What oil does Hyundai use?
5W-30 engine oils for Hyundai. Mobil 1™ ESP 5W-30 is a fully synthetic low ash engine oil that meets or exceeds the requirements of API SN/SM.
What kind of oil should I put in my Hyundai Excel?
If you intend to keep the car for some time and look after the oil yourself, then you should also do the filter and get at least a half decent oil. I’d recommend either Shell Helix or Castrol Magnatec in either 10W40 or 15W40. Should be around the $30 mark for 5L, which will give you enough for the change and for top-ups until the next change.
How is the viscosity of hot oil measured?
The viscosity of hot oil is measured using different test parameters than when the oil is cold, so the numbers after the “W” don’t relate to the numbers in front of the “W”. The difference between 10W-30 and a 10W-40 is the high temperature viscosity.
What should the viscosity of multi grade oil be?
Multi-grade oils could stay as close to the optimum viscosity over a range of temperatures – not too thick when it is cold and not too thin when it is hot. The difference between a 0W-30 and a 10W-30 is indicated by how well each flows at lower temperatures.
Why is viscosity important in a race car?
The improved temperature stability of synthetics makes them a better choice for race engines and serious high-performance engines. Even with a synthetic, however, viscosity changes with temperature. Selecting the correct viscosity for an application requires knowing the operating temperature of the oil.
What kind of oil do you put in a 1997 Hyundai Excel?
Chances are with a 1997 Excel it’s the former. Go with a 20W50 oil (choose whatever brand is on special at your local retailer). I got a ’97 Hyundai Lantra.
What kind of engine does the Hyundai Excel have?
The Excel was available in three- or five-door hatchback and four-door sedan models. The Excel was the first Hyundai car to be exported to the United States. The Excel was available with either a manual or automatic transmission mated to a four-cylinder engine aspirated by a carburetor or fuel injection system, depending on market and model year.
How often should I change the oil in my Hyundai Excel?
You’d only be adding maybe 10% of the capacity in new oil. A change would replace 95%+ with new oil, and would also include a new oil filter. If you’re likely to procrastinate then by all means top it up now, but otherwise you’re probably better off just booking it in for an oil change.
What was the name of the 1985 Hyundai Excel?
On the South Korean home market, the hatchbacks were marketed as “Pony Excel” and the sedan was called Hyundai Presto. The 1985 Pony was only sold as five-door hatchback in Europe. Unlike the first Pony Sedan, the Pony/Excel X1 Sedan had the boot separated from the passenger compartment.
