The available 2.0-liter 4Cylinder engine getS4.0 liters (4.2 quarts) of 5W-20 oil. These two types of fluid are both synthetic and very similar. The biggest difference is how they perform in hotter climates. They are nearly identical in cold weather startups though. Hyundai recommends replacing this fluid in the 2018 Elantra every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever You arrive to first. Your maintenance interval will be based on Your unique driving habits though.
