Hello friends. I have never been on this board, and in fact have not been on Veeky Forums in a long time. However, I am currently having an issue and think you guys could maybe help out. I have a 2008 Hyundai Sonata. TL;DR, I went to get an oil change instead of doing it myself and they forgot to put oil in. I need a new engine. I have one that has C as the 8th VIN spot, not an F. I can't find anything that can tell me if the two have different engines, as I found one that I can get for an F 8th spot VIN. Any suggestions?
Pic unrelated, some sashimi I had the other day.
Halp plz

It seems all elantras from 2008 have the same engine, a 2.0 L 4 cylinder.
Parker Phillips
It's a Sonata though.

Also, I have a 2.4L 4 cyl in mine, not a 2.0.

I am retard. Look in your owners manual or ask someone to run your VIN. I think a DMV site can do it.
Sebastian Peterson
that's the Theta engine family, I'm assuming the one you're looking at is the one used in 2011 and later Sonatas, which explains the different letter

I have the VIN. I have just found a new engine for a Sonata with an F in the 8th place of the vin. I have a C in the 8th place of my vin. I can't find anything that tells me whether these are different engines or not.

I will look at that page. Thank you for that. Forgot wikipedia existed. Mine is a 2008, so I don't think it should have anything to do with the 2011 and later engines.

You're a godsend. Thank you! I think I've found it.
