The 2018 Kia Optima requires either SAE 5w-30 or 5w-40 fully synthetic motor oil for its 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder engine, with an oil capacity of 4.8 US quarts. You can purchase these oils at various mass retail locations, automotive stores, or online from reputable sellers. Prices per bottle range from $3.76 to $13.78. If you opt for professional service, expect to pay an extra $37 to $135 for labor. Consider buying a $1 to $4 funnel to avoid spills during the oil change. It's recommended to change the oil every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
