VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5- 9
F060H01A-AAT
o Air Cleaner Filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recommended when filter is replaced. F060J01A-AAT
o Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range. F070C01A-AAT o Engine Coolant The coolant should be changed at the intervals specified in the mainte- nance schedule. F070D01A-AAT
o Manual Transaxle Oil Inspect the manual transaxle oil ac- cording to the maintenance schedule. NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. F070E03A-AAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid and
Filter
The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after the engineand transaxle are at normal operating temperature. Check the automatic transaxle fluid level with the enginerunning and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap- plied. Use DIAMOND ATF SP-III orSK ATF SP-III when adding or chang- ing fluid.
F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, Crankcase Ventila-
tion Hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evi- dence of heat and/or mechanical dam-age. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration. Partic-ular attention should be paid to exam- ine those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the ex-haust manifold.Inspect the hose routing to assurethat the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or moving component which might causeheat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make surethey are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immediately if there is any evidenceof deterioration or damage. F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling System
Check the cooling system part, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hosesand connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts. F060N01X-GAT
o Valve clearances (1.1 L)
Incorrect valve clearance will not only
result in unsteady engine operation,but will also cause excessive noise and reduced engine performance. In-spect valve clearance and adjust as required while the engine is hot.
Valve-to-rocker arm clearance Intake valves ..... 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) Exhaust valves ... 0.25 mm (0.010 in.)

6- 10 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
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.1.6L
F040A02TB
Oil filler cap
Drain plug
Oil filter 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 onthe coolant temperature gauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selec-tor lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle). Set the park- ing brake.
2. Open the hood and remove the en- gine oil filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the drain plug by turning it counter- clockwise with a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that a drain pan is inposition to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining theengine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!
!
4. When the oil has stopped draining, replace the drain plug using a new washer and retighten by turning itclockwise. Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise 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 tohave your drain pan in place under- neath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the cartonor on the filter itself. Do not over- tighten. Tightening torque: Gasoline - 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel(LHD(Except E.C), RHD) - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m Be sure that the mounting surface on the engine is clean and that the old gasket is removed completely.Lubricate the new gasket on the filter with clean engine oil before installation.
