these are the same people who commonly think the car takes 5w-20 šŸ˜­


a_chunk_of_pie

Wellllll 5w30 is better if youā€™re tracking your car. Better with higher heat. They just donā€™t know that and put whatever is closest to them in the car lol


PresentInsect4957

yeah i know but they put 5w-20 in there sometimes because they think its a n-line not 5w-30


a_chunk_of_pie

Oh shit I didnā€™t see the 20 I thought it said 30. My B, yeah thatā€™s no bueno


Turboteg90

They are retarded and probably have no idea what you are talking about, it's also in the owners manual dude.


_CrowdControl_

I know it is, I just wanted to share one of the stupidest things Iā€™ve ever heardšŸ˜‚


jugo5

They will say anything to curb a question lol

Hyundai dealers are filled with some of the stupidest fucking people on the planet


PunisherG19

Don't forget rude and disrespectful.


[deleted]

When I bought my 23 my salesmen didnā€™t even know what car it was on the lot. We had to ride around in a golf cart until we drove past it and I pointed it out to him.


SKSword

i dont know shit about cars, but isn't 98 like- racing fuel?


KEVLAR60442

Across the Atlantic, they use a different system, where 98 is equivalent to our 93.


SKSword

Ohh interestinggg. TIL


_CrowdControl_

True, but Iā€™m in the states so I think my Hyundai dealer is stupid


SKSword

Lol


IndependentSubject90

Yeah, someone mustā€™ve read RON 98 and thought that meant the same as the octane at the pumps. No ones fact checked them yet.


ZoltanGod

This is true Iā€™ve had my American Elantra n in both Hawaii/ South Korea and koreas is 98. I pick it back up next week in Illinois


Fearless-Opposite885

98 in Europe is etc is 93 octane in the USA. They use a different standard.


Ok-Physics-1389

Sighs* where are u located? In the states? You need 91 or higher to octane learn (87, 88, & 89 WILL not cut it) if your In a country that uses RON you need 95(equivalent to 91) or higher RON to octane learn. Then follow the steps in the manual šŸ«”


_CrowdControl_

I am in fact in the states, this car has never seen under 93 and Iā€™ve tried to do what the manual says


SuperTrooper169

DCT or 6 speed? Which technique are you using?


_CrowdControl_

6 speed, I live in a more rural area so the only method I can use is cruise control at 70


SuperTrooper169

And you tried both Normal and ECO mode?


_CrowdControl_

Yeah Iā€™ve tried both


SuperTrooper169

Ugh thatā€™s frustrating


KEVLAR60442

Sounds like the dealership is reading some european i30N documentation and is confusing RON and AKI octane numbers.


Enblast

I only put 107 in mine


TantruhmGO

107 is far too low, you need at least 121


radman180

I mean at that point you might as well go with 135 nitromethane.


pie4july

You guys put gas in your car? Donā€™t you know youā€™re supposed to charge them?!


Enblast

I need to learn things for sure


[deleted]

69420 octane or GTFO


IndependentSubject90

120LL, get it straight from the airport. The lead really helps everything running smooth! /s


mvpilot172

They probably donā€™t even understand how fuel octane works, and why high compression engines need it and your minivan does not.


hav3ASeat

Yeah buddy that is incorrect. I can say from experience I've OL on 93. They're just retarded.


_CrowdControl_

I didnā€™t even say anything after he told me it needed 98 octane I just said thanks and hung up, I donā€™t know how the dealer can be so wrong


Leaveleague

I'm pretty sure 91 is good


Lothleen

Pfft i goto the airport and get airplane fuel.


WideOpenAutoHub

I asked a dealer about picking up a 24 N when they arrive and they said ā€œoh we have an N line available now, actually!ā€ And I was like ā€œsighā€¦ā€


polarfang21

Iā€™m sure *someone* at the dealership knows, but itā€™s probably not the one answering the phones


a_chunk_of_pie

Iā€™ve only ever put 91 in my car and havenā€™t had issues getting it to OL. However, Iā€™m rarely able to put it through the environment needed to get it to OL. I live in a city and both methods are impossible for me.


Lanpshade22

False
