Default 07 Optima Repair Manuals????

I've got an 06.5, which I quickly learned was essentially an 07. It seems noone makes a repair manual for this car.

I've called the dealership, who referred me to Kia, who referred me to their publications department, who informed me that it doesn't exist. All they have is what's on Kiatechinfo.com, which I can't make heads or tails of.

Does anyone know of any type of repair manual that may exist out there? I'm guessing my best bet at this point would be another car that happens to use the same 2.7L engine.

Thanks for the info. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong on the kiatech site. I didn't click "shop". Duh....

At first glance I thought that was to purchase stuff. No wonder I couldn't find any info!!!
