The 2018 Hyundai Tucson requires either 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil. It's important to change your oil regularly, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to do so can result in engine issues. Using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal engine performance. Neglecting oil changes can lead to various issues. A troubling burning smell may indicate a serious problem that requires immediate attention to prevent a potential explosion. Old or low-quality oil can cause engine failure, resulting in knocking noises and reduced fuel efficiency.

    I was initially advised against using synthetic oil for my 2018 car when I first bought it. However, during my first oil change, three different places recommended switching to synthetic oil. Since making the switch, I have been using synthetic oil without encountering any problems.

    Hyundai offers several 2018 Tucson models equipped with either a 2.0 liter or a 2.4 liter engine. The lineup includes the Tucson SE, Tucson SEL, Tucson SEL Plus, and the Tucson Sport. The 2.0 liter models require 5w-20 or 5w-30 oil, while the 2.4 liter Sport also uses these oil grades. The smaller Tucson SUV variants, the Value and the Limited, are compatible with 5w-30 or 5w-40 oil.
