What brand of engine oil is used for Hyundai Elantra?
1 Answers
Modern Elantra's original engine oil brand is Shell engine oil. The recommended engine oil model on Hyundai Elantra's official manual is 5W-30. The viscosity of engine oil will change with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperature conditions. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the smoother the cold start of the car will be. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it can maintain viscosity at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil of Hyundai Elantra is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, and also allow the engine oil to flow back to the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug, and use an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to flow out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; apply engine oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter, and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill up to three-quarters of a barrel; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for oil leaks at the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, they should be repaired; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
