What type of oil does the Verna car use?
2 Answers
The Verna car uses 5W20 type oil. The number before W represents the cold resistance capability, the smaller the number, the better the cold resistance. The number after W represents the viscosity of the oil, the larger the number, the higher the viscosity of the oil, and the better the protection performance of the oil. The Verna is a model jointly designed and developed by Beijing Hyundai, Hyundai North America, and the European Design Center. In terms of body dimensions, the Verna has a length, width, and height of 4340mm, 1700mm, and 1460mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. In terms of appearance, the Verna features a large number of smooth muscle lines and a stylish front face design, creating a cutting-edge and dynamic visual impression.
I've been driving the Verna for several years and always been diligent with maintenance. The engine oil type depends on the model year and engine type. For my 2017 model, 5W-20 synthetic oil is recommended, or 5W-30 also works—check the owner's manual for specifics. The manual clearly states that regional temperatures make a big difference: 5W-20 helps with cold starts in winter for colder areas, while 5W-30 provides better protection in hot climates during summer. Don’t underestimate oil changes—delaying them can damage the engine and spike fuel consumption. I use synthetic oil and change it every 8,000 km, sticking with major brands like Shell or Mobil that have API certification for quality assurance. Always replace the oil filter during maintenance to avoid clogs. Driving habits matter too—5W-20 is more fuel-efficient for city traffic, while 5W-30 holds up better for long highway trips. Never cheap out on low-quality oil—extending change intervals accelerates part wear and leads to costly repairs. Bottom line: follow the manufacturer’s advice, stick to the schedule, and your car will run smoothly even past 100,000 km.
