If you’re looking to upgrade from the conventional 2018 Genesis* G80* Oil Type for your 3.3 or 3.8 liter engine, AMSOIL’s Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil (7.3 quarts with filter) is a good choice. The proper viscosity for G80*s with a 5.0-liter engine is AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil. When equipped with all-wheel drive, the 5.0-liter engine has an oil capacity of 9.7 quarts with the filter, but when equipped with rear-wheel drive, it has an oil capacity of 8.5 quarts with the filter.
AMSOIL’s engineers crafted this premium motor oil from the highest quality 100% synthetic base oils available, selecting those with a high polarity because they provide a thick fluid layer that effectively separates metal surfaces.
This synthetic engine oil composition employs heavy-duty anti-wear and friction modifier compounds to further decrease wear in metal-to-metal contact zones for optimal engine life.
This one-of-a-kind synthetic engine oil provides more engine protection in your G80* against wear and horsepower loss than the industry norm, therefore prolonging the life of important engine components such as camshafts and pistons.
