The 2013 Hyundai Elantra has a 1.8 L 4-cylinder engine that can use either 5W-20 or 5W-30 engine oil with a capacity of 4.23 quarts. It's advisable to go with 5W-20, especially if you live in a colder region, as it's less thick and can move easily in lower temperatures, leading to quicker engine starts. However, if this isn't a major concern for you, 5W-30 will work fine too. Opting for full synthetic or a synthetic blend is also recommended over conventional oil due to their positive effects on fuel efficiency and how they prolong the time between oil changes.
Can I put 10w 30 oil in my 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS with 151,179 miles on it? Do you think that would be a good choice, and would it cause any problems?
Can I safely add 5 quarts of oil to the 1.8-liter engine of a 2013 Hyundai Elantra?
The 2013 Hyundai Elantra can hold up to 4.23 quarts of motor oil or 4.0 liters. It is best to use SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 engine oil for this vehicle in any weather conditions.
No, putting too much oil in the lubrication system will result in a higher oil level in the pan when the engine is running. This will cause the crankshaft to stir up and aerate the oil.
