What is the recommended oil type for a Kia Soul?

I recently bought a Kia Soul and I'm not sure what type of oil to use for the oil change. Can you give me some recommendations?

It is recommended to use synthetic motor oil with a viscosity grade of 5W-30 for a Kia Soul. This type of oil offers better performance and protection for your engine.

You can also use a synthetic blend oil with a viscosity grade of 5W-30. This type of oil is a blend of synthetic and conventional oil and provides good protection while also being more affordable.

Using a higher viscosity grade oil, like 10W-30, can be beneficial if you live in a hot climate or frequently drive in high temperatures. However, make sure to check your owner's manual for the recommended oil grade for your specific driving conditions.
