If I were you, I would not change oil more often than the "severe" service interval for the car (what is that, 3000 miles?) or every 6 months, whichever comes first. However, changing out that original oil real quick was a good idea.

Variable Valve Timing Control and check engine light by bifph

My 2006.5 Kia Optima has had its check engine light come on at 40,000 miles due to the Variable Valve Timing Control (VVTC) according to my mechanic.
 
Has anyone here had a similar experiance? How was it eventually solved?

Or just take it to your friendly neighborhood Kia dealer and have them fix it, since it's still under warranty.

30k Miles service Replaces Spark Plugs by epekarik

Hello,
 
Most of today's cars call for plug replacement at 100k but the Optima 2006.5+ calls for every 30k. Is it because the plug type that is installed at the factory and a better plug would go farther, or is it the design of the engine?
 
\thnx

I've always suspected that the high maintenance costs are there to offset the cost of the warranty.

Yes, you have a cabin filter and your fuel filter is in the tank.
 
As mentioned on the Kia forum most of your questions are answered in your owners manual &/or in the online service manual.

The cabin air filter is behind the glove box, and the fuel filter is in the gas tank.

take a look at my '08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS parked next to a new world order 2006.5 and/on Kia Optima. I had just parked outside a Tucson Barnes and Noble to read up on the latest car magazines when the good inpiration hit me to grab my BlackBerry cellphone and snap a pic of these two attractive babies.
 

 
The two cars have very different body designs but I dig them both.
 
I like the new world order Optima's and the Optima was on my finalist's list of possibilities before I snagged this '08 Lancer GTS at Avondale Mitsubishi of Avondale, AZ (located about 9 miles west of Phoenix). Lovin' this Arizona sun and lack of snow and ice, gentlemen.
