Oil Specifications for the 2024 Hyundai Tucson
Hyundai has come a long way from its economy-brand reputation, and the 2024 Tucson's engine specifications reflect that — 0W-20 full synthetic at 5.3 quarts, meeting API SP standards. Hyundai and its sister brand Kia share many engines and drivetrain components, so specifications are often similar across both lineups.
Hyundai recommends 7,500-mile intervals. One thing worth noting: Hyundai vehicles use DOT 4 brake fluid rather than the DOT 3 that Japanese manufacturers typically specify. DOT 4 has a higher boiling point, which provides better braking performance under sustained hard braking. If you're ever topping off brake fluid, make sure you're using DOT 4, not DOT 3 — check the cap on your brake fluid reservoir to confirm.
