Hyundai Elantra Recommended Oil

So, what is the right Hyundai Elantra oil type? The Hyundai Elantra can take either conventional oil or synthetic oil. If you aren’t familiar with the types of oil, conventional oil is the most common oil type used on cars in Macon and is composed of unrefined crude oil and requires changing about every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. On the other hand, synthetic oil costs more than conventional oil, as it is processed and refined with additives, making it last longer than conventional oil, with an interval of 10,000 miles before each change.

So which is the recommended Hyundai Elantra oil type? We at Hyundai of Milledgeville recommended synthetic oil given the Hyundai Elantra’s high performance. More specifically, the oil grades that you should use for your Hyundai Elantra include 5W-20 and 5W-30. You can get both of these grades as either conventional or synthetic.

Why these oils? To put it simply, 5W-20 or 5W-30 has the density your Hyundai Elantra requires for the oil to sit comfortably between the moving engine parts. 0W-15 or 10W-40 oil will result in the oil being too thin, thus being unable to successfully protect the parts of your vehicle’s engine.
