Does not have a belt but a timing chain in 2007.
The 2013 Kia Optima has a timing chain. All Kias have switched to equip timing chains versus belts.
The 2008 Kia Optima 4 cylinder equipped with a timing chain will normally last the life of the engine and is changed when the engine is rebuilt. The 2.7 Liter V6 is equipped with a timing belt which MUST be changed every 60,000 miles. Warning the V6 is an interference engine.
60000 miles
Every 105,000 miles.
If the engine runs at all, the timing belt is not "broke."
