The 2018 Hyundai Elantra requires SAE 5W-30 Synthetic oil for its 1.4 L and 1.6 L 4-cylinder engines, and SAE 5W-20 Synthetic oil for the 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine. The oil capacity varies: 4.4 quarts with a filter for the 1.4 L engine, 4.8 quarts with a filter for the 1.6 L engine, and 4.2 quarts with a filter for the 2.0 L engine. Oil is crucial for maintaining a clean engine and should be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles to prevent it from going bad. It's recommended to also change the filter during the oil change to save time later on.
