We pay attention to the maximum ambient temperature variations where the Tucson will circulate. Scales have left in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius.
For example, if the ambient temperature does not exceed 10 degrees Celsius, we have the options of engine oil 5W30 or 0W30.
Now in the case of a warmer city we have other options that we provide proper engine lubrication and long life.

For example, if the city has a range of temperature above 20 degrees Celsius (68 Farenheit approx.) we have three possible oils ot use: 15W40, 10W30 and 10W40.
