Your owner's manual specifies the exact oil grade (viscosity) and type your Genesis engine is engineered for-usually a premium synthetic blend or full synthetic. Using the right oil keeps your engine clean, fuel-efficient, and properly protected. While aftermarket options exist, genuine Genesis OEM oil and filters are formulated and tested for your specific model and ensure warranty protection. Our Service team can tell you exactly what your car needs and why. **Not sure what your Genesis takes?** Call (630) 598-9950. We'll look up your vehicle and explain the recommendation so you understand why it matters.
