What is the Best Oil for Hyundai Cars?

If you’ve brought home a new Hyundai sedan in recent months, the last thing probably on your mind is taking your vehicle in for an oil change at a shop in Dandan. Even if your Hyundai vehicle is brand new, regular oil changes help to keep your vehicle’s engine functioning and are an important component of your Hyundai’s maintenance schedule. Hyundai sedans can take either conventional or synthetic oil. If you use conventional oil for your Hyundai, you should aim to change your Hyundai’s oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. And while it’s more expensive, you can go longer between oil changes when you use synthetic oil, which needs to be changed every 7,000 to 10,000 miles. We delve deeper into the recommended Hyundai Accent and Hyundai Sonata oil type below, so you’ll know what exactly to get the next time you choose to do an oil change yourself! We also have an outstanding team of service technicians that can do the oil change for you at our Saipan shop to preserve your vehicle’s performance for years to come on the roads in Koblerville. 

Oil Types for Popular Hyundai Sedans

We’ve established that Hyundai sedan’s can take either conventional or synthetic oil, but if you’re willing to shell out a little more cash, it’s better to choose a synthetic grade oil. Putting the synthetic oil vs. conventional oil debate aside, you’ll want to know the exact oil type that your Hyundai sedan takes:

• Hyundai Elantra Oil Type: 5W-20 or 5W-30
• Hyundai Sonata Oil Type: 5W-20 or 5W-30
• Hyundai Accent Oil Type: 5W-20 or 5W-30

Hopefully you’ve picked up on the obvious pattern: the recommended oil type for your Hyundai sedan is either 5W-20 or 5W-30. For more specific information on your Hyundai’s oil type or what brand to get, consult your vehicle’s owner manual or contact our service department.

Understanding Oil Types

Now that you know the recommended Hyundai oil type, you might be wondering, “What do these numbers mean?” The number before the W rates the viscosity of the oil at lower temperatures. The lower the number, the thinner the oil is during colder temperatures. You’ll notice that the numbers preceding the W are lower which may seem like a “bad” thing, but this is actually good. Thinner oil comes in handy whenever cold temperatures arise in Kagman, which allows for your Hyundai to perform better in unfavorable weather. The number after the W describes the viscosity of the oil during fair temperatures, so again, the lower the number, the thinner the oil.
