The 2012 Kia Optima with a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine requires 4.90 US quarts of either 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil for top performance. It's recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months with fully synthetic oil, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic products offer advantages over conventional ones, such as improved lubrication between moving parts, longer time between maintenance intervals, and better performance in harsh weather conditions. Using oil with a lower viscosity, like 5W-20, helps it flow better in cold weather, effectively coating engine parts for enhanced protection against friction and corrosion. A typical oil change and filter replacement service costs between $113 and $125 for parts and labor.
