The dealer would or should fill in as rated by your own ILSAC GF-6 or SN Plus. Both are allowed, which prefer between these standards? Google these, but they tend to use one of these they have on stock.
Otherwise the oil with the higher HTHS value.

Dealership put 5W-30 in my Elantra N-line (i30 N-line sedan & I20N) It's been over a week and my cars still runs completely fine.
Changed my mind since January, discovered that Mobil make a 0W-40 that is recommended by them for Hyundai.
Is 2500 miles a new UK term or did you mean km?
Had you checked it before, as in when new to be sure you're comsuming oil as opposed to a "short fill"?

Hi all -
New to the forum so probably been discussed a million times. I know people have opinions on oil grades, but looking to stick with the manufacturer recommended for the i20N - can anyone confirm this will be the correct oil? Thanks!

Mine needed topping up at about 2,500km. Now it's at 5,600km but hasn't used a drop since then.
It states in the manual that the car can use a bit of oil during the run in period and it should be kept an eye on/topped up when needed.
Was it full when you got it?
Chances are it may not have been, as they don't always fill them to max line from the factory and I'm not sure if main dealers would top it up to max as part of PDI (worth asking if they did).
Anything in the middle of the min/max on the dipstick is considered fine. But personally I like to keep my levels at max.
You should be able to buy a 1 litre top up bottle from the main dealer or anywhere that sells the spec of oil it needs. I would top it up to max then keep an eye on it over the next few weeks/months.

Only just bought an i20n a month and a half ago I was alarmed to find my engine oil level had dropped to the minimum mark. It was the first time I had checked the level since buying the car brand new.
Is it now possible I may have caused some damage to the engine as before this, the engine was making a ticking noise when cold obviously I have topped it up since with fully synthetic oil that is of the right grade recommend by the owners Manuel.
Please could anybody put my mind in a better place as I'm having kittens right now.

Did you check the oil was at max when collecting the car,how many miles have you covered for it to be on min.
Hi model500 thanks for replying. I have only done 2000 miles since new but yeah sadly I didn't check the oil level when picking up the vehicle as I didn't think I needed to as it was brand new just thought it would of been done by the mechanics when the PDI check was done.
I think if you don't have a baseline, i.e. you don't know if it has dropped or was always at a minimum, then all you can do is monitor it. You haven't done anything wrong, and any issue will be covered under warranty anyway. As long as it was at or above minimum, it shouldn't cause any damage.
Thanks drsonic thanks for your reasuring reply I'll keep a very close eye on all my fluid levels from now on. And hope no warranty work needs to be done in the near future. Thanks again.
Hi petrolhead21,
i think you don't have to worry to much...
As the manual states:
The engine oil consumption may increase whilst you break in a new vehicle and it will be stabilized after driving 6,000 km (4,000 miles).
So, as far the oil level was not under the minium and there was no warning light for oil pressure you are on the safe site...
Like drsonic mentioned, keep an eye on it and enjoy driving...
