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.

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.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil is used for lubricating,
cooling, and operating various hydraulic
components in the engine. Engine oil
consumption whilst driving is normal,
and it is necessary to check and refill the
engine oil regularly. Also, check and refill
the oil level within the recommended
maintenance schedule to prevent
deterioration of oil performance.
Check the engine oil following the below
procedure.

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 and the wheels blocked.
3. Turn the engine on and warm
the engine up until the coolant
temperature reaches a constant
normal temperature.
4. Turn the engine off, remove the oil
filler cap and pull the dipstick out.
Wait for 15 minutes for the oil to
return to the oil pan.
5. Wipe the dipstick clean and re-insert
it fully.
6. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level. The level should be between
the F-L line.

Checking the engine oil and
filter
[ We recommend that the engine oil
and filter be replaced by a HYUNDAI
authorised repairer.
[ 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.
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause irritation or
cancer of the skin if left in contact with
the skin for prolonged periods of time.
Used engine oil contains chemicals
that have caused cancer in laboratory
animals. Always protect your skin
by washing your hands thoroughly
with soap and warm water as soon as
possible after handling used oil.

good ventilation.
[ Watch the battery during charging,
and stop or reduce the charging
rate if the battery cells begin
gassing (boiling) violently or if the
temperature of the electrolyte of any
cell exceeds 49°C (120°F).
[ The negative battery cable must be
removed first and installed last when
the battery is disconnected.
[ Disconnect the battery charger in the
following order.
