My dealer used 20W50 on my first oil change. He told me that Hyundai
recommends it. I immediately took it home and drained it out, and
replaced it with 10W30.
I have a feeling there is a tug of war over oil weight for enhancing
mileage and engine noise. Hyundai wants better gas mileage, so they
recommend 5w20, which is ridiculous. The dealer wants fewer engine
noise complaints, so they use 10W40 or 20W50 in hot climates.
