The 2012 Kia Optima was equipped with either a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine or an optional 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, both featuring a timing chain system. These chains are designed to endure at least 250,000 miles, typically lasting the lifetime of your vehicle. If you encounter an early chain failure, anticipate a cost of $100 to $250 for a replacement chain kit. Opting for a mechanic to handle the replacement may run you between $450 and $850 for parts and labor.
