Default 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

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.
