Advise needed on Elantra 2015 1st oil change

[angel106]

Please advise grade on 1st oil change for hot region, and mileage as well. I have done 1800kms, this one is different car, but same specs as earlier thread and sound is still same, only difference is, it never goes off even after warm up, and if AC is ON, makes more noise, like its heavy. Note that that I switched on AC since out of showroom.

go for mobil 1 5w-50 5W-50 Synthetic Oil | Mobil 1™ 5W-50

[aamirq]

use mobil1 5w50 since 5w50 is considered to be an all year round engine oil! meaning sardiyoon mein bhi sae and gharmiyoon mein bhi sae!

bhaie yahan garimian he hoti hien, sardioun ki batien na karien
temp here varies from 31-48, its 1st oil change, castrol mien koi grade suggest karien

Bro Its better to change the oil and filter both from company, for atleast 30K kms, and also service... As you know that new car needs more care for atleast 20 to 30K kms in this region. And you already have Elantra, which will create too much problem in future if not taken care well... I hope that you will understand my point...

Also tell me that how many free service maintenance is provided to you by company?? As per my knowledge the free service is upto 5000km, in which they will only charge from you the parts, oils etc charges (this is the case with Toyota)...

@faisalayub
bro. i have been to them, they say, they will do 1st service only when mileage is at 5000 km, even oil, my point is, shall i go for oil change or not at 1800km and if yes, which grade shall i go for......????

@angel106 every new car comes with a book in glove box the book is called Owner's manual please read that so there will be less anxiety for you and more knowledge

bhai mein neh bhi saudi mein 6 saal guzaray hein! and toyota ka engine oil worked perfectly in my 2001 model camry! temperatures use to reach 50c and i never had a problem with engine oil when it came to starting ya high speed highway driving! to yeh castrol wastrol sab choro if u cant find mobil1 put toyota ka engine oil in it!
and toyota ka oil har jagay mein ahsani seh mil jata hai khonaini pumps etc etc...and im sure toyota engine oil is way better than castrol! and the reason why im saying that the toyota oil over there is good coz i use to speed on the highways there and reach 190-200km/hr and the engine oil never burnt!
castrol ka itna naam nae hai when it comes to cars! castrol is well known when it comes to motorbikes!

My father used to use Castrol 10W-40 in his Chevy Caprice SS Holden 5.7L 2006 in KSA and he drove that car for 520000km and only regular oil changes with radiator replacement only and then he sold the car. I still remembered its freezing AC in 50C temps of KSA

Brother Castrol is most used oil in KSA. and Castrol is leading manufacturer of engine oil, Mobil 1 is also good but very few shops sell Mobil 1 or LM in KSA mostly Castrol Motor Craft AC Delco or Toyota is used

Brother I bought Kia cerato which has the same technology as of Elantra, here in dubai they gave me first service after 1000 kms which was free of cost they changed the oil and oil filter. After that when I went to them for first service at 5k kms I bought a contract which is valid for 20k kms. So in my opinion you should get the service from Hyundais service centre. Just a suggestion though, rest is up to you.

@ahmedraja1996 All vehicles destined for Middle East export have a few parts changed thats why they are able to handle the extreme heat and are able to cool well in such high temp 50c + thats why they are called GCC spec wali cars!
their radiator,radiator fan,hose pipes,thermostat valve,cooling coil,evaporator,compressor all these are changed! its called the hot weather package!

Have heard GCC specs but hot weather package never heard that but it depends only how the car is maintained
