Not all Kia Optima models with 6-cylinder engines use a timing chain; it depends on the specific engine type and model year. While many modern Kia engines, including some V6 options, utilize timing chains for their durability and low maintenance, some earlier models or specific engines may use timing belts. It's essential to consult the owner's manual or manufacturer specifications for the exact engine type in a particular Kia Optima.
