What type of oil does the Hyundai Verna use?
2 Answers
Hyundai Verna uses 5W30 fully synthetic oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. Cool and lower temperatures; 3. Clean and remove deposits; 4. Dampen vibrations and cushion impacts; 5. Prevent rust and corrosion. Engine oils are categorized into mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. The Hyundai Verna is a 4-door, 5-seater compact car under Beijing Hyundai, with body dimensions of 4300mm in length, 1705mm in width, and 1460mm in height, a wheelbase of 2570mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 43L. This model is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 95PS and a maximum power output of 70kW.
I've been using 5W-20 full synthetic oil for my Hyundai Verna for five years with no issues. The manual originally recommended this grade as most suitable due to its low viscosity, which provides better cold-start protection and reduces oil consumption. I change the oil every 8,000 km, sticking with major brands like Mobil or Shell to avoid subpar products. In colder climates like winter, this viscosity grade flows more smoothly. A word of advice – don't cheap out on oil; my friend tried 5W-30 and saw slightly higher fuel consumption. Always get oil changes at professional shops where they can inspect the filter too. By the way, if you're in northern regions, quick cold starts are a major advantage; it works in humid southern areas too, but monitor oil levels more closely. Regular maintenance extends engine life and saves repair costs.
