What is the oil viscosity specification for the Mistra?
1 Answers
The recommended oil grades for the Hyundai Mistra are 5W-20 and 5W-30. Generally, any reputable full synthetic oil for the Mistra will help reduce engine noise. The Mistra's engine has a relatively compact structure with small surface contact distances between components. Using lower viscosity oil can reduce fuel consumption and allow the engine to perform at its best. How to choose engine oil: For vehicles under warranty, it's recommended to use the oil provided by the 4S dealership. After the warranty period, you can either continue using the original oil grade or switch to higher quality full synthetic oil. Currently, most vehicles in China use semi-synthetic oil, which is sufficient for regular family cars and commercial vehicles. Full synthetic oil is suitable for high-end and high-performance models, with sports cars typically using full synthetic oil. Engine oils are categorized into full synthetic, semi-synthetic, and mineral oil types. Mineral oil has the lowest cost and poorest quality. While modern mineral oils contain various additives, they oxidize more easily and have a maximum service life of six months. Additionally, new cars can use lower viscosity oil, but as mileage increases and mechanical components wear and age, gradually switching to higher viscosity oil is advisable. When changing oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The oil filter removes impurities from the oil circulating in the lubrication system, as the engine produces contaminants over time.
