NOTE:
The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is
not recommended for sustained high
speed use.
2. Diesel engine
The engine oil quality should meet the
following classification:
API class: CF-4 or ABOVE
ACEA class: B4 or ABOVE
NOTE:
SAE 0W-30 oil is for extra cold zone
and to be restricted by driving condi-
tion and dealing area. (Especially,
not recommended for sustained high
loaded and high speed operation.) SG030C1-E
Engine Oil Level
Gasoline engine
HTB167
HTB167A
Diesel engine The engine oil level should be checked
with the engine at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle parked
upon level ground.
Prior to checking the level, the vehicle
should be allowed to stand for several
minutes after the engine has been
switched off to allow the oil to drain
back to the sump.
Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean rag. Replace the dipstick fully
and withdraw again when the oil level
may be read from the stick. Normal oil
level is indicated when the oil is present
between the two marks on the stick. It
is not necessary to add oil if the level is
above the lower mark and in any case,
oil must not be added to the degree that
the level exceeds the upper mark. Re-
place the dipstick fully after checking
the level.

ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below the
lower mark of the dipstick, oil should be
added until the level is at or below the
upper mark.
To add oil to the engine, remove the
filler cap by rotating in an counterclock-
wise direction and pour engine oil into
the engine. Before checking the level
again, allow several minutes for the oil
to drain into the sump. Replace the oil
filler cap rotating it in a clockwise direc-
tion until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise the
level from the minimum to maximum
level is approximately 1.2 litre.ZG030E1-E
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Function of engine oil
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the
engine.
Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should con-
sume some engine oil while normal
driving. The cause of oil consumption in
a normal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders.
A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder
wall when a piston moves down-
wards in the cylinder. High negative
pressure generated during engine
operation sucks some of the oil into
the combustion chamber.
This oil with some oil of the cylinder
wall is burned by the high tempera-
ture combustion gases during the
combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and quality
of oil, engine rpm and driving condi-
tion etc.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING
AND REPLACING
SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot, since the system is
pressurized and coolant may be
ejected from the radiator resulting in
scalding.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced oil and remove the
drain plug from the sump.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump, replace the drain plug using a
new washer ensuring that the plug is
not over tightened.
Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating coun- terclockwise, using a proprietary oil
filter removal tool if necessary. Note
that the oil filter will contain approxi-
mately 0.5 litres of oil and this should
be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and
rotating clockwise until the filter con-
tacts the mounting and then a further
one half turn. Do not over-tighten CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en-
gine will be hot. Care should be
exercised to prevent scalding.
! Tightening torque:
Petrol -
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel(RHD) - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recommended oil into the engine and
replace the filler cap. Start the en-
gine and ensure that no oil leaks
exist. Turn off the engine and after a
couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oils may result in seri-
ous skin disorders including derma-
titis and cancer. Avoid contact with
skin as far as possible and always
wash thoroughly after any contact.
Keep used oils out of reach of chil-
dren. It is illegal to pollute drains,
water courses and soil. Use only
authorized waste collection facili-
ties including civic amenity sites
and garages for the disposal of used
oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact
the local authority for disposal in-
structions.

Recommended Oil
Use only the approved transaxle lubri-
cant. The recommended lubricants are
complete in themselves and the use of
additives is neither required nor recom-
mended. The use of additives may
invalidate the vehicle warranty.
Transaxle Lubricant Level
Checking
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on
level ground with the parking brake
firmly applied and the engine cool. Re-
move the level plug from the transaxle
when lubricant should begin to drip from
the level hole. If the level is low and no
lubricant is seen to drip, add the re-

TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
CHECKING
The vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the parking brake firmly
applied and the engine at normal oper-
ating temperature. (Normal operating
temperature will only be achieved when
the vehicle has been driven for 6 miles
or more).
SG110A1-E
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
FLUID
The automatic transaxle fluid level
should be checked and changed at
those intervals prescribed in the main-
tenance schedule. It is of paramount
importance that only the specified fluid
is used when replenishing or changing
the fluid. The use of other fluids may
irreparably damage the transaxle and
invalidate the manufacturers warranty.
In addition the ingress of dirt or lint may
prevent correct functioning of the
transaxle and care must be exercised
to prevent the ingress of such matter.
CAUTION:
The transaxle on fluid level must be
checked with the engine running and
at normal operating temperature and
therefore care must be exercised to
prevent injury occurring through
contact with rotating or hot parts of
the engine.
! G110B03A-AAT
Recommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is
specially designed to operate with DIA-
MOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III.
Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid
is not covered by your new vehicle
limited warranty.
