The 2011 Kia Optima is equipped with either a 2.0 L 4-cylinder or a 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine, both requiring 4.9 quarts of oil with a filter. Recommended oil types include SAE 5W-40 FS Synthetic for the 2.0 L 4-cylinder and 5W-20 Synthetic or SAE 5W-30 for the 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine. Oil is crucial for engine cleanliness and lubrication to reduce friction between moving parts. It's advisable to change the oil every 7,500 miles in the Optima, along with replacing the filter at the same time. The estimated labor costs for an oil change range from $20 to $30.

I recently installed a new catalytic converter, and I'm contemplating trading in my car due to potential engine bearing wear at 180,000 miles. The vehicle is currently in good condition.
