What oil do you recommend for a Hyundai Sonata ?

Just got an '07 Sonata today, and want to take as good care of it as possible to make it last the longest. As for future oil changes, what brand of oil should I go with? Hyundai does recommend Quaker State, but I heard that Pennzoil is also very good.What oil do you recommend for a Hyundai Sonata ?
If your are still under your factory warranty, you must change your oil every 3000 miles, or you will void your warranty. With Hyundai's extended powertrain warranty, give them no excuse to not honor any issues that may arise with your engine. As far as what oil to use, Quaker State would be fine. Your oil changes can be done anywhere, as long as you keep a receipt for your service records. Enjoy your Sonata!

penzoil is good but i would go with moible clean 5000, i swear this stuff is great you can go 5000 miles between changes and its still preety cheap i paid 1195 for 5 quarts. when i changed the oil after 5000 miles it still was pretty clean as well not like alot of oils that if you go 5k on it will be blacker than the crude that it comes from. also use a quality filter as well like a bosch or k%26amp;n oil filter. bosch filter is like 5 buck and the k%26amp;n oil filter is like 12 bucks.
the best luck i've had with conventional oils is Castrol GTX. i get the best gas mileage out of it.


after that the mobile 5000 has been the best i've used.





if you are brilliant, and go to synthetic oils (longer life, better fuel economy), i've had the best luck with Castrol Syntec, followed by Quaker State Q power and Pennsoil platinum. i've had weird results from Amsoil and Royal Purple (they give great result at first that quickly drops off), little change with Mobile 1 (very little improvement in fuel economy) and negative results with Valvoline (fuel economy actually dropped vs conventional oil)
