exit" and then confirm "Yes" to finish resetting the oil reminder.
Completing this process should reset the oil light on your 2019 Kia Soul. As long as you enter the correct information, the light will reappear when the time comes to service your car again by replacing the oil and oil filter.
How often does a 2019 Kia Soul need an oil change?
Kia recommends using either SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 motor oil in your 2019 Soul and replacing both the oil and oil filter every 7,500 miles for non-turbo models and every 6,500 miles for turbocharged models. Replacing the oil in your car is one of the best and most critical forms of maintenance you can perform, and it's a crucial step toward preventing substantial engine damage
. You can learn how to perform your own oil changes by following the guidelines in your Kia owner's manual. Doing so will save you a significant amount of time and money—but don't forget to reset the oil light once you finish.
If an oil change is the only thing on your maintenance to-do list, resetting the light should be quick and hassle-free. However, if the light doesn't turn off, or if there's another item on the maintenance list, you should consider taking a trip to the Kia dealership or an independent repair shop and letting a professional take a look.
