If it fits-it's OK. I know the Optima site does not list our cars. I found my red top at Autozone. Ask them bec I know they can order (yellow) for 'ya for much more $$$ of course.

The yellow top is a deep cycle battery, and red is not. If you have a lot of electronic accessories where your alternator cannot keep up, or you just want the piece of mind that your battery can become more discharged without harming it, then get a yellow top. If you don't expect to discharge the battery (like using accessories for extended periods with the car off), the red top is fine.
