2020 Elantra 1.6 T-GDI oil is SAE 5W-30, 4.76 qt drain and refill. The 2.0 MPI is SAE 5W-20, 4.23 qt. Both cite the latest API and ILSAC mark.
Difficulty, time, and cost are estimates when this guide gives them. Torque is a cited figure, or it is left off.

Numbers on this page come from the cited source. Match the engine before you use a capacity or a torque. Do not work under a vehicle held only by a jack.

The table is a drain-and-refill volume. Clean the area around the drain plug and dipstick before opening them. No drain-plug torque is printed.

The 1.6 T-GDI drain-and-refill capacity is 4.76 US qt. The 2.0 MPI is 4.23 US qt.
For fuel economy, the 1.6 T-GDI footnote recommends SAE 5W-30 meeting API Latest (ILSAC Latest) or ACEA A5/B5 or above. The 2.0 MPI footnote recommends SAE 5W-20 meeting API Latest (ILSAC Latest).
The lubricant table labels both figures drain and refill. No drain-plug torque is printed, so none is added.
The viscosity chart prints additional grades for each engine and says to use that chart if the recommended oil is not available. Those temperature bands are not assigned on this page. Minimum fuel is 87 octane unleaded, with no methanol and no ethanol blend above 15 percent.
