Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2017 Kia Soul has its oil changed?The 2017 Kia Soul’s oil filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule.

The published schedule for this model year calls for oil filter replacement every 7,500 miles. Replacing both together renews the oil and the component that captures debris. The vehicle’s service history and an inspection can also help guide routine maintenance decisions.

  • Oil filter replacement is scheduled every 7,500 miles.
  • The filter holds debris carried by engine oil.
  • Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington can perform the service.
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2017 Kia Soul?The service includes an engine-matched filter, a new drain plug gasket or washer where applicable, and a leak check after the engine runs.

The filter is selected for the engine actually fitted to the 2017 Kia Soul. The sealing component is renewed where that engine uses one, and the filter seal is checked after operation. You can schedule service at Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington.

  • Filter matched to the engine’s specification.
  • New drain plug gasket or washer where used.
  • Filter-seal inspection after the engine runs.
What happens if the oil filter on a 2017 Kia Soul is not replaced?A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without filtration.

The engine continues receiving oil, but it may no longer receive filtered oil. That change can occur quietly, which is why replacing the filter with the oil is important rather than stretching one filter across two changes. An oil-pressure warning or an engine that sounds noisier than usual warrants inspection.

  • The filter retains debris removed from engine oil.
  • A loaded filter can activate the bypass valve.
  • An oil-pressure warning should receive prompt attention.
Does a 2017 Kia Soul need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter is matched to the 2017 Kia Soul’s engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

This model uses a 1.6- to 2.0-liter inline-four engine range, or 1,591 to 1,999 cc across trims. The correct filter depends on the engine actually fitted, not simply the vehicle name. Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington can match the filter during service without relying on a one-size-fits-all choice.

  • Engine range: 1.6 to 2.0 liters.
  • Engine layout: inline-four.
  • Filter selection follows the fitted engine.
Can the oil be changed on a 2017 Kia Soul without changing the filter?The oil can be changed separately, but the manufacturer’s published schedule calls for replacing the filter every 7,500 miles.

Changing the oil without renewing a scheduled filter leaves the existing filter to continue collecting debris. Once loaded, its bypass valve can allow unfiltered oil to circulate. The vehicle’s service history and an inspection can determine whether the service is due.

  • The published filter interval is every 7,500 miles.
  • Oil carries debris toward the filter.
  • Filter replacement renews the filtration component.
