The specified engine oil for the 2013 Kia Optima 2.4L is 5w-20 for all temperature conditions, while the approved engine oil for the 2013 Kia Optima 2.0L is 5w-30 and 5w-40 across all temperatures. The engine oil capacity for the 2013 Kia Optima is 4.9 quarts (4.6 liters), as recommended by the manufacturer for oil and oil filter replacement during servicing. When selecting oil for your vehicle, ensure that it is the correct type and avoid mixing different viscosities. Ensure the old oil is completely drained before refilling with a new oil weight like 5w-30 to 5w-40. Oil changes are crucial maintenance tasks for the engine, typically taking about 30 minutes at a service shop and costing between $30 to $60 based on the brand and type used.
