The 2020 Hyundai Tucson with the 2.4-liter engine typically uses about 4.7 quarts (roughly 4.4 liters) of motor oil when you replace the oil and the filter. If you’re not replacing the filter, the capacity is closer to about 4.2 quarts (around 4.0 liters).
Oil capacity and filter specifics
Oil capacity figures are usually given with and without the oil filter. For the 2020 Tucson 2.4 L, the common specification you’ll see from service data is the capacity with the filter installed, along with a smaller figure for scenarios where a filter change isn’t performed.
- 4.7 quarts (4.4 liters) of engine oil, including the filter
- 4.2 quarts (4.0 liters) of engine oil, without replacing the filter
When planning an oil change, most technicians and manuals default to the capacity that includes the filter, and you should always confirm with your owner's manual or dealership guidance for your exact vehicle configuration.
Oil type and service intervals
Using the correct oil type and adhering to recommended service intervals are essential for optimal engine life in the 2.4 L Tucson. The following guidance reflects common manufacturer recommendations, with adjustments for climate and driving conditions.
- Viscosity: typically 5W-20 synthetic oil is recommended; 0W-20 may be acceptable in colder climates, but always verify in the owner’s manual
- Change interval: about every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) under normal driving with synthetic oil; in severe or demanding conditions, plan for 3,000–5,000 miles (5,000–8,000 km)
- Filter: use a Hyundai-approved or OEM oil filter to ensure proper sealing and filtration
Because regional conditions and model variants can affect requirements, consult the 2020 Tucson owner's manual or your Hyundai dealer for the exact specification for your vehicle.
Summary
For the 2020 Hyundai Tucson 2.4 L, expect an oil capacity of about 4.7 quarts with the filter installed (roughly 4.4 liters), or about 4.2 quarts without replacing the filter. Use a 5W-20 synthetic oil as the standard recommendation, and plan oil changes roughly every 7,500 miles under normal conditions (more often in severe driving). Always follow the manufacturer’s official guidance for your specific vehicle and region.
