Hyundai: Using 5W-30 in Los Angeles

If it was only occasional hot weather, like we have here, I wouldn't
(and don't) worry about using 5W-30. However, in an area where hot
weather is a daily occurrance for weeks or months on end, I'd go with
5W-40. There's no downside to it in a hot climate and you KNOW that
you're covered.

Oh yeah, and I figured since the Mobil 1 container said it was made
for Newer Vehicles that the 5W-30 would be alright. It did say it was
comparable to 10W30 on the back as well. But if anyone can sorta
explain how that all works, it might be interesting for the rest of us
to understand.
