Other than gasoline, one of the most important fluids in your vehicle is motor oil. Without the proper supply of motor oil, your engine will seize up, leading to extensive repairs at the service department at Conicelli Hyundai. In addition to having the correct amount of oil, the correct type of oil is necessary to keep your engine operating properly. When it comes to Hyundai vehicles, most models require either 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil. You can find the specific viscosity requirements for your specific model on the oil fill cap under the hood.
Further Requirements
Beyond the viscosity rating, there are a few more things to keep in mind as you select motor oil for your vehicle. One is whether you should choose synthetic oil or conventional oil. While both types of oil will work in Hyundai vehicles, synthetic oil offers enhanced lubricating capabilities to help your car run better for longer.
One important factor in choosing your oil is your driving habits. If you do a lot of stop-and-go driving, synthetic oil is especially important, as it helps protect your engine against the constant acceleration. Another reason to choose synthetic is if you've racked up a lot of miles on your vehicle due to taking long trips around Conshohocken.
Oil Changes A Must
Even the best oil under ideal conditions only has a limited lifespan. While Hyundai vehicles allow you to go a long time without changing your oil, up to 15,000 miles in some cases, it's still important to have your oil changed when that milestone has been reached. Failing to do so will decrease your engine efficiency, which will typically result in significantly decreased fuel mileage. You may also have trouble with engine knocking and rough idling, especially during cold weather.
