What Oil Does Your Genesis Take?

If you drive a Genesis sedan or SUV, you are familiar with the refined performance and luxurious ride quality that models like the G70 and GV80 bring to the streets of Sugar Land. Regular oil changes using the correct type of oil will help your model deliver consistent performance. So, what is the best oil to use in your Genesis? All Genesis vehicles require full synthetic oil, but the viscosity may vary by model and configuration. Learn more about Genesis oil types with Genesis of Southwest Houston below, and contact us with any questions.

Recommended Genesis Oil Types

Full synthetic is the only grade of oil that should be used in your Genesis vehicle’s engine, as it contains special properties that keep the engine optimally clean and performing smoothly during trips from Pearland/Friendswood to Missouri City. The recommended SAE viscosity number varies by model and trim level, so you will need to consult your owner’s manual for the most precise information regarding your Genesis oil type. Most new models require one of these two viscosities: 

• SAE 0W-30 full synthetic motor oil
• SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil

In addition to checking your owner’s manual for model-specific oil requirements, you are welcome to call our service team at anytime for assistance.
