Why is my Kia Soul's engine overheating?

I have been driving my Kia Soul for a few years now and recently I have noticed that the engine has been overheating. I am worried about potential damage and would like to know what could be causing this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is important to first check your coolant levels and make sure they are at the appropriate level. If they are low, refill them and monitor the levels to see if there is a leak. If the levels remain stable, then there may be a problem with your cooling system.

Another potential issue could be a faulty radiator or radiator fan. If the fan is not functioning properly, it cannot effectively cool the engine and may result in overheating. Have a mechanic check the fan and radiator for any issues.

It is also important to regularly change your engine oil to ensure proper lubrication and cooling. Old or dirty oil can cause the engine to overheat. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change schedule.
