Why is my Kia Soul making a ticking noise while idling?

Recently, my Kia Soul has been making a ticking noise while idling. It seems to be coming from the engine area. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

The ticking noise could be a sign of low oil levels. Check your oil and top it off if needed.

The noise could also be caused by a faulty timing chain. It's best to take your vehicle to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

If you recently had an oil change, it's possible that the wrong type of oil was used. Make sure your mechanic is using the recommended oil for your Kia Soul.
