Good Oil

[342Four]

What is a good quality oil that i should use for my hyundai?

something in the range of 15-40w to 20-50w (apparently good for multivalve engines)

fully synthetic or mineral doesnt matter (though which is better?)

In no particular order.

Castrol Magnatec

Mobil Super XHP or Super S

Anything really... don't waste money on synthetic oil.

What Hyundai do you have mate.

Safeway oil would be fine, I wouldn't spend more then $10

put in whatever weight oil that hyundai recommends.

[342Four]

i got some mobil super xhp

was on special

though a little more expensive than safeway oil

(wich cars could take canola oil or something )

kmart oil in a weight hyundai recommend.. CHEAPEST stuff you can get.

I hope your running a baffled sump and oil cooler.

Hyundai's have a notorious oil starvation problem at high revs (ie 10,000 RPM)

I recommend Motul 300V engine oil, sure 5 litres will cost you 10% of the cars market value, but its worth it for peace of mind.

more likely 110% of market value. be cheaper to sell the car just before the oil change than put that in.

dude going by the previous thread you start, oil is the LEAST of your problems. one would think you woulde just asked your trusty mechanic when you were in there a couple of days ago...???

oh, but which oil?

Canola.

Preferably crisco - you just cant trust the bilo and generic brands to give your car the protection it deserves.

[Busky2k]

Probably the stuff I drain out of my car would be farrr better than what you would buy to use in a Hyundai.

Excellent Idea.

I can see an opportunity to financially aid my oil changes.

<off to the hyundai forums I go>

[Interloper]

lets see....5L of full synthetic Martini oil in 5w-50....1 owner...only 5000km done....no trackdays....price $30 ono...pm me if interested

If by that you mean hurling a rod through the side of the block problem is caused by oil? Most of the time I've seen it done its because someone in a Hyundai thought they where in the WRC.

Theyre not bad little cars for what they are and what they cost, provided theyre just used for the purpose theyre made for, which is just tootlin' from A-B and not being f**ked like like its the only bit of tail the owner is ever going too get.

it needed an oil and filter change anyway and i wasnt quite sure what is a good oil and what is not so i asked...

ohh and thanks guys...(off to drain the oil out of that gtr down the road hehehehe )

[Cubes]

lol... Hope you don't mind us having a stirr.

All in good fun... Until some one looses an eye.

[342Four]

no offence taken

(like i said - im still off down the road to nick that oil - now i hope they put motul 300v in it, bonus!!!!!!! )

actually to give some credit where its due - the father of a friend has had a 94 excel since new, done 180,000kms since then, treated it like SHIT and it doesnt skip a beat... hmmm

good luck with gettin it up and runnin dude. DOnt mind the slander. Dont let it be a money pit though - youve gotta know when to walk away...

[700HP-GTR33]

Ok,

After great thought i have come to a conclusion.

I think you need external combustion for your car...

So pour the oil over the hyundai and lite it....

This will protect all us from seeing it on the road again.

Cheers
