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.

specified fluid (even marked as compatible with genuine) could result in shift quality 
deterioration and vibrations, eventually, the transmission failure.

 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.

Maintenance8-12
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.
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.
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

8-13
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.
