Synthetic oily?

Asked by GuruH1D2S Jul 23, 2019 at 12:06 PM about the 2013 Hyundai Sonata

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2013 Hyundai Sonata.      Had oil changed they put
synthetic oil in it and over filled about a quart. 2
days later less than 100 miles and the motor is
locked up.   Could it be from changing from regular
oil to the synthetic oil

2 Answers

The oil type would not be the cause but over filling it could be. I think they may owe you an engine.

100

That Sonata is covered up to 120k miles regardless of how many owners the car has had. There is a known defect in the engine crank case with the crank itself. Go to a Hyundai dealer and get it fixed. https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2013/HYUNDAI/SONATA
