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.

M/T: Manual transmission
IVT: Intelligent variable transmission
*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on page 12.
*2 : Requires grade engine oil.
If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil including Semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine
oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe maintenance condition.
*3 : Use only specified genuine Intelligent variable transmission fluid. The use of non-
specified fluid (even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in shift quality
deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure.

Air Cleaner Filter
A genuine HYUNDAI air cleaner filter
is recommended when the filter is
replaced.
Spark Plugs
Make sure to install new spark plugs of
the correct heat range.
Cooling System
Check cooling system components, such
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
Engine Coolant
The coolant should be changed at the
intervals specified in the maintenance
schedule.
Intelligent Variable Transmission
(IVT) Fluid (if equipped)
Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT)
fluid should not be checked under
normal usage conditions. But in
severe conditions, the fluid should be
changed at an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer in accordance to the scheduled
maintenance at the beginning of this
chapter.
NOTICE
Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT)
fluid color is basically light amber.
As the vehicle is driven, the Intelligent
Variable Transmission (IVT) fluid will
begin to look darker. This is a normal
condition and you should not judge the
need to replace the fluid based upon
the changed color.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified fluid could
result in transmission malfunction
and failure. Use only the specified
fluid (recommended Lubricants and
Capacities is in chapter. 2).
Manual Transmission Fluid
(if equipped)
Inspect the manual transmission fluid
according to the maintenance schedule.
Brake Hoses and Lines
Visually check for proper installation,
chafing, cracks, deterioration and any
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts immediately.

Checking the Engine Oil Level
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level
ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
4. Turn the engine off and wait about 15
minutes for the oil to return to the oil
pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and
re-insert it fully.
OQX089003L
6. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between
F and L.
OQX089004L
7. If it is near or at L, add enough oil to
bring the level to F.
Use only the specified engine oil. (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” in chapter 2).
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your engine:

[Do not overfill with engine oil. Add oil
in small quantities and recheck level
to ensure engine is not overfilled.

[Do not spill engine oil when adding
or changing engine oil. Use a funnel
to help prevent oil from being spilled
on engine components. Wipe off
spilled oil immediately.
Checking the Engine Oil and
Filter
Have engine oil and filter changed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer according
to the Maintenance Schedule at the
beginning of this chapter.
WARNING
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING
Engine oil contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects and reproductive harm.
Used engine oil may cause irritation or
cancer of the skin if left in contact with
the skin for prolonged periods of time.
Always protect your skin by washing
your hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible after
handling used oil.

Checking the Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
OQX089007L
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake/clutch fluid, clean the area
around the reservoir cap thoroughly to
prevent brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add the specified
brake/clutch fluid to the MAX level. The
level will fall with accumulated mileage.
This is a normal condition associated
with the wear of the brake linings. If
the fluid level is excessively low, have
the brake/clutch system checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with your eyes. If brake/clutch
fluid comes in contact with your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention.
NOTICE

[Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as paint
damage will result.

[Brake/clutch fluid, which has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time should NEVER be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be disposed of properly.

[Do not use the wrong kind of brake
fluid. A few drops of mineral based
oil, such as engine oil, in your brake
system can damage brake system
parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” in chapter 2).
