Hello from Australia,
Long time first time. Looking for an oil recommendation for my 2019 Hyundai i30N. Some details:
- Manufacturer's handbook recommends ACEA C2 0W-30, although also seems to suggest 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-30, 15W-40, 20W-50 will also work (there is reference to a chart with all of the above listed if 0W-30 "is not available in your country"). Change intervals 10k or 12 months
- Generally take short suburban trips with the car although have the occasional long (1hr plus) highway drive. I've also been known to seek out twisty roads if they vaguely get me to my destination. I've also booked my first track day for November (the main reason for this post!)
- Car has no known problems although it has done over 100,000 kms.
I'd love to understand mainly:
1) Recommended oils (brands and/or types), both for a track day and general day-to-day, remembering I'm from Australia so need to be able to buy locally and ideally in a big box store (Supercheap, Autobarn, Repco) or easily available online. Bonus points if you present recommendations upside down for my easy reading
2) I've read in some Australian forums I could consider using a 10W-40 or similar given our temperatures very rarely drop below 0 (celsius), although in summer we can have over 40+ days, plus also the thinner oil could help with track day extremes. No idea if this is correct though so would love the opinion of the gurus!
