o Crankcase Ventilation 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 excessiveswelling indicate deterioration. Particu- lar attention should be paid to examin- ing those hose surfaces nearest tohigh heat sources, such as the ex- haust manifold. Inspect the hose routing to assure that the hoses do not come in contact with any heat source, sharp edges or mov-ing component which might cause heat damage or mechanical wear. Inspect all hose connections, such as clampsand couplings, to make sure they are secure, and that no leaks are present. Hoses should be replaced immedi-ately if there is any evidence of dete- rioration or damage. F060H01A-AAT
o Air Cleaner Filter
A Genuine Hyundai air cleaner filter is
recommended when the filter is re-placed.
F060J01A-AAT
o Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs
of the correct heat range.
F060N02E-AAT
o Valve Clearance
Inspect excessive valve noise and/or
engine vibration and adjust if neces- sary. A qualified technician should perform the operation. F070B01A-GAT o Cooling System Check the cooling system part, such as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and dam- age. Replace any damaged parts. F070C01A-AAT o 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.

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 consume some engine oil while nor- mal driving. The cause of oil con- sumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
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 downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur-ing engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion cham- ber.This oil with some oil of the cylin-der wall is burned by the high tem-perature combustion gases during the combustion process.
2.7L
If the oil level is close to or below the"L" mark, add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:
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 clock- wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is equal to about 1 liter of oil. WARNING:
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when adding the en- gine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you.

o The engine oil consumption is strongly effected by the viscosity and quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc. More engine oil may be consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds, frequent acceleration and deceleration, compared to normaldriving condition. G050B01A-AAT Recommended Engine Coolant Use a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine coolant should be compatible with aluminum engine parts. Addi-tional corrosion inhibitors or additives should not be used. The cooling sys- tem must be maintained with the cor-rect concentration and type of engine coolant to prevent freezing and corro- sion. Never allow the concentration ofantifreeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, or damage to the cooling system may result. Forproper concentration when adding or replacing the engine coolant, refer to the following table.

CHECKING AND CHANGING THE ENGINE COOLANT
G050A01A-AAT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engineis hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. Youcould be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until theradiator is cool to the touch.
