Hi, does anyone know what type of Oil and Oil filter is best for my 1999 Hyundai Excel GLX X3 Auto? Does anyone also know the recommended tyre presure?

Thanks in advance for anyones help.

In the U.S., specifications call for 10W-30 weight oil for most applications with a minimum API grade of SG or SG/CD. I know Hyundai now recommends using only Hyundai or Kia OEM canister-type replacement filters. Apparently some third party filters had design issues (wrong bypass flow settings) that created oil pressure problems. Tire pressure settings? 205 kPa (30 psi).

Glad to help. I would not pour olive oil in the engine, but leave that on your salad for now.
