The 2012 Hyundai Tucson requires 5W-20 oil for optimal performance. Using high-quality oil is crucial for keeping the engine running smoothly. Over time, you may encounter problems with the oil, which can lead to engine failure. One common sign of trouble is a strong burning odor, indicating the need for immediate inspection to prevent possible engine damage. Additionally, you may notice a knocking sound coming from the engine and a decrease in fuel efficiency. It's essential to change the oil periodically, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, to prevent engine issues. Failure to replace the oil as recommended can result in serious engine problems.
