What kind of engine oil should be used for Hyundai ix35?
2 Answers
Hyundai ix35 should use 5w30 or 0w30 fully synthetic engine oil. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, plays multiple roles such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Engine oil is crucial for the engine's operation; without it, the engine cannot function properly. The Hyundai ix35 is an SUV model with the following characteristics: 1. Powertrain: The ix35 is equipped with Hyundai's 2.0 and 2.4 Theta II generation engines, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. Dimensions: It measures 4420mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1690mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. 3. Exterior: The ix35 features a design with rich lines, where several arcs and folds outline the contours of the upper and lower grilles and headlights, conveying a sporty atmosphere with a hint of aggressiveness.
I've driven a Hyundai ix35 for many years, and choosing the right engine oil is quite particular. The manual recommends using 5W-30 synthetic oil because its viscosity is moderate, suitable for both winter and summer, and it can quickly lubricate the engine to reduce startup wear. I use fully synthetic oils like Shell or Mobil, changing them every 8,000 kilometers to prevent engine overheating or excessive noise. Low-quality oil may lead to carbon buildup and increased fuel consumption. Don’t forget to replace the oil filter when changing the oil. Check the dipstick yourself to see if the oil level is below the minimum mark; if it’s low, top it up to ensure safe driving. Don’t delay regular maintenance, or repair costs will be higher. Consulting a professional shop saves time and effort.
