Q
Should I buy a 2018 Hyundai Tucson?
The 2018 Hyundai Tucson is a solid SUV choice for Malaysian families. Under the hood, you'll find either a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine or a peppy 1.6T turbo – both deliver smooth power and decent fuel efficiency, making it equally at home in city traffic or on long highway drives. Step inside, and you're greeted with a spacious cabin; the rear legroom and boot capacity are particularly family-friendly, easily swallowing all your gear for weekend getaways. When it comes to features, Hyundai hasn't skimped. Standard kit includes handy stuff like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a reverse camera. Move up to the higher trims, and you'll score nice-to-haves like a panoramic sunroof and power tailgate, which really up the convenience factor. Safety-wise, it checks the boxes with six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and hill-start assist – all the mainstream essentials you'd expect. Now, a couple of things to note. Some owners mention the suspension is on the firmer side, which can take the edge off comfort on Malaysia's less-than-perfect road surfaces. Also, if resale value is a top priority, it doesn't quite match the retention rates of its Japanese rivals. So, who is this Tucson for? If your budget is around RM100k, and you value bang for your buck with a good level of kit, the 2018 Tucson is definitely worth a look. Just be sure to check the service records and take it for a thorough test drive to ensure it's in good shape. Competitors like the Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 might have the edge in terms of resale value and driving dynamics, but the Tucson fights back with its feature list and price point – ideal for shoppers who prioritize practicality over badge prestige.

Q
What kind of oil does a 2018 Hyundai Tucson take?
For the 2018 Hyundai Tucson in Malaysia, the recommended oil viscosity is typically 5W-20 or 5W-30 full synthetic oil. The exact choice should follow the manufacturer's advice in your owner's manual, as different engine variants might have slight variations – like the 2.0L Nu MPI and 1.6L Gamma T-GDI turbo engines, which could have marginally different oil specs. Full synthetic oil offers superior high-temperature protection and fuel efficiency, making it especially well-suited for Malaysia's hot and rainy climate. Oil changes are recommended every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. If you do a lot of short trips or drive in consistently high temperatures, you might want to shorten that interval a bit. When picking oil, look for the API SN (or higher) rating and the ILSAC GF-5 certification mark – these ensure the oil meets the technical demands of modern engines. If your Tucson has clocked over 80,000 kilometers, consider switching to a high-mileage 5W-30 formula. It's designed to better protect aging engine components. When buying oil in Malaysia, stick with reputable brands like Shell Helix or Petronas Syntium, and make sure you're getting them from authorized dealers to avoid fakes. And don't forget to pair that oil with a genuine Hyundai oil filter – it does a better job trapping contaminants to keep your engine healthy.
