Oil Maintenance and Service Tips
Checking Oil Level
Check engine oil level when the engine is cold and the vehicle is parked on level ground. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert fully, and check the level between minimum and maximum marks. Add oil gradually if below the minimum mark, rechecking after each addition.
Oil Change Procedure
Warm the engine to operating temperature before draining to ensure complete oil evacuation. Remove the oil drain plug using a 17mm socket and allow oil to drain completely into an appropriate container. Replace the drain plug crush washer at each oil change to prevent leaks.
Filter Replacement
The oil filter is located under the engine and requires removing the undertray for access. Use a 24mm socket to remove the filter housing cap, then extract the old filter element. Install new O-rings on the filter housing cap before reinstalling. Torque the filter cap to 23-28 lb-ft and the drain plug to 25-33 lb-ft.
Severe Service Conditions
Reduce oil change intervals to 3,000-5,000 miles under severe driving conditions including frequent short trips, extensive idling, dusty environments, or trailer towing. Turbocharged engines benefit from more frequent oil changes to maintain turbocharger efficiency. Check oil level regularly between changes to ensure adequate lubrication.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of oil does a Genesis G80 use?
The Genesis G80 uses full synthetic motor oil in either SAE 0W-30 for 2021-2025 models or SAE 5W-30 for 2017-2020 models. All Genesis vehicles require full synthetic oil meeting API SN or higher specifications for optimal engine protection. Never use conventional or synthetic blend oils in Genesis engines.
How much oil does a Genesis G80 take?
The Genesis G80 oil capacity varies by engine type and model year. The 2.5T engine requires 6.6 quarts, the 3.5T requires 7.4 quarts, the 3.3T and 3.8L require 7.3 quarts, and the 5.0L V8 requires 8.5-9.7 quarts depending on drivetrain configuration. Always verify capacity in the owner’s manual for your specific model.
What is the recommended oil type for a Genesis G80?
Full synthetic motor oil is required for all Genesis G80 models. Second-generation models (2021-2025) require SAE 0W-30 viscosity, while first-generation models (2017-2020) use SAE 5W-30. The oil must meet API SN, SN Plus, or higher specifications for proper engine protection.
What is the oil change interval for a Genesis G80?
The recommended oil change interval is every 7,500 miles or 12 months for most Genesis G80 engines. The 3.3T turbocharged engine requires more frequent changes at 6,000 miles or 12 months. Under severe driving conditions, reduce intervals to 3,000-5,000 miles to maintain optimal engine protection.
Can I use 5W-40 oil in my Genesis G80?
Use only the viscosity grade specified for your model year. Second-generation G80 models (2021-2025) specifically require 0W-30 and should not use 5W-40. First-generation models (2017-2020) require 5W-30 for optimal performance. Using incorrect viscosity can affect engine protection and fuel economy.
What oil filter fits the Genesis G80?
First-generation G80 models (2017-2020) use WIX WL10033, Mobil 1 M1-110A, or equivalent cartridge filters. Second-generation models (2021-2025) use WIX WL10237, Mobil 1 M1C-156A, or equivalent filters. Always replace the filter housing O-rings and drain plug crush washer when changing oil.
Conclusion
The Genesis G80 requires specific oil capacities ranging from 6.6 to 9.7 quarts depending on engine size and drivetrain configuration. Second-generation models require SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil, while first-generation models use SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil. Following manufacturer-approved oil specifications ensures optimal engine protection, performance, and longevity. Regular oil changes at recommended intervals and proper maintenance procedures are essential for reliable Genesis G80 operation.
