Engine takes 4.5qts, Delo comes in 4 qt/1gal jugs. With the price of an extra individual quart he can find something that fully meets specs.
I'm no genius, but the service manager at the dealership told me it's a good choice of oil for my car.
I own a 2014 1.6 turbo Hyundai, and I do my own servicing. I've learned that the 4 quart jug of oil is the correct re-fill amount according to my dipstick-
My 2016 1.6 Turbo states 4.5qts of oil, So maybe it has changed since or is model specific, or year specific.
But according to AMSOIL and various other sites, were both wrong on the Tucson, they all say 4.8qts.
A thing of Delo Synthetic 4qts at my Walmart is $17.96
an extra quart is $5.19
Comes out to $23.15
When he can get manufacturer recommended OEM fill in Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w30 in a 5QT jug for 21.97.
Or Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 5qts (ACEA A5 Spec'd) for 22.47 (being that it is a SOPUS product, preferred by Hyundai)
With a 5K OCI, I see no reason to use Delo over OEM specs
