If you're wondering about the recommended oil for your 2019 Kia Optima, the 1.6 L engine should use SAE 5W-30 that is API certified. Similarly, the 2.0 L engine also requires SAE 5W-30 with API certification. For the 2.4 GDI engine, the recommended oil is SAE 5W-20 along with API certification. To note the oil capacity, the 1.6 L engine needs 4.75 US quarts, the 2.0 L engine requires 5.07 US quarts, and the 2.4 L engine also needs 5.07 US quarts. It's advisable to check your oil level weekly to ensure your engine remains in good condition and to prevent any potential damage.

For the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, it is recommended to use either 5W-20 or 5W-30. The oil capacity for these engines varies, with the 1.6L holding 4.8 quarts, the 2.0L holding 5.1 quarts, and the 2.4L holding 4.3 quarts.
