Why Use Hyundai Genuine Oil and Lubricants? | Phil Gilbert Hyundai
Oil is to your car what blood is to your body. Like blood types, your car needs a certain type of oil. The type and weight (thickness) of oil a car needs varies from engine to engine. It also varies by when your engine was manufactured. Newer engines have stricter requirements for fuel economy and oil consumption.
If you want your new Hyundai to perform its best and stay in good condition for as long as possible, you shouldn’t just use any old oil and lubricant. Hyundai’s range of genuine oil and lubricants are specially developed to meet the technical specifications of your Hyundai vehicle and the logbook recommended service intervals.
A Guide to Oil Types
There are two main types of car engine oil – mineral oil and synthetic oil. Mineral oil is a petroleum product that is derived from crude oil, like gasoline. Synthetic oil on the other hand is artificially developed in a laboratory. It’s common to have blends that mix the two oil types together. Mineral oil tends to be cheaper but isn’t as long-lasting. Synthetic oil is more expensive but lasts much longer.
Each car engine is designed to use a specific weight oil, which is often listed in the owner’s manual or on the engine oil cap. Common types include:
There are heavier weights used in some vehicles, but these are quite rare. It’s important that you stick with the oil weight the car manufacturer specifies for your engine, or it may result in reduced fuel economy and engine damage over time.
