If you’re a diligent Hyundai car owner who wants to keep their vehicle in great shape for as long as possible, you know the importance of maintenance. And while you may make sure to get regular Hyundai oil changes, are you using the right oil? Keyes Hyundai goes over the four types available.
Conventional Oil
Conventional oil only has light chemical additives for things like enhancing lubrication and preventing corrosion, making it one of the cheaper options available. It’s generally recommended for older cars used for light duties, but doesn’t offer the same level of protection and efficiency as the other types of oil.
Full Synthetic Oil
As the name implies, full synthetic oil is completely man-made. It has fewer impurities than conventional oil, as it is extensively refined. It also contains additives to improve performance and keep engines clean. Most new Hyundai models use full synthetic oil—typically 0W-20 grade, though this can vary by model.
Synthetic Blend Oil
Synthetic blend oil is a mixture of full synthetic oil and conventional oil, and it too contains many helpful additives. The biggest benefit is that you get a lot of the advantages of synthetic oil but at a lower price.
High-Mileage Oil
High-mileage oil is made for vehicles with 75,000 miles or more. Its additives are designed to reduce leaks and decrease the build-up of sludge.
