T6 Multi Vehicle 5W30 08 Sonata

[BAJA_05]

Good friend of mines GF is down on her finances at the moment. She has a 2008 Sonata with the 2.4L engine. She came over yesterday for Thanksgiving and after eating -- I changed her oil for her using my stash of Rotella T6 MV 5w30 paired with a Super Tech oil filter. Her car specs a 5W20 but I would imagine the full synthetic 5W30 and that filter would be good for a 5000 mile interval. She comes over with him atleast once every two weeks to hang out. When she stops over -- I will be checking her oil level.

Most Hyunday and Kia products allow for everything under the sun according to the owners manual.

That should work well. Yes, the important is keeping tabs on the oil level.

5w-30 is a great choice for any Hyundai or Kia. You did a good thing.

Hyundai has a TSB stating to use 5W40 instead of 5W30 in certain turbo vehicles.

Was there a question here?

Think this is Hyunkias version of the World Engine which I had in an 07 Optima. Pre DI if I remember correctly and probably more bullet proof than the modern engines.

Wow! That's quite the score. How did you swing that?

 

[BAJA_05]

There actually was a gentleman on here that works for Shell. I sent him a PM and he hooked me up. Have about 4.5 gallons left.

That is an understatement 🙈

 

[Macsignals]

You did good! That will be more than fine for 5K in that engine.

5w30 in that GEMA 2.4 engine is fine. I have the same 2.4 in my Jeep Compass and have used 5w30...without issue.

Use with confidence
