What Is the Ideal Engine Oil Grade for the Hyundai Elantra in Local Climate Conditions?

Given Pakistan’s hot weather, dusty roads, and stop-and-go traffic, which engine oil grade e.g., 5W-30, 5W-20, 10W-40 provides the best balance of engine protection and fuel economy for the Elantra?

Hyundai typically recommends 5W-20 o r 5W-30 synthetic engine oil for the Elantra. However, due to Pakistans hot climate, traffic congestion, and dusty conditions, many experts suggest switching to 5W-30 o r even 10W-30 for better high-temperature protection. These oil grades maintain fuel efficiency while offering added protection against engine wear, especially during long idle times and in urban traffic. Oil should be changed every 5,000 to 7,000 km, o r sooner if youre using local mineral-based oils.
