Kia Optima Maintenance Schedule
Just because Kia stopped building the Optima doesn’t mean it deserves anything less than factory-correct care. Below is the standard interval structure Kia uses across its gasoline lineup, along with what we’ll want to verify for your specific car.
7,500mi — routine oil & rotation cycle
15,000mi — cabin air filter (first)
30,000mi — engine air filter
48,000mi — brake fluid
2020final US model year
10yr/ 100k-mi powertrain warranty
Standard Gasoline Maintenance Intervals
see Owner’s Manual Since the Optima is no longer in production, we haven’t verified each figure below against an Optima-specific owner’s manual. Instead, what’s shown reflects Kia’s documented gasoline-engine service pattern — the same structure that holds across Kia’s current gas-powered lineup — applied here by analogy. Because spark plugs and the first coolant change shift the most between engines and generations, those two rows carry an explicit flag. Bring your VIN or owner’s manual on your next visit to our Hattiesburg service bay and we’ll pin down your exact schedule at no cost.
About the Kia Optima
Final US Model Year: 2020
Kia Optima Discontinued Legacy Model
The Optima remained on sale in the US through model year 2020, after which Kia simply rebranded the nameplate as the K5 for 2021 rather than replacing it with something new. Regardless of model year, every Optima still on the road qualifies for full factory-scheduled service right here at Dean McCrary Kia Hattiesburg.

Optima Maintenance FAQs
Is the Kia Optima Discontinued?⌄
It is, at least under that name — Kia sold the Optima in the US through model year 2020, then carried the same nameplate forward as the K5 starting in 2021, rather than launching an unrelated replacement.
Can Our Hattiesburg Team Still Service My Optima?⌄
Definitely — our factory-trained Hattiesburg technicians work on every Optima model year with genuine Kia parts, regardless of the fact that it’s no longer sold new.
Is My Optima Still Under Warranty?⌄
Coverage under the 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty starts from the original in-service date and applies to the first owner only, so whether yours still qualifies comes down to age, mileage, and ownership history — have us look up your VIN to find out. See factory warranty for details.
