Whether you’ve just purchased a new Hyundai Sonata or you’ve traveled Cincinnati for years in your trusty sedan, many customers ask us, “What is the recommended Hyundai Sonata oil type?” While we recommend checking your owner’s manual for specifics, most Hyundai Sonata models can use either a 5w-20 or 5w-30 oil. The right oil will help your car perform at its peak while keeping the engine in the best condition possible. Get to know the basics of your Hyundai Sonata oil change, and schedule your service at Columbia Hyundai today.
You might hear technicians talking about synthetic or conventional oil during your Hyundai Sonata oil change, so what’s the difference?
When should you schedule your next Hyundai Sonata oil change? How often you change your oil depends on your Hyundai Sonata oil type. Because conventional oil doesn’t last quite as long, you can schedule your oil change every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. If you opt for a Hyundai Sonata oil change with synthetic, you can stretch that interval further to 7,500 to 10,000 miles. So, when budgeting for your oil change, keep in mind that synthetic oil will cost more upfront but last longer. Not sure which to choose? Feel free to ask our technician for advice or check your owner’s manual to see which is formulated the best for your model year.
