RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only 
lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine 
efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

 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.
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.

Maintenance
9-14
Engine oil and filter
The engine oil and filter should be 
changed at the intervals specified in the 
maintenance schedule. If the vehicle 
is being driven in severe conditions, 
more frequent oil and filter changes are 
required.
Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence 
of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil 
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked 
periodically for proper tension and 
adjusted as necessary.
 Information
When you are inspecting the belt, turn the 
engine off.
Fuel lines, fuel hoses and 
connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and 
connections for leakage and damage. 
We recommend an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer replace any damaged or leaking 
parts immediately.
Fuel filter (for gasoline engine)
The fuel filter is considered to be 
maintenance free but periodic inspection 
is recommended for this maintenance 
depends on fuel quality. If there are 
some important matters like fuel flow 
restriction, surging, loss of power, hard 
starting problem etc., replace the fuel 
filter immediately. We recommend that 
you consult an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer for details.
Vapor hose and fuel filler cap
The vapor hose and fuel filler cap should 
be inspected at those intervals specified 
in the maintenance schedule. Make sure 
a new vapor hose or fuel filler cap is 
correctly replaced.
Vacuum crankcase ventilation 
hoses (if equipped)
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence 
of heat and/or mechanical damage. 
Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, 
tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive 
swelling indicate deterioration. Particular 
attention should be paid to examine 
those hose surfaces nearest to high heat 
sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to ensure that 
the hoses do not come in contact with 
any heat source, sharp edges or moving 
component which might cause heat 
damage or mechanical wear. Inspect 
all hose connections, such as clamps 
and couplings, to make sure they are 
secure, and that no leaks are present. 
Hoses should be replaced immediately if 
there is any evidence of deterioration or 
damage.
ExPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS

The emission control system of your 
vehicle is covered by a written limited 
warranty. Please see the warranty 
information contained in the Service 
Passport in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an 
emission control system to meet all 
applicable emission regulations. There 
are three emission control systems, as 
follows.
(1)
 Crank
case emission control system
(2)
 Ev
aporative emission control system
(3)
 Exhaust emission con
trol system
In order to ensure the proper function 
of the emission control systems, it 
is recommended that you have your 
vehicle inspected and maintained 
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer in 
accordance with the maintenance 
schedule in this manual.
NOTICE
For the Inspection and Maintenance 
Test (with Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system)
•	 To prevent the vehicle from misfiring 
during dynamometer testing, turn 
the Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC) system off by pressing the ESC 
switch (ESC OFF light illuminated).
•	 After dynamometer testing is 
completed, turn the ESC system back 
on by pressing the ESC switch again.
1. Crankcase emission control 
sy
stem
The positive crankcase ventilation system 
is employed to prevent air pollution 
caused by blow-by gases being emitted 
from the crankcase. This system supplies 
fresh filtered air to the crankcase through 
the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, 
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, 
which then pass through the PCV valve 
into the induction system.
2. Evaporative emission control 
system
The Evaporative Emission Control System 
is designed to prevent fuel vapors from 
escaping into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel 
tank are absorbed and stored in the 
onboard canister. When the engine is 
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the 
canister are drawn into the surge tank 
through the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve 
is controlled by the Engine Control 
Module (ECM); when the engine coolant 
temperature is low during idling, the 
PCSV closes so that evaporated fuel 
is not taken into the engine. After the 
engine warms-up during ordinary 
driving, the PCSV opens to introduce 
evaporated fuel to the engine.

Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic 
converter emission control device. 
To prevent damage to the catalytic 
converter and to your vehicle, take the 
following precautions:
•	Use only UNLEADED FUEL for 
gasoline engines.
•	 Do not operate the vehicle when 
there are signs of engine malfunction, 
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of 
performance.
•	 Do not misuse or abuse the engine. 
Examples of misuse are coasting with 
the engine off and descending steep 
grades in gear with the engine off.
•	 Do not operate the engine at high 
idle speed for extended periods (5 
minutes or more).
•	 Do not modify or tamper with any 
part of the engine or emission control 
system. We recommend that all 
inspections and adjustments  are 
made by an authorized HYUNDAI 
dealer.
•	 Avoid driving with an extremely low 
fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the 
engine to misfire, damaging the 
catalytic converter.Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF)  
(if equipped)
Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) system 
removes the soot in the exhaust gas.
The GPF system automatically burns 
(or oxidizes) the accumulated soot in 
accordance with driving situations, 
unlike a disposable air filter.
In other words, the accumulated soot is 
automatically purged out by the engine 
control system and by the high exhaust-
gas temperature at normal/ high driving 
speeds. However, when the vehicle is 
continually driven at repeated short 
distances or driven at low speed for a 
long time, the accumulated soot may 
not be automatically removed because 
of low exhaust gas temperature. In this 
case, the accumulated soot may reach 
a certain amount regardless of the soot 
oxidization process, then the GPF lamp  
(
) will illuminate.
The Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) 
lamp stops illuminating, when the 
driving speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h) 
with engine rpm 1,500 ~ 4,000 and the 
gear in the 3rd position or above for 
approximately 30 minutes.
When the GPF lamp starts to blink or 
the warning message “Check exhaust 
system” pops up even though the 
vehicle was driven as mentioned above, 
we recommend that you have the 
GPF system checked by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer.
With GPF lamp blinking for an extended 
period of time, it may damage the GPF 
system and lower the fuel economy.
 CAUTION
We recommend you to use only the 
regulated gasoline fuels, when your 
vehicle is equipped with the GPF 
system.
When you use other gasoline fuels 
which contain unspecified additives, 
they may damage the GPF system and 
cause exhaust emission problems.
