SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICES
Follow Normal Maintenance Schedule if the vehicle is usually operated where none of
the following conditions apply. If any of the following conditions apply, you must follow
the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.
• Repeatedly driving short distance of less than 5 miles (8 km) in normal temperature
of less than 10 miles (16 km) in freezing temperature.
• Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances.
• Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled or salt- spread roads.
• Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather.
• Driving in heavy dust condition.
• Driving in heavy traffic area.
• Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain roads repeatedly.
• Using for towing or camping, and driving with loads on the roof
• Driving as a patrol car, taxi, other commercial use of vehicle towing.
• Frequently driving under high speed or rapid acceleration/deceleration.
• Frequently driving in stop-and-go conditions.
• Engine oil usage which is not recommended(Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower
grade spec, etc.)
If your vehicle is operated under the above conditions, you should inspect, replace
or refill more frequently than the following Normal Maintenance Schedule. After the
periods or distance shown in the chart, continue to follow the prescribed maintenance
intervals.
NOTICE
After 10 years or 100,000 miles, use severe maintenance schedule.
9-7

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance
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.

Maintenance
ENGINE OIL
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Engine oil is used for lubricating,
cooling, and operating various hydraulic
components in the engine. Engine oil
consumption while 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
OCN7N091040N
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. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature.

To prevent damage to your engine:
Filter
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

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.

Maintenance
CAUTION
The engine oil is very hot immediately
after the vehicle has been driven and
can cause burns during replacement.
Replace the engine oil after the engine
oil has cooled down.
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.

Maintenance Schedule at the beginning
of this chapter.
WARNING
Do not use engine coolant or antifreeze
in the washer fluid reservoir.
Engine coolant can severely obscure
visibility when sprayed on the
windshield and may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Engine coolant may also cause damage
to paint and body trim.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to engine parts, put
a thick towel around the radiator cap
