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. F070E05A-AAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid 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 Hyundai Genuine ATF SP-III, DIAMOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP-III or other brands appraoved by Hyundai Motor Co., when adding orchanging 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.)

G350A01A-GAT 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 consump- tion 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 cylinderwall when a piston moves down- wards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated during engineoperation sucks some of the oil into the combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinderwall is burned by the high tempera-
ture combustion gases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly effected by the viscosityand quality of oil, engine rpm anddriving condition etc. The engine oil is more consumed under severe driving conditions such as highspeeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration than normal driv- ing condition.
!
NOTE:
o It is recommended that the engine oil and filter should be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
o Always dispose of used engine oil in an environmentally acceptablemanner. It is suggested that it beplaced in a sealed container and taken to a service station for recla- mation. Do not pour the oil on theground or put it into the house- hold trash.
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritation or cancer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughlywith soap and warm water as soon as possible after handling used oil. G050A01TG-AAT CHECKING THE ENGINE COOL- ANT
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is underpressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned ifyou do not observe this precau- tion. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to thetouch.
!
NOTE: It is recommended that the engine coolant should be changed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
