What kind of oil does a Hyundai Sonata take?

Hello! I’m about to take a long road trip, and I think I should change my oil before I leave. Can you tell me what kind of oil a Hyundai Sonata takes?

I’m glad you’re taking care of your vehicle! Changing your car’s oil is a smart move before any long trip. So, I’d be happy to tell you what kind of oil a
Hyundai Sonata
takes.
A Sonata can take synthetic, conventional, or blend oil, but it has to be 5W-20 or 5W-30. Honda recommends that you change the oil in your vehicle every 7,500 miles, but you should also check it monthly.
If you see any foreign matter in the oil, or if it’s too low, it’s time for an oil change. Changing the oil is a basic process that most people can handle at home, but you could also go to a shop for just a few dollars more.
