My wife and I recently bought a 2010 Kia Soul, our first new car. So we've never had to deal with the dealer before. Im just wondering why our owners manual states that our first service is not due until 6 months or 7500 miles, but our dealer is trying to tell us its everything 3000? Besides the obvious fact that theyre trying to make more money. Just want to make sure we are correct if we stick to the manual. She took it in for a recall problem at about 4300 miles and they told her it shouldve been changed at 3k, the first service was free so I told her to go ahead with it. But they marked it as needing another one at 6000 still ha! So now we get a letter for the special offer of $49.95 for the 6k service. Im guessing they just send out a letter to everyone everything 3k. I dont see how its good business practice for the dealer to basically try and scam their customers into getting work done twice as often as nesc.
Also, I could find it in the manual yet, but is this 7500 mile oil change interval on standard oil and not synthetic?
