The 2015 Kia Optima requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 5.1 quarts. This oil helps keep your engine running smoothly by lubricating internal parts and removing dirt and impurities. The cost of an oil change for your Optima ranges from $50 to $60 for labor and $80 for parts. It is recommended to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Signs that indicate it's time for an oil change include engine ticking, transmission issues, idling shake, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and the Check Engine or Oil Change indicator lights turning on.
