Should I use synthetic or conventional oil in my Kia Soul?

I'm debating between using synthetic or conventional oil for my Kia Soul. Which one is the better option?

In my experience, synthetic oil tends to provide better overall engine protection and performance compared to conventional oil. However, it can be more expensive. It ultimately depends on your budget and driving habits.

I've used conventional oil in my Kia Soul for years without any issues. It's a more budget-friendly option and I haven't noticed any major differences in performance. But if you want the best for your car, synthetic may be the way to go.

I always recommend using the type of oil that is recommended by the manufacturer. In this case, Kia recommends using synthetic oil in the Kia Soul. It may cost a bit more, but it's worth it for optimal performance and engine longevity.
