What are the types of motor oil for Hyundai cars?
Nowadays, different models of the make use mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants. All of them differ in price, contents and viscosity. Moreover, each product should meet the manufacturer specifications and be certified by API (American Petroleum Institute) and ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association). When choosing the lubricant, take into account that its API and ACEA grades should be at least equal to the one specified by the vehicle manufacturer. If your car was produced some years ago and more advanced products have appeared on the market, check whether they are interchangeable. Usually, lubricant manufacturers specify the grades instead of which the product can be used on the package.
Can I use diesel motor oil for a petrol engine on cars of this make?
It is not recommended to use lubricants for diesel motors in petrol ones. There will be no critical breakdown, however, these products differ in composition. Lubricants for diesel motors have better detergent properties and are resistant to oxidation, those for petrol motors – high shear stability. If you (for some reason) had to use diesel lubricant for your petrol engine, you will need an oil change sooner than usual. Besides, you shouldn’t rev up your engine to the maximum while driving.
How to find out which motor oil is suitable for my Hyundai car?
Information about motor oil used in the car is specified in the vehicle owner’s manual. You can also seek specialist assistance at authorised service centres.
Can I use the same motor oil for different cars of the make?
Yes, if it matches the requirements of a specific car.
Lubricants from what brands are better to use for engines on cars of this make?
Products from Mobil, Motul, Swag, Elf, Castrol, K2, Shell, Cartechnic, and some other companies are of the best quality.
When should I top up motor oil on cars of this make?
To control the engine lubricant level, these cars have a special dipstick. It has two marks: MIN and MAX. When the engine is cold, the level of lubricant should be approximately in the middle between these marks.
When should I change motor oil on Hyundai cars?
Oil change intervals for various models can differ significantly. For cars produced before 2010, it should have been changed as often as every 5.000–8.000 kilometres. On newer models, it withstands 12.000–15.000 kilometres. You’ll find more detailed information in the owner’s manual to your particular vehicle.
Is it necessary to replace the oil filter together with the lubricant on cars of this make?
Yes, this is mandatory. Otherwise, the new lubricant will deteriorate fast. Besides, the filter contains a special bypass valve. The valve opens when the filtering element is clogged and its oil flow resistance increases, thus ensuring timely lubricant supply to the engine. In this case, all the dirt trapped by the filter will enter the engine again. This may lead to increased carbon deposition and premature wear-out of the power unit elements.
