The oil capacity of a 2012 Hyundai Sonata varies depending on the engine size. The 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine holds 4.9 quarts with a filter, while the 2.4 L 4-cylinder engine holds 4.8 quarts with a filter. The recommended oil type for optimal performance is 5W-30 Synthetic for the 2.0 L engine and 5W-20 Synthetic for the 2.4 L engine. Both engines require a torque of 25 to 32 ft/lbs for the drain plug. Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining a clean and smoothly running engine. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, a quick task that can be done in just 5 to 15 minutes.
