20W would be a 20 Winter grade (which does exist as a monograde). 20 grade or xW-20 would be the correct way to reference the use of a 20 grade while remaining ambiguous on whatever the Winter grade it carries is.
Awaiting new Hyundai Theta II Engine Install

what break-in oil? just a steady diet of brick and mortar oil will do you. I had a 1998 F-150 with a re-built engine the mechanic recommended a 500 mile oil change then afterwards said resume as normal, what is Hyundai recommending? Just follow what Hyundai has listed for this engine is it a 5W-20 or 30? and I would personally use the Hyundai/Kia filters I ran those on my 2008 Sonata they're good, stout filters. most importantly I would try my best to accelerate easily and keep RPM's under 4,000 if you did have to accelerate for a highway merge do this for at least the first one - two oil changes. I stuck with a 4,000-5000 mile oil change back in 2008-2011 until I traded the car in and used a synthetic blend that was then now today the cost difference it doesn't pay not to use synthetic. SuperTech is great oil if that's your choice.

EL-OH-EL indeed chuckles.
There's a whole post that I wrote on the subject, because it's so commonly misunderstood, that's stickied at the top of the forum:
When you buy a quantity of oil, probably the first thing you look for is the SAE grade. But what do these numbers represent; what do they mean? In this post we will explore the fundamentals of SAE J300, which is the standard under which these grades are defined and often a point of considerable confusion.
At its simplest, a multigrade oil is identified by two numbers:
1. The Winter grade, this is the number BEFORE the W
2. The SAE grade, this is the number AFTER the W
These numbers are not related.
Both numbers (grades) represent clearly defined ranges, outlined as...

Besides being needlessly combative and attempting to drag me, what have you contributed lately?
