o Automatic Transmission Fluid and
Filter
The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after the engine and transmissionare at normal operating temperature. Check theautomatic transmission fluid level with the en-gine running and the transmission in neutral,with the parking brake properly applied. UseMOBIL DEXRON- II when adding or changing
fluid. F070F01A-AAT
o Brake Hoses and Lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replaceany deteriorated or damaged parts immediate-ly. F070G02A-AAT
o Brake Fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reser- voir. The level should be between "MIN" and"MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Useonly hydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3or DOT 4. F070H01HP-GAT
o Rear Brake Drums/ Linings/Pads,
Parking Brake
Check the rear brake drums, linings and pads for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts,and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brakesystem including the parking brake lever andcables. For detailed service procedures, referto the Shop Manual. F070J01A-AAT o Brake Pads, Calipers and RotorsCheck the pads for excessive wear, discs for run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leakage. F070K01A-AAT o Exhaust Pipe and MufflerVisually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or damage.Start the engine and listen carefully for anyexhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections orreplace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT o Suspension Mounting BoltsCheck the suspension connections for loose- ness or damage. Retighten to the specifiedtorque.
F060H01A-AAT
o Air Cleaner Filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is recom-
mended when the filter is replaced.
F060J01A-AAT
o Spark Plugs Make sure to install new spark plugs of the
correct heat range.
F070C01A-AAT
o Coolant The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance sched-ule.
F070D01A-AAT
o Manual Transmission Oil Inspect the manual transmission oil according
to the maintenance schedule. NOTE:
If the oil level is low, check for possible
leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.

(2) The engine oil quality should meet the fol-
lowing API classification. Europe : SG, SG/CD, SH OR SH/CD Except Europe : SE or ABOVE
2. Diesel Engine
(1) Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity number according to the atmospheric tem- perature.Recommended viscosity is given in the fol- lowing illustration.
NOTE: For diesel-powered vehicle (2.5 TCI only) SAE 5W-30 oil should be used only in areas where extremely cold temperatures of 10°C(50°F) or below are experienced. For diesel-powered vehicle (2.5 TCI only), ifthe atmospheric temperatures are 0°C (32°F) or below, SAE 30 oil must not be used. This oil should be used only in areas where the atmospheric temperatures are 0°C (32°F) or above.
(2) The engine oil quality should meet the fol-lowing API classification:
Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI) : CF-4 or ABOVE Diesel Engine (2.9 CRDi) : CF-4 or ABOVE
(3) The engine oil quality should meet the fol- lowing ACEA classification :
Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI) : B2 or B3 Diesel Engine (2.9 CRDi) : B4 or ABOVE

G030C01HP-AAT To Check the Oil LevelBefore checking the oil, warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature and be sure your car is parked on level ground. Turn the engine off.
G030C02HP-1
NOTE: Before checking or adding the engine oil, remove the cover above the engine oil filler cap and the engine oil level dipstick with a blade screwdriver inserted in the notch (2.5 TCI only).

G350A01A-GAT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat- ing and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume
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 pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall
when a piston moves downwards 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 temperature combustion gases during the combustion process.
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clockwise. The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter (Gasoline Engine)/ Diesel Engine (2.5 TCI)/ 1.4 liters (Diesel Engine (2.9 CRDi)) of oil.

Wait five minutes, then remove the dipstick, wipe it off, fully reinsert the dipstick and with- draw it again. Then note the highest level the oil has reached on the dipstick. It should be be- tween the upper ("F") and lower ("L") range. If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:

o Brake pads, calipers and rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear, discs for
run out and wear, and calipers for fluid leak-age. F070K01A-AAT
o Exhaust pipe and muffler Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration, or dam-age. Start the engine and listen carefully forany exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connec-tions or replace parts as necessary. F070L01A-AAT
o Suspension mounting bolts Check the suspension connections for loose- ness or damage. Retighten to the specifiedtorque.
