The 2000 Hyundai Electra is equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that requires 4.2 U.S. quarts (4 liters) of oil. The manual gearbox can hold around 2.32 U.S. quarts, while the automatic gearbox requires 8.24 quarts. It is recommended to use 5W40 oil for the engine and 75W90 for the gearbox according to the manufacturer. While conventional oil is acceptable, synthetic oil is preferred for its superior performance and durability. A quart of SYNTEC Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30 at O'Reilly's costs approximately $32 and is compatible with your vehicle's engine. Considering the vehicle's age, you may also want to explore a blend designed for higher mileage vehicles.
The 2.0-liter inline-4 engine in the 2000 Hyundai Elantra requires 4.2 quarts of 5W30 or 5W40 synthetic oil when it's below 95 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature is above -9 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use 10W30, 10W40, or 10W50 synthetic oil. And if it's above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, opt for 20W40 or 20W50 synthetic oil.
