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.
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.
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
OCN7080082L 
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).
