The Genesis G70 has been produced from 2019 to present with multiple engine options. Using the correct oil capacity, viscosity, and type is essential for maintaining performance and longevity. This guide lists all model years with full oil specifications and maintenance recommendations.
Genesis offers three distinct turbocharged engines across the G70 lineup, each with specific oil requirements. The 2.0L turbocharged inline-four was standard from 2019 to 2023, while the 2.5L turbocharged inline-four replaced it starting in 2024.
The available 3.3L twin-turbo V6 has remained an option throughout the production run, delivering higher performance with different oil specifications.
All Genesis G70 models require full synthetic motor oil for optimal engine protection and performance. Using manufacturer-specified oil helps ensure proper lubrication, reduces engine wear, and maintains warranty coverage across normal and severe driving conditions.

Oil Maintenance and Service Tips
Regular Oil Level Checks
Check the engine oil level every 1,000 miles or before long trips to ensure proper lubrication. Park the vehicle on level ground and wait five minutes after shutting off the engine before checking the dipstick. If oil level falls below the minimum mark, add the recommended oil type in small amounts and recheck frequently.
Oil Change Best Practices
Change engine oil and filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles under normal driving conditions or at least once every 12 months, whichever comes first. Severe driving conditions require more frequent oil changes every 3,750 to 5,000 miles. Severe conditions include frequent short trips, extensive idling, dusty environments, trailer towing, or high-speed driving.
Oil Filter Replacement
Always replace the oil filter during every oil change to ensure proper filtration and engine protection. Use OEM filters or equivalent high-quality aftermarket options like Mobil 1 or K&N designed for your specific engine. The oil filter canister uses a 27mm socket for removal and requires new O-rings with each installation.
Torque Specifications
Tighten the oil drain plug to 25-32 lb-ft using a new crush washer each time to prevent leaks. The oil filter housing should be torqued to 24-28 lb-ft with new O-ring seals properly seated. Over-tightening can damage threads while under-tightening may cause oil leaks.
| Driving Condition | Oil Change Interval |
|---|---|
| Normal Driving | 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months |
| Severe Driving | 3,750-5,000 miles or 6 months |
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of oil does a Genesis G70 use?
The Genesis G70 uses full synthetic motor oil in all model years and engine configurations. The 2.0L and 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engines require SAE 5W-30 or 0W-30 viscosity, while the 3.3L twin-turbo V6 uses SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40. Genesis recommends Quaker State products but any full synthetic oil meeting the specifications is acceptable.
How much oil does a Genesis G70 take?
The Genesis G70 oil capacity varies by engine type. The 2.0L turbo holds 6.0 quarts with filter, the 2.5L turbo requires 6.2 quarts, and the 3.3L twin-turbo V6 needs 7.3 quarts. These capacities include the oil filter replacement during a standard oil change service.
What is the recommended oil type for a Genesis G70?
Genesis recommends full synthetic motor oil for all G70 models to provide superior engine protection and performance. Full synthetic oil offers better temperature resistance, improved lubrication, enhanced cleaning properties, and longer service intervals compared to conventional oil. For the 2.0L engine, use 0W-30 meeting ACEA C2 specifications or 5W-30, while the 3.3L V6 accepts 5W-30 or 5W-40.
What is the oil change interval for a Genesis G70?
The Genesis G70 oil change interval is every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or 12 months under normal driving conditions. Severe driving requires more frequent changes every 3,750 to 5,000 miles. Always consult the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual for specific recommendations based on driving habits.
Can I use 5W-40 oil in my Genesis G70?
The 3.3L twin-turbo V6 engine accepts both SAE 5W-30 and 5W-40 viscosity grades. The 2.0L and 2.5L four-cylinder engines should use 5W-30 or 0W-30 as specified. Using 5W-40 in the V6 provides additional protection in hot climates or high-performance driving conditions.
What oil filter fits a Genesis G70?
The Genesis G70 uses different oil filters depending on the engine. The 2.0L and 2.5L engines use OEM part 26300-35503 or equivalents like Mobil 1 M1-104A and K&N SO-1004. The 3.3L V6 requires OEM part 26300-35530 or Mobil 1 M1-110A and K&N HP-7063 filters. Always verify fitment for your specific model year and engine.
Conclusion
The Genesis G70 requires full synthetic motor oil in capacities ranging from 6.0 to 7.3 quarts depending on engine type. Using the correct SAE viscosity grade and following recommended oil change intervals ensures optimal engine performance and longevity. Always refer to your owner’s manual for specific requirements and use manufacturer-approved oil specifications to maintain warranty coverage.
Proper oil maintenance protects turbocharged engines from excessive wear and heat stress. Regular oil level checks and timely filter replacements contribute to reliable performance and extended engine life across all driving conditions.
