Full synthetic offers superior cold-flow and stability and is the recommended match for the Sonata-Hybrids OEM spec.

Conventional oil can shear faster and isn’t ideal for hybrid engine heat cycles. Blends improve stability but may not meet the highest OEM performance targets. Full synthetic 5W-20 supports winter pumpability near I-90/I-290 and protects during stop-and-go commuting.

• Recommended: full-synthetic 5W-20 to Hyundai spec
• Better oxidation resistance and deposit control
• Helps maintain hybrid efficiency in cold weather
