Vehicle information
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather
operating (engine start and engine oil flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can
provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher
viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather.
Using oils of any viscosity other than those recommended could result in engine
damage.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of temperature your vehicle will be
operated in before the next oil change. Proceed to select the recommended oil
viscosity from the chart.

CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick
before checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or
sandy areas and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug
and dipstick areas will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other
mechanisms that could be damaged.
An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute(API)
Certification Mark conforms to the International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only
use engine oils that uphold this API Certification Mark.

Instrument cluster
Low engine oil (if equipped)
This warning message is displayed when
the engine oil level should be checked.
If this warning message is displayed,
check the engine oil level as soon as
possible and add engine oil as required.
Slowly pour the recommended oil little
by little into a funnel.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to "Recommended lubricants and
capacities" section in chapter 2.)
Do not overfill the engine oil. Make sure
the oil level is not above F (Full) mark on
the dipstick.
NOTICE
If the message is displayed
continuously after adding the engine
oil and travelling approximately
50~100 km after the engine warms up,
we recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Engine has overheated
(if equipped)
This warning message is displayed
when the engine coolant temperature
is above 120°C (248°F). This means that
the engine is overheated and may be
damaged.
If your vehicle is overheated, refer to
“Overheating” section in chapter 8.
Check headlight (if equipped)
This warning message is displayed if the
headlamps are not operating properly.
In addition, if a specific lamp(turn signal
lamp etc.) is not operating properly, the
warning message according to a specific
lamp (turn signal lamp etc.) is displayed.
A corresponding bulb may need to be
replaced.
Make sure to replace the burned out
bulb with a new one of the same
wattage rating.
Check brake light (if equipped)
This warning message is displayed if the
stop lamps are not operating properly. A
lamp may need to be replaced.
Make sure to replace the burned out
bulb with a new one of the same
wattage rating.

1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach
normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few
minutes (about 15 minutes) for the oil
to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and
reinsert it fully.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between
F (Full) and L (Low).

If it is near or at L (Low), add enough
oil to bring the level to F (Full). Do not
overfill.
Use a funnel to help prevent oil from
being spilled on engine components.
Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to “Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in chapter 2.)

WARNING
Radiator hose
Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or adding
the engine oil as it may be hot enough
to burn you.
CAUTION
• Do not overfill the engine oil. It may
damage the engine.
• Do not spill engine oil, when adding
or changing engine oil. If you drop
the engine oil on the engine room,
wipe it off immediately.
• When you wipe the oil level gauge,
you should wipe it with a clean cloth.
When mixed with debris, it can cause
engine damage.
• Oil consumption may increase while
you break in a new vehicle and it will
be stabilized after driving 6,000 km.
• The engine oil consumption can be
affected by driving habits, climate
conditions, traffic conditions,
oil quality, etc. Therefore, it is
recommended that you inspect the
engine oil level regularly and refill it if
necessary.
• The engine oil change interval is
set for the purpose of preventing
oil deterioration, and is not related
the amount of oil consumption; so,
check and refill the amount of the oil
regularly.

Range (A)Recommend to contact
an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Range (B)Do not refill engine oil.
Range (C)You may add engine oil
as long as the oil level
does not go above the C
range.
Range (D)You must add oil and
make sure that the oil
level is in the C Range.
1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach
normal operating temperature.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few
