What type of oil is recommended for the Hyundai ix25?
2 Answers
The Hyundai ix25 is recommended to use the 4S original 5W-30 oil. Both semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils are acceptable. As for brands, you can choose from Mobil, Castrol, or Shell. The oil capacity for the Hyundai ix25 is as follows: the amount of oil required varies depending on the engine displacement. A 2.0L engine requires 4 liters, while a 1.6L engine requires 3.3 liters. By viscosity: 10W-40 is its SAE standard viscosity value. This viscosity value first indicates that this oil is a multi-grade oil. The 'W' stands for WINTER, and the number before the W represents the oil's flow performance at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the starting performance at low temperatures. The number after the W represents the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., the likelihood of thinning). The larger the number, the better the oil's stability at high temperatures. Oil grade: The winter oil grades for lubricant viscosity classification are 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, and 25W. The symbol 'W' stands for winter, and the smaller the number before the W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature.
During the last maintenance for my ix25, the technician specifically mentioned that this car most commonly uses 5W-20 or 5W-30 engine oil. For the 1.5L naturally aspirated Hyundai ix25 (such as models after 2020), the manufacturer's manual recommends using 5W-20 full synthetic oil. However, for the 1.4T turbocharged version, it's safer to use 5W-30. Pay attention to the API SP or SN PLUS certification marks on the oil container to avoid buying counterfeit products. In high-temperature summer regions, you can upgrade to a higher viscosity grade. If an older car shows slight oil burning, switching to 5W-30 can be more worry-free. It is recommended to change the oil approximately every 8,000 kilometers, and for aggressive driving, check the oil condition in advance.
