Change to "Winter Weight" Oil if
Necessary
NOTE:
The proper  temperature for  using
the immobilizer  key is  from -40°C
(-40°F) to  80°C(176°F). If  you heat
the  immobilizer key  over  80°C  to
open the frozen lock, it may cause
damage  to the  transponder  in its
head.
In some  climates it is  recommended
that a lower  viscosity "winter weight"
oil be used during  cold weather. See
Section 9 for recommendations. If you
aren't sure what weight oil you should
use, consult your Hyundai dealer.
