Yes — for the 2013 Kia Optima equipped with a 2.0L T-GDI, this OEM repair manual does cover:
- Engine removal and installation procedures — step-by-step (what to disconnect first, torque specs, lifting points, etc.)
- Engine replacement details — how the engine is separated from sub-assemblies, mounts, harnesses, cooling, exhaust, etc.
As for the engine oil and break-in guidance, the manual includes the factory-recommended oil viscosity and specification for that turbo engine (Kia usually calls for a specific grade that meets their spec — you’ll find the exact weight and standard in the engine lubrication section).
It also covers engine break-in info — things like:
- What oil to start with after install
- How many miles/kilometers to run before your first oil change
- Any cautions about load/speed during the initial period
So yeah — it’s the OEM manual that applies to your 2013 2.0L T-GDI Optima, and you’ll find both the mechanical replacement procedures and the engine oil/break-in details in there 👍🏻
