★ Top Answer
In the 2013 Kia Optima, a timing chain is used instead of a belt. Remember to replace your air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. The coolant should be changed at the 60,000-mile mark. For spark plugs, typically replace them every 100,000 miles, unless using copper ones which should be changed every 30,000 miles. Engine issues may arise, such as oil leaks that require immediate attention. Keep an eye out for loose gaskets and promptly tighten them. If a spark plug pops off, it can cause engine troubles. Excessive oil consumption may necessitate more frequent oil changes. Engine overheating is a serious issue that can lead to fires and even the car exploding, so monitor the temperature carefully.
