My wife and I just bought a used 2017 Hyundai Sonata and we want to do our own oil changes. What kind of oil does it take?

Congrats on your new (used) car! The type of oil for the 2017
Hyundai Sonata
is 5W-20 fully synthetic motor oil.
You can’t just use any oil in your Sonata’s engine. Pick the wrong one and your engine may gunk up and break. Your car’s recommended oil type is usually listed in its owner’s manual or on its oil cap.
The recommended oil for your 2017 Sonata is 5W-20 fully synthetic motor oil:
  • 5W-20 means it flows freely at high and low temperatures
  • Fully synthetic means it contains artificially produced compounds and few impurities
Doing your own routine maintenance will keep your Sonata running smoothly and save you lots of money. You can save even more money by shopping for a new car insurance policy with
