2018 Kia Soul + 2.0 GDI
115,797 Miles
2,467 Miles on oil
Mobil Full Synthetic 5W30 (not M1) with Hyundai/Kia filter
Oil checked after engine warmed up to normal operating temperature and then shut down for 5 minutes, per Kia specifications. Level was about 2mm above the "Add" mark.
Engine was given the BG EPR 109 treatment by my Kia dealer at 108K after I raised concerns about oil consumption and fuel dilution. This oil isn't nearly as sooty as normal for 2500 miles and doesn't smell of fuel, but oil consumption hasn't improved. Added 24 ounces of Mobil Full Synth today. Will have PCV changed at my next service.
Contemplating having an upcoming oil change done at my Ford dealer, just to see if Motorcraft oil and an FL-810A filter makes an appreciable difference.
