New 2021 Kia Soul 1.6 turbo, what mileage for first oil change?

Make sure whatever oil you putting the engine carries the API rating of "SN." The "S stands for "spark" (gas engines), and the "N" means it's formulated for turbocharged engines. Follow the owner's manual for oil weight recommendations.

Lol, wut?

You post some doozies on here, and when asked about them you just post more and don't answer the questions. Are you just a troll?

Up until the 70's or 80's if I recall, European manufactures said to do the first change at 1,000 miles and the next one at 3,000 miles. The engine is going to wear more and shed more particles into the oil when it's new as the mating parts break in. I would still do that as cheap insurance since the engine is still basically the same.
