Getting regular oil changes is easy and can extend the life of your Hyundai. Engine oil is one of the most important fluids in your car. It helps keep your engine running smoothly and lubricates engine components. As you drive, oil breaks down and is exposed to contaminants, reducing its lubricating properties. Many people may be unaware of when they should get their oil changed. If your driving conditions match any shown below, then your frequency of oil changes should be increased:
Check your owner’s manual to see what grade and viscosity of oil and change frequency your vehicle needs and occasionally confirm that the oil is at its optimal level. Based on all your combined driving habits, you may need to change the engine oil more frequently (every 4,500-5,000 miles may be more appropriate than the normal 6,000-7,500 miles).
To check your oil level, find your vehicle’s dipstick under the hood. Depending on your driving habits and weather conditions, your engine may consume oil more frequently between oil changes. It’s good practice to check the level regularly to help ensure your vehicle’s longevity, performance, and safety. Review our steps below to check your oil levels or swing by our service center today for a free check-up!
Spending the money and taking the time to get oil changes when recommended by the manufacturer can save lots in the long run. Not only will you be protecting your investment and unlocking the best performance possible but other benefits include:
Hyundai recommends the use of synthetic oil, this type of oil offers superior lubrication that spreads out more evenly. Unlike regular engine oil, synthetic oil is formulated from base oil, powder additives, and a carrier oil that helps the distribution of the additives across your engine better.

Every 10,000 Miles
Inspection, engine oil change, engine oil filter change, tire inspection, and tire rotation.
