The 2010 Kia Optima requires SAE 5w-20 full synthetic oil, with a capacity of 4.8 quarts for the 2.4L engine. Oil plays a crucial role in keeping your engine's internal components lubricated and free from dirt and impurities, ensuring optimal vehicle performance. The cost of an oil change for your Optima typically ranges from $50 to $60 for labor and $80 to $100 for parts. It is recommended to schedule an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Signs that your car needs an oil change while driving include engine noise, ticking sounds, transmission issues, idling vibrations, and decreased fuel efficiency. External indicators include smoke from the exhaust and oil leaks where the vehicle is parked.
