What oil for 2.0t sonata?

[05CCSLE]

Hey guys.

Just got a 2013 Sonata 2.0t. My first turbo so was wondering what oïl i should be using. Dealer says i have to change it every 8000km's for warenty.

so let me know!

What brand oil does the dealer want to use in it?

 

[05CCSLE]

did not ask.. he did say tu use 5w30. I live in canada to cold winters!

Pennzoil Platinum or Pennzoil Ultra in 5w30 would be my choice.

You'd be fine with CT's full syn oil. Either 5w30 or 5w20. I run it on my MIL's 2011 Sonata with the 2.4 and it seems to do just fine.

Considering your only planning to do 8,000 km OCI's, you'll be saving some $$ too

5,000 miles is the standard 2.0T oil change interval here in the States. In other words, 8,000 km is correct.

This (in 5w-30) would be not only appropriate, but cost-effective for those intervals:

If you're crossing the border anytime soon, it's available @ Walmart.

If going with the full 8000km oci, any major brand synthetic is fine. Dealerships down here use conventional unless you request otherwise and our manuals do not specify the use of a synthetic, so any conventional meeting spec would also do, according to Hyundai.

Thanks for the info guys! propably go with the Pennzoil Platinum they have it in stock at walmart here for 24.99$ most of the time...

a friend of mine says to go amsoil OE 5w30.. says it would be cheaper... how does the OE stack up against the platinum?
