Factory oil specification for the 2020–2025 Hyundai Tucson.
The 2.5L engine uses 0W-20 full synthetic. The 1.6L turbo hybrid also uses 0W-20. Some sources list 5W-20 as acceptable; check the oil cap for the exact grade. Change the oil every 7,500 miles or 12 months.
The first number (0W or 5W) is how the oil flows when cold — lower is better for cold starts. The second number (20 or 30) is how thick it stays when the engine is hot. "Full synthetic" is made in a lab, not refined from crude, so it lasts longer and protects better at high temperatures. Always use the viscosity your manual calls for — thicker is not better.
Change the oil at the interval above, or once a year if you drive less. If you tow, drive in extreme heat, or do lots of short trips, change it sooner.
