2013-2019 KIA Soul Oil Life/Service Light Reset Guide

Time needed: 3 minutes

This section will show you how to reset the oil service light on this Kia Soul. So what we’re going to be doing is we’re going to be using these two buttons here on the steering wheel. So the way you do this is:

Turn the key on
With foot off the brake, press the START button twice so now the dash is on
Go to the 🔧 or ⚠️
Then what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna push the ❏ button which is like a piece of paper and you’re gonna start scrolling through until you come to 🔧 wrench icon or the ⚠️ exclamation
Display the service minder screen
If you’re not on the Service minder screen you can use the ▼ button to scroll down and find it
Push and hold the ▼ button
Now once you get there, you hold down the ▼ button to reset it

How To Adjust Service Interval

Stick the key in and turn it to the on position
Then push the ❏ button until it gets to the ⚙️ USER SETTINGS and then hit the ▼ button

Next, go down by using the ▼ button until you get to the SERVICE INTERVAL, and then press the ❏ button
From there you can select the ADJUST INTERVAL and set it up to whatever you want

So that’s pretty much how you’d reset that service interval on this Kia Soul (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 model years). If you have any questions, please let me know. If you could take a second to share this post, it helps us out, and I’d appreciate it. So thanks for tuning in, guys, and see you next time.

Well The steps you mention in your article do not cover the Kia Soul Base models.
I have a 2015 and a 2016 both base models and neither of them have a message center or buttons on the lower right side of the steering wheel or a push button ignition. So I guess my question is for these base models is there a way to change the oil life counter or is it just set at about 7500 and I have to remember to change it out every 3000 to 3500 miles?
