The good news is that AutoZone has you covered with engine oil for Kia Optima oil changes.

Replacing Your Motor Oil

Replacing engine oil for a Kia Optima easy for a DIYer. All you need is about half an hour, jack stands, a drain pan, motor oil, and an oil filter. Start by lifting the vehicle and then place the oil drain pan underneath the vehicle. Next, unscrew the old oil filter and install the new one. While you're changing the filter remove the drain plug and let the oil drain for a few minutes. Then, replace the filter and oil drain plug. The last step is to add new motor oil.
