In the 2013 Hyundai Sonata, the type of oil to use depends on the engine size. For the 2.0 L 4-Cylinder engine, use 5W-30 Synthetic oil, and for the 2.4 L 4-Cylinder engine, use 5W-20 Synthetic oil. The oil capacity for both engines is 4.9 quarts with a filter. Use a torque of 25 to 33 ft/lbs for the drain plugs, and always replace the washers on the drain bolt. Using oil is crucial for maintaining a clean and well-running engine. Remember to change the oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles as oil deteriorates over time.

My 2013 Hyundai Sonata with a 2.4 engine suddenly stopped running while I was driving. I was using 5w-40 oil. Do you think the oil could have caused the engine to seize? There were no unusual sounds before it happened.

There’s a well-known issue with certain Hyundai engines from specific years and models that led to a class action lawsuit mandating Hyundai to replace them. I own a 2013 Hyundai Sonata, and my engine developed problems (failed the engine load test) after experiencing loss of power and strange noises. Hyundai ended up replacing the engine at no cost to me and even provided a complimentary loaner car for the 6 weeks it took to complete the replacement.

I adhered to a strict oil change schedule for my 2013 Hyundai Sonata, using Mobil 1 5-20 full synthetic oil and Hyundai Oil Filters every 5000 miles. Unfortunately, the engine seized at 93,000 miles, but Hyundai replaced it. I now exclusively use 5-30 oil.

In 2013, the Hyundai Sonata needs 4.86 US quarts of motor oil. It's best to use SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40 oil for the 2.0L engine and 5W-20 or 5W-30 for the 2.4L engine, regardless of the operating temperatures.

Has anyone experimented with using 10W-40 instead of 10W-30? If you have, did you encounter any problems as a result?
