Korean cars are becoming increasingly popular among Russian car enthusiasts. The reason is very simple: the price-quality ratio plus the assembly of Solaris brand machines at Russian territory. This is done by a plant located in the vicinity of St. Petersburg. The new Hyundai Solaris has been recognized for several years in a row as one of the most popular models in Russia. Their owners sooner or later face the problem of choosing a lubricant, and Hyundai oil is the optimal solution for them.

Who is the manufacturer of oil for Hyundai?

Many motorists, afraid of purchasing counterfeit goods, want to find out the truth about who produces motor oil for Hyundai. Its manufacturer is joint venture Hyundai Oilbank. This structure was recently transformed, in 2014, by two industrial giants - Shell and Hyundai. But the oil company itself and its plant under that name have been on the market for a long time - since the 60s of the twentieth century.

New original oil The Hyundai brand has its own name, Xteer, which is an abbreviation for Extreme Steering (“extreme driving”). Gasoline series products are produced for gasoline engines. Premium oils - TOP and TOP-Prime - are universal. Diesel engines are lubricated with products from the Diesel line. In addition, lubricants are produced for powerful motors

trucks and transmissions. The manufacturer claims that its oil for Hyundai cars is a new product. It is created using modern technologies

, has a high level of heat resistance. All lubricants are offered at reasonable prices. You can also find Hyundai 5W30 products released earlier on the market. For example, these include Super Extra Gasoline Engine Oil, Turbo SYN Gasoline Engine Oil, the labels of which bear the name MOBIS. This company is part of the Hyundai group, but does not produce lubricants. She only packages them and sells them to distributors around the world. Such lubricants were produced not only by the Hyundai Oilbank plant, but also by SK Lubricants (ZIC), S-Oil and Michang. Therefore, the labels will differ slightly in the name of the manufacturer.

Range of produced oils

Premium motor oil is available in only two varieties.

From the Gasoline series it will be interesting to consider varieties with a viscosity of 5W 30:

• Gasoline Ultra Protection 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-40 – according to the manufacturer, 100% synthetic lubricant. These products are “tailored” for any type and driving conditions. Designed for gasoline engines that meet API category SN specifications, as well as ILSAC level GF5.
• Gasoline G700 5W-30, 5W-40, 20W-50 – this composition’s base oil is a hydrocracking product, and the label says Synthetic. Therefore, the viscosity index is not so high: 155 for 5W-30 and 168 for 5W-40. The big difference in pour temperatures is surprising. If for 5W30 it is -48°C, which is just excellent, then for 5W40 the figure of 33°C is too low. Such a lubricant will not allow the engine to start at 30°C below zero, although winter viscosity– 5W. The remaining indicators - acid number (1.3) and alkaline number (7.7) are almost the same. The oils are intended for both naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. Complies with class SN (API), as well as GF5 (ILSAC).

The product line also contains lubricants only for diesel engines - the Diesel series.

Spare parts and Consumables, produced under the brand of the automaker, are becoming more common today. This allows you to create products that are most suitable in terms of their characteristics for specific car brands and receive additional benefits from selling your own products.

Hyundai engine oil is known to a narrow circle of consumers. And some car owners who did not operate korean cars mobiles, may have never even heard of this lubricant.

Let's take a quick look at what they are Hyundai lubricants and how justified is their use in the engines of not only Korean, but also other cars.

Where is Hyundai engine oil produced?

Lubricants under the Hyundai brand are today produced by two divisions of the Hyundai Motor Company. Moreover, these are not the same oils produced at different factories, but products that have only a brand in common.

Most common in Russia Hyundai oils, produced by a subsidiary of Mobis. To be more precise, it is called Hyundai/KIA. In some sources, the Mobis company is separated into a separate structural unit, which only reports to Hyundai.

Details about where and by whom Hyundai engine oil is produced - video

The Mobis product line includes synthetic and semi-synthetic motor lubricants suitable for modern and outdated Hyundai engines. Moreover, these lubricants are not produced at Mobis’ own facilities.

The physical creation of the oil itself is now mainly carried out by the Korean company GS Group, which is the manufacturer Kixx lubricants. Over the years, other world-famous manufacturers have also been involved in the production of lubricants. And Mobis handles packaging, branding and sales.

Motor oils have become increasingly popular lately. Hyundai lineup XTeer. These oils are developed and produced by Hyundai Oilbank in conjunction with Shell Corporation.

Moreover, there is information that for cars after 2013, at official service stations at maintenance often flooded Shell oil. And this is a kind of hint that what is bottled in XTeer cans is nothing other than Shell.

Popular products and their areas of application

Let's look at several popular motor oils produced under the Hyundai brand.

Quality and reviews from car owners

A distinctive feature of Hyundai motor oils is low price. Despite their Japanese origin, the price of lubricants, regardless of the manufacturer, is at the average level.

And if we take into account only imported lubricants, then the cost of Hyundai oils will be significantly lower than the average price tag. There is a lot of information in the public domain about the quality and performance properties. And mostly Hyundai oils are characterized on the positive side.

Remarkable fact

Some car owners, not trusting a product with such a low price tag, purchased popular European lubricants instead of the original Hyundai oil. The effect was negative in many cases.

Waste consumption increased. The engine started to become noisier. Sometimes there was a knocking sound from the hydraulic compensators. After returning to the original oil, the negative manifestations gradually disappeared.

This suggests that during the development of lubricants, painstaking work was carried out to determine compatibility with Hyundai engines and KIA.

The use of Hyundai oils in engines of non-Korean cars is also possible. However, you need to take into account the tolerances and specifications recommended by the car manufacturer.

It is also necessary to carefully monitor the car during the first kilometers of the run. Listen to the operation of the hydraulic compensators and the engine as a whole, check the lubricant level and its condition.

Another pleasant plus for buyers of Hyundai oils is the fact that these lubricants are rarely counterfeited. Therefore, you can purchase them at almost any point of sale.

For guard car engine from premature wear parts, motor oil is used. One of prominent representatives This category is Hyundai 5w30 oil. The production and sale of this product is carried out by the company of the same name - Hyundai. The manufacturer "Hyundai" is located at automotive market for quite a long time and during this time it has proven itself to be excellent. The Korean company produces reliable and quality cars, which have earned popularity around the world, as well as components and lubricants for them.

Hyundai oil review

The concern produces Hyundai 5w30 oil not only for its own cars, but also for the Kia brand. The lubricant Perfectly compatible with Kia products. Today, the Hyundai manufacturer boasts a wide range of products necessary for the effective functioning of various engines in a variety of conditions and situations.

As part of the Hyundai auto concern, there is a company called Hyundai Oilbank, which is responsible for the extraction and processing of petroleum products, from which lubricants are subsequently produced. The line of these products contains, in addition to Hyundai 5w30 oil, transmission oils, lubricants for automatic and mechanical boxes gears, brake fluids, oils for power steering and some other materials.

Motor oils of the Hyundai concern are produced synthetic and semi-synthetic. The use of one or another oil in the engine directly depends on the mileage vehicle. Most often in practice, synthetic or semi-synthetic oil is poured into the engine.

Characteristics of 5w30 oil

"Hyundai 5w30" has the characteristic of all-season use. This implies justified use of it both in the cold season and in the hot period.

The first number in the marking determines the viscosity of the oil. When using oil with factor 5 at low temperatures, the first (cold) start of the engine is easier, and it is easier for the lubricant to spread throughout the parts. The higher the coefficient, the greater the percentage of viscosity lubricating oil in high temperature conditions. These types of oils are most in demand and popular among car owners.

To be more specific, parameter 5w allows the initial start of the engine at a temperature of minus 35 ℃ without unwanted damage to the rubbing components. This is determined by subtracting the first number in front of W from 40. The resulting result will give the minimum temperature during which the engine can be started and the operating function of the oil pump will be performed with proper efficiency.

Temperature of use

The minimum temperature for using Hyundai 5w30 oil is at least 30 ℃. It should be understood and taken into account that the labeling data provides approximate values. Specific characteristics will depend directly on the vehicle engine itself. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the urgent recommendations of lubricant manufacturers when changing the oil. A large number of products are restricted for use within limits not exceeding minus 20 ℃. Therefore, exploitation in data climatic conditions does not make any difference in the use of oils labeled 15W40 and 5W30. Such lubricants can be used in very severe frosts.

But it should be taken into account that having a “weak” charge battery or a worn starter, it is best to use Hyundai 5w30 synthetic oil. Its small size will provide a greater probability of starting a cold engine in unfavorable climatic realities. This will save the engine from premature breakdowns, and the car owner from the loss of unnecessary wasted nerves and finances.

High temperature viscosity

It is worth paying attention to this important factor, as the viscosity of the product at high temperatures. This coefficient is placed after W. In a lubricant marked 5w30, it corresponds to 30 and indicates critical viscosity indicators at operating conditions of 100-150 ℃. An increase in the coefficient will characterize an increase in viscosity under operating conditions with elevated temperatures.

When choosing engine oil, you must be guided by the manufacturer's recommendations. The principle of "more is better" in this case will only harm the engine unit. Therefore, an oil with a certain viscosity level must have a justified application.

Variety of products 5w30

Hyundai 5w30 oil is all-season and is used in both conventional engines, and in turbocharged units. This product is gentle on the vehicle's exhaust gas cleaning system.

In the 5w30 product line, oils are represented by the Prem LS Diesel brand of the Hyundai concern. Used in the lungs cargo models vehicles, minibuses and SUVs. Characterized by reliable lubrication of engine rubbing parts during high loads, have maximum cleaning properties, which allow you to maintain the internal cleanliness of the engine. The period for changing the oil at the next service has been extended.

Hyundai produces Super Extra Gasoline 5w30 motor oil for gasoline engines. It has highly effective reduces the friction of rotating components several times and, not least of all, affects fuel consumption in the direction of reduction.

Nowadays, the trend among automakers to produce motor oils under their own brands continues to actively develop. Although in fact the company itself takes little part in the development of the lubricant formulation, such motor fluids are optimally suited to the characteristics of the engines. The merged Hyundai-Kia company was no exception. These Korean developers used to use for their cars, but then began to create their own oil brand. It was called Mobis. Modern oils Kia Hyundai meet the most stringent quality requirements, are considered the best solution for Korean cars, and can also be poured into engines of other countries, Korea, Europe, etc.

Engine oil from the KIA-Hyundai concern is not produced at the company's production facilities.

Production Features

Kia-Hyundai does not have its own factories that would develop and produce motor oils. The principle of concluding partnership agreements is now being applied. The automaker signs a contract with the manufacturer of motor lubricants, and he develops a special composition for the characteristics of the car. The result is an optimal motor lubricant in all respects. The only objective drawback is usually the high price when compared with analogues. Some believe that oil for Kia Hyundai is produced exclusively at the facilities of the SK concern, which produces the well-known ZIC oil. This is true, but only partially. It doesn’t matter to consumers where exactly the oils are produced. All production facilities operate according to the same scheme, using identical components and recipes. The quality does not change depending on the place of origin. This is what the automaker itself says. Based on consumer reviews, the words are true.

In total, 4 enterprises are working on branded original oils of the Kia-Hyundai auto concern:

1. S-Oil. They also produce motor lubricants under the Dragon brand. Quite a popular option for modern cars and used foreign cars.
2. This company belongs to . The choice in favor of a partnership with this company on the part of Kia-Hyundai can be understood, since ZIC motor fluids are currently considered one of the best at their adequate cost.
3. GS Caltex. A fairly large manufacturer of motor lubricants, which owns the authorship of such a brand. These compositions are produced at the facilities of the represented company.
4. You are probably familiar with oil such as Eneos. High quality, relatively affordable and universal lubricant for different cars.

Such cooperation with several companies simultaneously allows us to supply oils to different markets where Kia and Hyundai cars are represented. Using Kia-Hyundai motor lubricants produced under the general Mobis brand, you can use the following cars:

• Sonata;
• Accent;
• Tucson;
• Santa Fe;
• Elantra;
• ix35;
• Cee'd;
• Cerato;
• Rio, etc.

The entire model range of the two united Korean automakers from the factory uses own oils Mobis. Although some experts believe that these fluids should only be poured into cars from 2010, in practice the compositions have proven their consistency and suitability on models of earlier years. Therefore, car owners can pour lubricant into both new Korean cars and used old Kia and Hyundai models. The only question is how often the engine oil is changed.

Types and characteristics

When trying to find a suitable composition for engines installed in Korean cars, you need to carefully study the type, characteristics and even the current condition of the power unit. This determines which types of Hyundai-Kia oil are best for you. Original lubricants differ not only in the volume of containers into which the oils are poured, but also in the tolerances technical parameters and purpose. Plus, each composition has its own catalog number, which simplifies the search for a composition you already know.

Let's look at the most popular and widespread original motor oils co-production Hyundai-Kia. This list lubricant line will make it possible to understand what composition and for what cars you need to use.
