Does the 2015 Kia Optima have a timing belt or chain?

Marie B December 15, 2020

The 2015 kia optima uses a timing chain to guide its system, not a timing belt. the chain is overdue by warranty for ten years or 150,000 miles. it is expected to have a lifetime equal to that of the vehicle. unlike a timing belt, a chain never needs to be replaced. if you do find yourself needing a new one, you should expect to pay between $ 60 and $ 276 for the part alone. if you choose to have a professional mechanic complete the replacement, you will likely pay between $ 89 and $ 230 for labor.
