For your 2002 Hyundai Sonata, the type of oil to use depends on the climate where you live. If you're in a hot area (above 32F), consider using SAE 20W-40 or 20W-50. In a moderate temperature region, opt for SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 10W-50. In colder climates (below 100F), go for SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40. The oil capacity for the 2.4L engine is 4.2 quarts without a filter and 4.5 quarts with a filter. For the 2.7L engine, it is 4.45 quarts without a filter and 4.77 quarts with a filter.

    The 2002 Hyundai Sonata with the standard 2.4L inline-4 engine requires 4.5 quarts of synthetic oil in either 5W30 or 5W40 for temperatures below 95 degrees Fahrenheit, and 10W30, 10W40, or 10W50 for temperatures above -9 degrees Fahrenheit, or 20W40 or 20W50 for temperatures above 32 degrees Fahrenheit based on the local weather conditions. The optional 3.7L V6 engine in the same model uses 4.8 quarts of synthetic oil in the same viscosity range as the 2.4L engine, depending on the local weather.
