5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter-
clockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper
size. A certain amount of oil will come out
when you remove the filter. So be sure to
have your drain pan in place underneath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the
instructions on the carton or on the filter
itself. Do not over-tighten (Tightening torque
: 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m).
Be sure that the mounting surface on the
engine is clean and that the old gasket is
removed completely. Lubricate the new gas-
ket on the filter before installation with clean
engine oil.7. Refill the crankcase with the recommended
engine oil. Refer to the specification in chap-
ter 9 for engine oil capacity.
8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil
is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil
level.NOTE:Always dispose of used engine oil in an
environmentally acceptable manner. It is sug-
gested that it be placed in a sealed container
and taken to a service station for reclama-
tion. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put
it in with the household trash.
The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule in Section 5. If the car is being driven
in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter
changes are required.
The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and set the
parking brake. Start the engine and let it
warm up until the needle on the temperature
gauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn
the engine off and place the gear selector
lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse gear
(manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil
filler cap.

cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin
for prolonged periods of time. Used engine
oil contains chemicals that have caused can-
cer in laboratory animals. Always protect
your skin by washing your hands thoroughly
with soap and warm water as soon as pos-

11CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE OIL
(MANUAL)FILLING THE WASHER RESERVOIR
G090A01A-AAT
A good quality washer fluid should be used to fill
the washer reservoir. The fluid level should be
checked more frequently during inclement weath-
er or whenever the washer system is in more
frequent use.
The capacity of the washer reservoir is 3.2 U.S.
quarts (3.0 Liters).
CAUTION:o Radiator anti-freeze (engine coolant)
should not be used in the washer system
because it will damage the car's finish.
o The washer should not be operated if the
washer reservoir is empty. This can dam-
age the washer fluid pump.

12CHECKING THE TRANSAXLE
FLUID (AUTOMATIC)
!
G110A01E-AAT
Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should
be checked at those intervals specified in the
vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5.
NOTE:Automatic transaxle fluid is basically a red
color. As driving distance increases, the fluid
color turns darkish red gradually. It is a
normal condition and you should not judge
the need to replace based upon the chang-
ing color.
You must replace the automatic transaxle
fluid in accordance with intervals specified
in the vehicle maintenance schedule in sec-
tion 5.
G110B03A-AATRecommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is specially
designed to operate with HYUNDAI GENUINE
ATF, DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III.
Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not
covered by your new vehicle limited warranty.
G110C02A-AAT
Transaxle Fluid Capacity
The fluid capacity of the automatic transaxle is
6.45 U.S. quarts (6.1 liters).
WARNING:The transaxle fluid level should be checked
when the engine is at normal operating tem-
perature. This means that the engine, radia-
tor, exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exer-
cise great care not to burn yourself during
this procedure. 1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen
the oil filler plug by turning it counterclock-
wise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger or suitable tool to feel inside
the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom
edge. If it is not, check for leaks before
adding oil. To refill the transaxle or bring the
oil level up, add oil slowly until it reaches the
proper level. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the plug and washer, screw it in with
your fingers and then tighten securely with
the wrench.
