Best oil for my new 2025 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 Diesel Turbo?

[Propflux01]

30 or 40 would be ok, I chose the 30 mainly because of the low mileage and short-tripping your description stated. Since the engine isn't getting long-drive-on-the-freeway hot, then no use for a thicker oil.

Noack has a lot less significance than is often attributed to it.

ic thanks. what do you think is the top 3 attribute i should look for in an oil given my conditions?

Grade, approvals or licenses and winter rating.

Grade, approvals or licenses and winter rating.

May i ask something about approvals. On the image below, does it mean that the 5W-30 also has a manufacturer approval for MB229.51 or is the manufacturer approvals only for VW 504 and 507? Thanks.

Only VW 504/507 approved.
Amsoil is a kind of an approval of its own though.

why is everyone chosing the 5w-40? i think it is just thicker equalls more better. which i dont agree with,.
it's just a lazy diesel that will never see more than 2,5k rpm. just like all the 1.9 tdis that run 100k mile oci and run just fine. But the Japanese have never been that great at making diesels.

Good thing Hyundai isn’t Japanese then, eh?

You can always check against the Mercedes-Benz approved oil lists.
