  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

My Genesis oil spec is 5W-30 but I have a synthetic 5W-20 oil for my former Sonata. I am wondering if I can use this for my Genesis.

Use what oil weight the owners manual state to use. If only says 5w-30 then do not use 5w-20. Modern engines are designed to use certain oil weights as recommended by the manufacturer. Using an oil that is too thin could cause some serious engine issues.
