Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower-viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold-weather performance. However, higher-viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine damage.
The change of generation has brought the best-selling crossover of the Hyundai lineup increased dimensions (plus 20 mm of length and 15 mm of width) and striking differences in appearance. The main of them is the huge grille with integrated LED lights, visually appearing only after turning on, very sharp edges of the side body panels and square wheel arches, as well as sharp teeth of the rear lights. All these elements are part of the Parametric Jewels design leitmotif. The SUV can be equipped with full diode lights (headlights are hidden in the bumper), a panoramic sunroof, and 19-inch wheels.
Interior design was also created from scratch. Its basis – is the visual separation of the driver and passenger space. It is emphasized by two decorative lines, which begin in the doors and end in a central display unit (air deflectors are integrated into this structure). The display itself is 10.25-inch (in simpler versions – 8-inch), and under it, there is a fully touch screen control panel of the multimedia system and “climate.” This Tucson has a 10.25-inch panel without a visor instead of usual scales and buttons instead of a gearbox selector.
