Vehicle Information, Consumer Information and Reporting Safety Defects -> Recommended lubricants and capacities for Your Hyundai Kona SUV Second Generation (2023-2026)

Recommended Lubricants And Capacities  
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only  
lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine  
efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.

*1: Refer to the “Recommended SAE viscosity number” section.  
Vehicle Information, Consumer Information and Reporting Safety Defects 31  
*2: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they  
contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often,  
these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year's time, they can offer significant  
cost and energy savings.  
*3: If the transfer case/rear differential is submerged, visit an authorized HYUNDAI genuine products to replace the  
differential oil.  
*4: To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, use genuine brake fluid that conform to  
specifications.  
*5: Requires <API SN PLUS (or above) Full synthetic> grade engine oil. If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil  
including semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe  
maintenance condition.  
Recommended SAE viscosity number  
NOTICE  
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before  
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas  
and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick areas  
will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that could be  
damaged.  
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operating  
(engine start and engine oil flow ability). Typically, lower viscosity engine oils can provide  
better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine oils  
are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any viscosity other  
than those recommended could result in engine damage. For these engines, only use  
0W-20 weight engine oil.  
Never add any additives to the engine oil. Engine oil additives can change the properties  
of engine oil and may cause serious engine failure.

An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute (API) Certification Mark  
conforms to the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It is  
recommended to only use engine oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.
