What grade of oil does the Elantra use?
1 Answers
The Elantra uses 5W40 oil. Below is an introduction to the functions of engine oil: 1. Lubrication: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, and between the main shaft and bearing. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film of sufficient thickness needs to be established between the sliding surfaces to separate them, reducing wear and extending mechanical life. 2. Sealing: Engine oil can form a seal between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and the entry of pollutants. 3. Cleaning: Engine oil can circulate and carry away carbon deposits, sludge, and worn particles from engine components back to the oil pan. 4. Cooling: Engine oil can circulate and dissipate some of the heat from the engine.
