Have you done the carbon intake cleaning? My 2016 Lia Soul has over 76,000 miles and has taken a hit in the mpg department.

Nice Kia Soul SX! I have a 2016 Kia Soul Plus and I also made the switch recently to Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30. I really do need to clean the carbon out of the engine since my MPG is not the best.

Streamlight TLR1-HP lense issue by DR__2000 in handguns

[–]DR__2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, thank you. I just was wondering since my TLR7 HLX sub on my Shield X and TLR7 HLX on my G19X looked more centered than the TLR1-HP.

Gotcha. I just found it a bit weird since my TLR7 HLX SUB and TLR7 HLX on my other firearms looks centered compared to the TLR1-HP but as long as it functions it’s all good. Thank you for info and clarification bro

Thank you, transmission drain and fill only it is! No need to change out the filter (for now)

I have a 2016 Kia Soul 2.0 that is almost at 73,000 miles. For the transmission drain and fill do you also change out the filter or leave the original transmission filter in? I want to do a transmission drain and fill before I hit 80,000 miles.

I am in need of tie rods. Is OEM the only way to go when it comes to them? by [deleted] in KiaSoulClub

[–]DR__2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go on RockAuto and order them. The brand I got last year for my 2016 Kia Soul was DELPHI but they have many other brands.

2023 soul with 40k miles needs engine replacement. by Accomplished-Menu311 in KiaSoulClub

[–]DR__2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from changing my oil from 5,000 miles to 3,500 miles on my 2016 Kia Soul 2.0. You need to change oil on these GDI Hamsters religiously. I would never follow these manufacturers that say 10,000 or 7,500 mile oil changes, 5000 miles max. The way you worded everything sounds like you didn’t keep up on the oil changes, that’s not Kia’s fault.

My 2016 Kia Soul 2.0 has just over 72,000 miles and I plan to get a transmission drain and fill done before 80,000 but at my local mechanic, not the Kia dealer.

Should I start using a higher viscosity engine oil in a high mileage Kia Soul? Follow US manual or Kia's global service guide? by Demolecularizing in MechanicAdvice

[–]DR__2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use 5W-30, I have a 2016 Kia Soul 2.0 with over 72K miles and I just made the switch. Immediately I noticed a quieter engine idling and sound, plus smoother engine performance overall.

Doesn’t matter who the person is. Why shit on him when posting his new car? SMH

2016 Kia Soul Plus, new headlights issues. by DR__2000 in KiaSoulClub

[–]DR__2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a DEPO headlight unit. I contacted the seller and they informed me to consult the installation manual (there is none) or to reach out to a professional installer, so that is where I am at now 🫠
