★ Top Answer
For the 2017 Kia Optima, you should use either 5w-30 or 5w-40 oil and the engine requires 4.8 quarts for the 1.6 L 4-cylinder engine. It is important to change your oil when necessary, typically around every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to change it can lead to engine problems. Using high-quality oil is essential for smooth engine operation. Issues related to the oil may arise eventually, such as a strong burning odor, which should be addressed promptly to avoid potential dangers like engine failure. Poor-quality oil can cause the engine to fail, resulting in decreased gas mileage and the emergence of knocking noises from the engine.
