What Brand of Synthetic Oil to use
 
I finally got some miles on the car and it's time for the oil change. I got a filter kit from the dealer but I don't know which oil (synthetic) to use. What brand does Hyundai use?

Personally, I use Mobil1 but I don't think you can go wrong with any brand full synthetic.

All the LAMBDA come with synthetic oil from what course instructor told us..

5/30 MOBIL-1 across our parts counter for those who choose the synthetic oil change.

Did you get the genuine Hyundai-Kia oil filter in silver box... some of the aftermarket kit have o-ring that is small and they leak oil past the cap/canister and onto A/T, then they come in and say they have A/T oil leak as oil dripping off trans at left side of car..

My guess is, yes, he got a Hyundai filter.

Yep, Got the "Real Deal". Thanks for the tip on the Mobile 1, that's what I'll do.

Thanks All

Yep, Reading Is Fundamental.... I never claimed to be the brightest bulb on the string :)

Trust me, I've missed some of the most obvious stuff in posted before. That's what I get for reading too quickly or starting to think of an answer before I finish reading. DOH!

I just flipped through the Owner's Manual and I see that Hyundai reccomends Quaker State lubricants. I wish I'd seen that before I bugged you folks. I just bought some Q. S. synthetic 5W-20. Thanks again for the help.

I have always used Amsoil in my vehicles. never had a problem.

Any synthetic 5W-20 will do !
