The 2009 Hyundai Elantra uses SAE 5w-20 full synthetic oil. It has a capacity of 4.2 quarts. Oil keeps the internal parts of Your car's engine cool and lubricated and it also keeps the moving parts from grinding against each other thereby reducing wear and damage. The cost of an oil change for Your Elantra is between $50 and $70 for labor and between $70 and $80 for parts. You should get an oil change every 5,000 miles. Signs that it's time for an oil change include a ticking sound coming from the engine, transmission shifting issues, shaking while idling, exhauSTSmoke, poor fuel economy, and of course if You see the Check Engine or Oil Change lights come on.

It is recommended you use 5W-20 synthetic oil in the 2009 Hyundai Elantra, but you can get away with using 5W-30 synthetic oil. For cold weather temperatures you can use 10W-30 (Above 0 F), 15W-40 (Above 9 F), and 20W-50 (Above 19 F).
