What is a 2012 Kia Soul’s oil type?

I just bought a used Kia and the previous owner told me it was due for an oil change, but I forgot to ask what type of oil I should use. Can you tell me what type of oil a 2012 Kia Soul uses?

We’re sorry your
Kia’s
previous owner didn’t get the oil changed for you before handing it off, but good on you for hopping onto your vehicle’s maintenance schedule right away. Your
2012 Kia Soul’s
oil type is SAE 5W-30 full synthetic. You can use 5W-20 if you can’t find 5W-30, but you should only use it for one oil change.
Staying on top of your vehicle’s maintenance is one of the best ways to
keep your car running as long as possible
