The 2008 Kia Optima is equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and require less frequent replacement than timing belts. However, it's still important to maintain regular engine service to ensure the longevity of the timing chain and other engine components. Always consult the owner's manual or a professional mechanic for specific maintenance recommendations.
