What kind of oil does a 2016 Hyundai Sonata take?

I’m with my friend on a road trip and we think we rented a janky car. But we’re too far along to return the vehicle. We’re going to try filling up the oil and see if it helps. What kind of oil does a 2016 Hyundai Sonata take?

Oh no! Sorry to hear about your car troubles. The preferred oil type for a 2016
Hyundai Sonata
is 5W-20.
You can find this type of motor oil at big box stores, gas stations, and auto supply shops. Your Sonata has an oil capacity of slightly over five quarts so make sure you purchase enough to top up the reservoir.
Rental cars can be troublesome, especially if you tried to save money by going through a no-name brand. Don’t be afraid to document the situation by reporting it to the company. If you get into an
accident with a rental car
, it’s good to have your report on record.
