What type of engine oil is suitable for the Hyundai Elantra 1.6?
1 Answers
The Hyundai Elantra is recommended to use the original Shell HELIX engine oil with the specification SM-5W-30. According to the manufacturer's requirements, engine oils that meet the API-SM-4 & ILSAC-GF-4 (or higher) ACEA-A5*4 standards are suitable. Below is relevant information: 1. The Hyundai Elantra 1.6L engine is a naturally aspirated engine, and its requirements for engine oil are not very high. The minimum requirement is mineral oil, but semi-synthetic or full-synthetic engine oils are better. 2. According to the manufacturer's requirements, API-SM-4 & ILSAC-GF-4 (or higher) ACEA-A5*4, you should choose SM-grade or higher low-viscosity engine oil that meets GF-4 requirements. If the oil is labeled with ACEA-A1/B1, A5/B5, or ILSAC-GF-4, GF-5, then it belongs to low-viscosity engine oil. These requirements can be found on the engine oil container.
