I have a 2017 Kia Optima Lx 2.4 GDI 197,000 km with the same issue which is burning excessive oil. You need to make sure you use OEM oil filter on your car because I have experienced it myself by putting high end expensive oil filters which still leaked even though they fit perfect.
Pros: OEM filter prevents leaks
Cons: expensive filters leaked
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Mileage: 197000 km
Just swapped all four plugs in my 2013 Kia optima EX 2.4l for ngk iridium’s, still had the original sensor plugs in at 91k so honestly not sure how I didn’t have any misfires but have had a rough idle
Pros: fixed rough idle
Cons: plugs looked cooked
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Mileage: 91000 km

Had my engine replaced in a 2012 optima with only 82600 miles when it died. I had to buy upper and lower radiator hoses, serpentine belt and a starter. Kia cost was $1057.00. O’Reillys cost was $363.00.
Pros: cheaper at O'Reilly's
Cons: Kia cost was high

Cons: gap was incorrect
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Part number: XP 6203
I loved my DWS06s... they were loud though. I have General GMAX AS-05s on the Optima. They are quiet with the stock suspension, but not as grippy and wonderful as the DWS06s
Pros: quiet with stock suspension
Cons: less grippy
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
They are trash.

I have some Nexen tires on a Kia Optima and all four are "out of round" with only 17k Miles. Like riding on square block. Crappy tires!
Pros: null
Cons: out of round, crappy
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Mileage: 17000 km
These tires have 17k miles on them in the city and are completely useless now. It feels like I am driving in my Jeep offroad. The car literally pitches and rolls at low speeds; at highway speeds it vibrates badly.
Cons: useless, terrible vibration
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Mileage: 27359 km
