Every 2012 Hyundai Accent model is equipped with a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine, making it easy to determine the appropriate oil type and quantity. The car should be filled with 3.5 quarts of SAE 5W-20 full synthetic oil. Although you can temporarily use SAE 5W-30 synthetic as a substitute, it is not advised. Thicker oils, indicated by higher viscosity numbers, can cause friction in the engine, requiring more effort for the same performance. This can result in premature engine wear and potential early engine failure. It's recommended to stick to the manufacturer's suggested oil with the lowest viscosity for optimal engine performance, even if it costs a bit more per oil change.
