What the service covers on a Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid

An oil change begins with draining the used engine oil and refilling the engine with the oil grade and capacity specified for the applicable Kia Optima Plug-In Hybrid. The service also includes a new oil filter, which helps support clean oil circulation through the engine. After the replacement, the oil life monitor is reset so the vehicle’s maintenance reminder reflects the completed visit. Underhood fluid levels are checked as part of the service as well.
