Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / April 20072005 XG350 oil question
I live in Peoria AZ. In the summer I have seen it hit 110-115 regularly. I am planning to do my oil changes. I note in the XG350 2005 owner's manual it recommends 5W-20 or 5W-30. With our summer temperature extremes I wonder if 20W-50 would be more appropriate. Also where is the oil filter located and is it spin on or cartridge? Thank you, Seamus J. Wilson >I live in Peoria AZ. In the summer I have seen it hit 110-115 regularly. > I am planning to do my oil changes.

My guess is that the engineers that developed the engine have at least read about summers in Arizona, if not actually have been there at some time. If 20W-50 was appropriate, they may have put a footnote for Arizona drivers. > Also where is the oil filter located and is it spin on or cartridge? > Thank you, > Seamus J.

It will allow you to find a diagram showing the filter location.  SignatureEd http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ Thank you Ed for the kind help. Best, Seamus J. >>I live in Peoria AZ.

I live in Northern AZ (similar climate to PHX) and my Hyundai dealer recommends and uses Castrol GTX 10W30 in 2006 Sonata LX Just my dos centavos... P.S.- 110, in the evening, right?
