Does it have an owners manual? Some Asian cars allow a wide range of grades, including 10W-40, some do not. If that is the case, 15W-40 would be perfect. One oil for the whole fleet is always easier, but sometimes not possible.

A friend of mine has an Accent and the weight goes from 10w30 to 20w50. This is for a 4 cylinder. I find it kind of ironic that my 4.6 liter V-8 specifies 5w30 and that thick of an oil for a 4 cylinder import.
