If you drive a Hyundai Palisade around Denver, then you know how important it is to change its oil regularly. That’s why it’s important to know what type of oil your Hyundai Palisade needs. Most Hyundai Palisade models use 5W-30 oil, but the specific type your Palisade needs will vary depending on the year and trim you drive.
When was the last time your Hyundai Palisade had an oil change? If you’re unsure when to change the oil in your Hyundai Palisade, refer to our guide below. We go over the ins and outs of Hyundai Palisade oil care and everything else you need to know.
Regardless of the recommended Hyundai Palisade oil type for your model, it’s still advisable to follow a somewhat universal oil change schedule. For Hyundai Palisade models that use conventional oil, it’s recommended to change the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. If your Hyundai Palisade uses synthetic oil, you can stretch out the oil changes to 7,500 to 10,000 miles. The specific number of miles you should go between oil changes depends on the year and trim of the Hyundai Palisade you drive, as well as your driving habits around Centennial.
Be sure to check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations on when you should change the oil in your Hyundai Palisade.
You should change the oil filter in your Hyundai Palisade every time you change the oil. If you have your oil changed at a service center, like the one at McDonald Hyundai, the technicians should replace the oil filter when the oil is changed. If you prefer to change the oil yourself, you can always find a Hyundai Palisade oil filter from our parts store.
Earlier, we mentioned that a Hyundai Palisade can use conventional or synthetic oil. If you heard those two terms and weren’t sure what they meant, you’re not alone. Conventional oil is the type most cars and most Hyundai Palisade models use. It’s mined from the ground and is the more affordable option.
Synthetic oil is a blend of conventional oil and artificial chemicals, and it’s used more often on high-performance vehicles. Synthetic oil is usually more expensive than conventional oil, but it lasts significantly longer.
