What is the oil model and specification for Hyundai Mistra?
1 Answers
The oil model for Hyundai Mistra is 5W-30 synthetic oil, with a replacement capacity of 5L and a replacement interval of 5,000 kilometers. For later maintenance oil changes, you can choose brands such as Mobil, Shell, Castrol, or Total. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as providing better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in a Hyundai Mistra is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, usually filling up to three-quarters of the oil bottle; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, repairs should be made; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check if the engine oil level is within the standard range.
