Hyundai i10 - Which oil?

[ahmedy]

Hi Guys

I come in search of your help. Yes i know this is a dub forum but i have always found the most helpful answers here and therefore i come again seeking knowledge

I am servicing my i10, its a 2010 model with a 112 000kms and i would like to know from you guys which oil do you feel is best to use? I had previously used castrol magnatec 10w40 but two different guys at hyundai in Durban have given me two different answers on the oil i should use. One guy said i should be using 5w30 and the other said 15w40 so i am honestly lost.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Olive oil
Otherwise 15w40 is fine.

What does the owners manual say?

5w40 , the scale in the book is variable but hyundai uses 5w40 Castrol

I don't have the owners manual, it unfortunately did not come with the car when I bought it

I may be wrong but is a 5w oil not more suited to a cold climate compared to that of 10w? Im in Durban and our cold isn't that hectic compared to the other parts of the country

10w40 should do the trick... and stick to it. Don't swap and change oil grades.

5w40

According to both Liqui Moly and Motul thew car can use anywhere from a 5w30 to a 15w50.

I would personally use a 10w40, see links.

10w grade is usually semi , 5w is full synthetic.

Hyundai uses 5w40 with high milages throughout, usually you notice it as you start paying between service plan and 150000km
