Unsure but we know they have their own brand of lying about MPG !
thought i read (probably here on BITOG somewhere) that they use Quakerstate.. could be wildly mistaken though.
What I only heard about KIA recommendation is Lotos Quazar K/FE 5w30 made by Lotos Oil for KIA http://lotosoil.pl/pl/home/produkty/samochody-osobowe,2,412,show,11969
Lotos Oil is the main partner of polish motor race KIA LOTOS CUP http://www.kia-lotos-cup.pl/

They didn't lie about MPG. Their tests produced the MPG's that were published, but didn't agree with the EPA results. The difference was about 1-2 MPG, and within any reasonable margin of error. Because Hyundai is a good company, they are paying people for the difference, for the life of the vehicle. This response was 100% voluntary and in no way were they compelled by legal action. In fact they didn't break any law in publishing their MPG results on window stickers.
Anyway, no they do not have their own oil brand at this tine.

Here's a post from a couple of years back that indicates your were/are right. Hyundai & Quaker State

Not everyone feels Hyundai was totally without blame in the mileage fiasco.
It's far more likely that they reacted because of pressure to do so rather than a genuine love for America. It's a pretty competitive market, eh?

From reports I've read the EPA had much to do with them lowering their sticker claims and it was fear of a legal suit that prompted the rebates to compensate those who had been suckered into buying these cars based on MPG claims.

Back on topic: they have their own transmission fluid (SP) but I have never seen oil.

SO at my Hyundai dealer, I’ve asked about their synthetic and they told me it’s Pennzoil, but like many dealerships, they buy whatever oil they want. When I’ve asked about their synthetic blend, I was told that they didn’t know. My Honda dealership uses Mobil-1 for their synthetic..
Why are some people on this site such Hyundai Haters?
The OP asks a question about oil and the first response is a off topic Hyundai bash.
This is followed up by a poster who I usually respect but I have noticed he seem to go out of his way to add a anti-Hyundai comment.
Even when Hyundai give customers money, its said to create
"good will", when they were not required to its not good enough for these Hyundai Haters. I wish the Chevy had given me money to make up for the POS cars the sold me for two decades.
I don't see other posters bashing other makes every time they are mentioned.

I have a 2004 Hyundai Accent as a commuter I love it. I just run PYB every 3000 miles.
Since you've mentioned it, they might now.
How about HGMO, with the "H" being Hyundai, not Honda?
Nothing wrong with specing a grade and then offering it in your own brand, with your own brand recommended (although not required) in the OM.
Honda does, Subaru does, BMW does (actually 2X, once as BMW and then as Mini), Mazda does and Toyota does.
Why shouldn't Hyundai?

Sticker near the air cleaner box on our 2011 Elantra shows Quaker State oil...
