The 2012 Hyundai Sonata with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine requires 4.8 quarts of SAE 5W-30 oil. Hyundai recommends using synthetic oil for better wear protection and longevity. There are two main types of oil: conventional, which is older and petroleum-based, and synthetic, which is newer and offers improved wear protection and longer life. With synthetic oil, you can extend the time between oil changes. Typically, conventional oil needs to be changed every 3,500 to 5,000 miles, while synthetic oil can last up to 7,500 miles. It is advisable to check your oil monthly to ensure it is clean and free from debris or burning.
