What oil does a Hyundai take?

Engine oil

A5 · API SM or above · 5W-30(2014–2019 · i10 (IA))

Manufacturer-publishedSource

For Europe: 'API Service SM or above, ACEA A5 or above'. Chart (Europe) 0W-40, 5W-30, 5W-40; footnote recommends SAE 5W-30 (API SM / ACEA A5) for fuel economy.

Engine oil

API SN PLUS / SP or ILSAC GF-6 · 0W-20(2020 on · i10 (AC3) Smartstream G1.0)

Manufacturer-publishedSource

Chart lists 0W-20 only; mineral/semi-synthetic oil = severe-service oil-change interval.

Oil capacity

3 litres(i10 (IA))

Manufacturer-publishedSource

Handbook figure 'Engine oil (drain and refill)'; the handbook does not say whether it includes the filter.

Coolant

Hyundai phosphate-based ethylene-glycol coolant for aluminium radiators, mixed with (distilled) water

Manufacturer-publishedSource

Wording on every Hyundai handbook consulted: 'Mixture of antifreeze and (distilled) water (Phosphate-based ethylene glycol coolant for aluminium radiator)'. Older handbooks (i10 IA, i30 GD, i20 GB, Santa Fe DM/TM) say only 'ethylene glycol base coolant for aluminium radiator'; i40 and Kona/Tucson/IONIQ hybrid say phosphate-based. Capacity varies by engine and gearbox (e.g. Tucson TL 6.9-8.8 l). Battery-electric models use a different 'designated coolant for electric vehicles' — see the EV entries.

Wording on every Hyundai handbook consulted: 'Mixture of antifreeze and (distilled) water (Phosphate-based ethylene glycol coolant for aluminium radiator)'. Older handbooks (i10 IA, i30 GD, i20 GB, Santa Fe DM/TM) say only 'ethylene glycol base coolant for aluminium radiator'; i40 and Kona/Tucson/IONIQ hybrid say phosphate-based. Capacity varies by engine and gearbox (e.g. Tucson TL 6.9-8.8 l). Battery-electric models use a different 'designated coolant for electric vehicles' — see the EV entries.

NOT from a Hyundai document: no Santa Fe TM 'Product Enhanced' handbook was found. Kia's Sorento MQ4 handbook gives 'ACEA C5, C2 or C3' for the Smartstream D2.2 (viscosity chart is an image that could not be read). Capacity deliberately not carried across — the Kia figure (5.6 l) is for the Sorento installation.
