 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.

benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary 
to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in 
everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*3 : Requires < API SN PLUS (or above) Full synthetic> 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.
*4 : For the best performance of braking and ABS/ESC functions, you should use genuine 
brake fluid that conform to standards. (Standards: SAE J1704 DOT-4 LV, ISO4925 CLASS-6 
and FMVSS116 DOT-4)

 Information
•  As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should 
be checked on regular basis.
•  The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of 
the recommended engine specification.
•  The vehicle may be equipped with the Oil Life Management System that predicts 
engine oil life based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change 
engine oil.
 - If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving 
severity, the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the 
normal engine oil replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter changed by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
 - Oil Life Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used. 
So, if recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the 
maintenance schedule under severe usage condition. 
Also, check the amount of engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engi 
ne oil is being filled normally.
 - Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed. 
Otherwise, the indication of remaining Oil life in the Oil Life Management System 
may not be accurate. To reset the Engine Oil Change Reminder, select ‘RESET’ from 
the infotainment system screen. Then, select ‘Yes’ when the message “Has the engine 
oil been changed? Press [Yes] to reset the oil life.” appears on the screen.
 - If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have the vehicle 
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Maintenance9-14
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 Filter
A clogged-up fuel filter may limit the 
vehicle driving speed, damage the 
emission system, and cause the hard 
starting. When a considerable amount 
of foreign substances are accumulated 
in the fuel tank, the fuel filter should be 
replaced.
Upon installing a new fuel filter, operate 
the engine for several minutes, and 
check the connections for any leakages. 
Fuel filters should be installed by an 
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and 
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and 
connections for leakage and damage. 
Have an authorized HYUNDAI dealer 
replace any damaged or leaking parts 
immediately.
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.
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.
When assembling parts, be sure to 
wipe out foreign substances inside 
and outside of the boot bottom of the 
ignition coil and the insulator of the 
spark plug with a soft cloth to prevent 
contamination of the spark plug 
insulator.
 WARNING
Do not disconnect and inspect spark 
plugs when the engine is hot. You may 
burn yourself.
Cooling System
Check cooling system components, such 
as radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and 
connections for leakage and damage. 
Replace any damaged parts.

NOTICE
To prevent damage to your engine:
• 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.
•  The engine oil consumption may 
increase while you break in a new 
vehicle and it will be stabilized after 
driving 4,000 miles.  
•  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. 
Checking the Engine Oil and 
Filter
•  The lubrication, rust prevention, 
cooling, and cleaning effect of the 
engine oil will gradually degrade 
during its use. Have the engine oil 
and filter changed by an authorized 
HYUNDAI dealer according to the 
Engine Oil Life Management System 
Instructions or the Maintenance 
Schedule at the beginning of this 
chapter. 
•  If the maintenance schedule to  replace engine oil is exceeded, 
the engine oil performance may 
deteriorate, and the engine condition 
may be affected. Therefore, replace 
the engine oil according to the 
maintenance schedule. 
•  To keep the engine in optimal  condition, use the recommended 
engine oil and filter. If the 
recommended engine oil and filter are 
not used, replace it according to the 
maintenance schedule under severe 
usage conditions. 
•  The purpose of the maintenance  schedule for engine oil replacement 
is to prevent oil deterioration and it is 
irrelevant to oil consumption. Check 
and refill engine oil regularly.

Maintenance9-26
 Information
If the vehicle is operated in extremely 
dusty or sandy areas, replace the element 
more often than the usual recommended 
intervals (refer to “Maintenance Under 
Severe Usage Conditions” in this chapter).
NOTICE
•  Do not drive with the air cleaner filter 
removed. This will result in excessive 
engine wear.
•  When removing the air cleaner filter, 
be careful that dust or dirt does not 
enter the air intake, or damage may 
result.
•  Use HYUNDAI genuine parts or the 
equivalent specified for your vehicle. 
Use of parts without the matching 
quality could damage the air flow 
sensor.
