Hyundai Oil Change FAQs

How do I know when my Hyundai needs its oil changed?

Knocking or grinding noises that occur during engine operation could be a sign it needs more lubrication, and an oil change may be the solution. Disregarding these noises could lead to significant engine damage. If you also smell burning, or if the "check engine" light illuminates, it's likely your Hyundai requires an oil change.

Should I have my oil filter replaced when I change my oil?

Yes. At Hyundai, we know that a fresh oil filter is essential to keep your engine running smoothly as the old oil leaves behind unwanted particles in the oil filter. That's why we always replace your oil filter with every oil change.

How often should my vehicle get an oil change?

The typical recommendation is every 7,500 miles, but this can vary depending on various factors, such as driving habits and oil quality. You can strain your engine unnecessarily by neglecting routine maintenance like an oil change.

What does clean motor oil look like?

Motor oil color can change as it ages, and it can provide valuable information about any vehicle problems. New oil is typically amber in color, while old oil is usually darker.
