For the 2016 Kia Optima, the 1.6 L 4Cylinder model requires 4.8 quarts of oil with a filter, while the 2.0 L and 2.4 L 4Cylinder models need 5.1 quarts with a filter. The recommended oil for the 1.6 L and 2.0 L engines is 5W-30 Synthetic, and for the 2.4 L engine is 5W-20 Synthetic. Regular oil changes are crucial to maintaining a clean engine and proper lubrication to reduce friction. It is advised to change the oil and filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or when prompted by the oil life indicator. The oil change process typically takes between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your level of experience.
