I know everyone recommends their own premium favorite oil, so let's talk about it....

What should I put in my Interceptor IV? 3cylinder Hyundai Kappa II engine....?

Are you sure it's a 3 cylinder?

This is what I use.

@donh I also have an Interceptor IV - it's a 3 cylinder DOHC Hyundai engine.

The Westward owner’s manual recommends 0W-20.

I’m in the North/West and use 0W-20 during the cold months, 5W-20 during the warm months.

Interesting. I didn’t think Hyundai made a 3 cylinder. I heard that late model ones have a 3 cylinder Ford in them.

@donh It is in fact a Hyundai Kappa II 1.0i DOHC Multi Point Injection (G3LA). Its rated by Hyundai at 69hp, Westward's rating is a flat 70hp. I must admit it scoots quite well, I won a race on main st with a 1990's Chevy Silverado. 🤣

@donh These engines were only released in limited production for the Hyundai i10 in the India market. Westward was able to secure a deal with Hyundai for these engines in 2011 and up I believe...

I’ll have to keep my eyes open for one of those.
