What is the 2017 Hyundai Sonata oil type?

My girlfriend just bought a 2017 Sonata, and I’m helping her gather what she needs for maintenance. What kind of oil does her car take?

How thoughtful of you!
The 2017
Hyundai Sonata
takes 5W-20 motor oil. We recommend opting for fully synthetic oil, which needs changing every 7,500 to 10,000 miles and is generally healthier for your engine. Conventional oil is fine, too—it’s cheaper, but you’ll need to change it more often.
The car owner’s manual or the oil cap on the engine should be marked with the type of oil your vehicle needs. Now you know where to check on the fly!
