Please recommend Engine and transmission oil for Hyundai sonata 2011. I used mobile super the last time (first oil change upon arrival).

Apologies for the late reply. Nairaland has not been allowing me reply messages.

Please use the recommended Hyndai/Kia SPI-IV for your vehicle. This is a modified version of the previous SP-III oil.
Thanks

Apologies for the late reply. Recommended atf for your transmission is Toyota T-IV.

As for your engine oil, we have the American Castrol GTX which comes in 5quarts and 1quart gallon.
If your engine is a 4.5L 6cyl engine, Engine oil capacity is 7.8quarts or 7.4litres.

Recommended atf for your car is Toyota Type III but has been replaced with Toyota Type-IV.

As for engine oil, recommended is SAE 5w30. However, make sure there are no oil leaks.

Good oil brands I'll recommend are the American Mobil1 and Castrol. Note that this is not available in their stations.

The SP-IV falls into synthetic category of ATF. This is an upgrade from the SP-III.
Ford Mercon LV also falls into this category incase the SP-IV is not obtainable.

Answer is still no because the weights and specs of the two won't be the same. E.g. even if you put 15w30 from two brands, would still be a problem. Same goes for ATF. Everything is available by the liter.

Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by nickxtra(m): 1:25pm On May 31, 2018

ebuks4ever:

Your engine needs 4.2Litres of 5w30 Engine Oil
Your Transmission needs Type T-IV Toyota ATF

Pls, how can I get Toyota Type T-IV ATF, the cost and the volume of liters required by my Toyota Corolla S 2007 gear box?
