Oil recommendation Genesis GV80

[Blinker]

What do you mean how do I know? Luxury brand versus value brand. Genesis is a Mercedes/Lexus/BMW equivalent. When you get a Genesis serviced, you call the dealer and they pick it up for you and bring it back to intentionally keep that clientele out of the Hyundai showroom. That's literally a tactic of their to maintain the upscale imagine and keep the two brands separated in experience.

Yep, this is true. Genesis valet services your car and is supposed to give you a loaner while yours is being serviced. They don’t want the Genesis customer ever setting foot in the Hyundai dealer. Genesis is about to start rolling out Genesis only showrooms real soon though.

Reminds me of when the Japanese were trying to break into the German luxury market.

I'm curious to see if @Nick1994 experienced it like this with his Genesis.

Lol no. I took mine to Chapman Hyundai. My service advisor Lisa was the best though and always got me a loaner/rental that my extended warranty paid for. There was one time they didn't have a rental but I have a fleet of other cars and the dealer paid for a Lyft.

Use Pennzoil Platinum Euro L 5W30 from your local Wal Mart.

Was this intentional on your part or is that how the service worked for you in your area?

It's the only way I ever heard of it happening. I took it to a different Hyundai dealer across town when I thought I had some transmission issues (turned out to be a bad mount later on) and that dealer had some horrible customer service.

I've never heard of Genesis having some superior service over Hyundai, I've only ever heard of Genesis owners being mad at having to go through Hyundai dealers and getting the same treatment as them.

Me? I really didn't care. I wasn't any better than anyone else.

Thank you, appreciate the detail provided!

I have a 2021 GV80 3.5 twin turbo V6. Oil spec is 0w30 SN+ or SP. I get free service for 3 years and have 18 months left of it. I have only had one oil change done as I don't put many miles on it. Regardless, I am planning on doing my own oil changes at some point.

For roughly 50 years I have only used Castrol but they do not currently sell one with the required spec. One option is Mobil 1™ 0w30 Advanced Fuel Economy but i was wondering if there are better options I should consider.

i appreciate your feedback.

My son bought a 2025 GV 80 2.5 T the sticker on the engine says use Shell Helix 0W -30. I can't find it in auto parts stores.

Mine recommended Quaker State 0w30 but I use Mobil 1™ 0w30 Advanced Fuel Economy. It is API SP rated.

Like everyone is saying, you are guaranteed to have 0 warranty issues if you take your car into Genesis for service. I personally change my AMG oil halfway through it's interval then let mercedes do it's scheduled stuff. Take my experience and ocd with a grain of sand.
