Check Oil Type, Grade And Viscosity For Hyundai i30
Hyundai has been building the compact since 2007 and is already in its third generation. The Hyundai i30 is built in three body styles. With the chic i30 Fastback, a 4-door sedan, and the spacious, much longer i30 station wagon and the compact i30 5-door.
The third edition of the Hyundai i30, which was released in 2017 and revised in 2020, offers everything that the other i30 models have to offer, from ease of use and exemplary use of space to good material quality and workmanship. Since the facelift, the Hyundai i30 has had a slightly more distinctive front end with new LED lights, and the interior is up to date with the new digital cockpit and refreshed infotainment including a new 10.25-inch touchscreen.
The 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo, an old acquaintance from other Hyundai and Kia models, is one of the best parts of the engine. The three-cylinder, which like all engines, can be ordered with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission revs up easily and with its 120 hp and turbocharger, provides a lively driving experience. For long-distance drivers, there is nothing better in the Hyundai i30 than a diesel engine. Because of the required power with little consumption. Nothing has changed in this respect for the 2021 model year, but a lot has changed in terms of technology.
Motor oil is a vital part of your Hyundai i30's engine. It provides the much needed lubrication to many of the internal parts of an engine. One of its key jobs is to prevent wear and tear on the moving parts which helps keep the engine running smoothly. Without oil, the engine would cease up almost immediately.
Regularly checking and changing your Hyundai i30 engine oil is really important. Every time you start and run your car, very fine by-products from the combustion in the engine will be collected in the engine oil. This is one of the reasons why over time the oil goes black. If these contaminants build up too much and exceed the capacity of the oil it can have a negative impact on your car’s overall efficiency and actually effect its performance as it creates sludge and increased wear in the engine block.
Every engine oil will have its viscosity grade labelled on the packaging. This will look something like 0W-20, 5W-30 or 5W-40. This grading is used to measure how thick / fluid the oil is and help ensure you buy the right oil for your car. The lower the viscosity grade of the oil, the more fluid and thinner it will be than those with a high grade (higher numbers) which will be much less running and thick.
So which engine oil should you buy for your Hyundai i30? Whether you are topping up your Hyundai i30 oil or doing a full change of your Hyundai i30's oil it is really important that you use the correct grade of oil.
