For the 2001 kia optima I have found the oil filter between the front passenger side tire and the engine. You can see it if you turn the wheels all the way to the left, although it helps if the filter cover is a bright color. To change it I had to remove the tire.
4 cylinder 2.4 litters uses 10W40
'i have the same car. check the oil you probably need some or you need to get your oil changed. maybe take it for a check up! hope this helps! my kia is always giving me problems!'
get it out from the plug under neat and add it on the same place where you check the transmission oil (where the stick is)
The auto parts store tonight sold me 4 quarts for the oil change... Optima 2001 4 banger... The actual amount of oil needed for an 1999 - 2003 Optima 4 cyl. is 4.5 qts. and 4.75 qts. for the V6. They use the same size oil filter.
or mopil xhp that's very good the 2003 kia optima uses 5w-30
Depends on the oil filter you are looking for ;) They vary quite a bit. And well, you didn't include a year, or model.If you are into FRAM (available most anywhere, including most Walmarts), here's what I came up for the 2008 Kia Optima:EXTRAGUARD PH9688TOUGHGUARD TG9688
The oil filter is under the car, near to the oil drain plug - it is accessible, no covers, etc need to be removed.
WE recommend 5W30
At the bottom of the engine block.
