The Hyundai Tucson is a mid-sized crossover that may be equipped with a variety of engine choices. Hyundai only recommends specific oil viscosity in Tucson, depending on the model year and engine choice selected.
The transmission is lubricated with engine oil, which keeps the grease film between the moving components. It maintains the engine’s critical elements and protects them from dust.
Engine oil is required for the engine’s performance and maintenance. In regular use, check the oil level at least once a week, but more often if you’re on a trip or driving in severe weather.
Replace the engine oil and filter with a new one from an authorized Hyundai dealer.

Types of Engine Oil
Full Synthetic Engine Oil
This sort of motor oil is designed for high-performance automobiles that require a lot of lubrication. It’s resistant to oxidation and thermal failure and has greater viscosity, and prevents oil residue. When the engine pull reduces, full synthetic improves horsepower efficiency by enhancing volume. It costs four times more than normal motor oil.
Synthetic Blend Oil
Synthetic blend oil is the ideal combination of both worlds and costs less than full synthetic oil. It incorporates some synthetic and conventional additives to give greater oxidation resistance and good performance at low temperatures by combining synthetic and conventional oils.
Conventional Oil
Engine oil of this type is the most popular. It’s perfect for small engines and cars with low mileage.
High Mileage Oil
This oil is designed specifically for cars with 75,000 miles or more.
5w-20 Engine Oil
5w-20 viscosity meets the Hyundai Tucson manufacturer’s recommendation. This oil is recommended for Hyundai Tucson with less than 75,000 miles on the odometer by most auto service professionals. It delivers superior fuel efficiency than 5w-30. There are several 5w-20 oils that are completely synthetic in composition, while others are a mix of chemicals.
5W-30 Engine Oil
The viscosity of 5W-20 engine oil ranges from grade 5 to 30. As a result, it is a multi-grade oil. It’s best for cars that get driven in cold weather. The 5W-30 oil flows easily when the engine is started at low temperatures to cover and protect the engine’s components. This oil comes in synthetic and conventional varieties, as well.
The amount of engine oil supplied by the Hyundai Tucson is determined by a number of variables, including:
- Year of production of the Hyundai Tucson.
- The volume and type of the engine and level of its wear.
