o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and quality
of oil, engine rpm and driving condi-
tion etc. The engine oil is more con-
sumed under severe driving condi-
tions such as high speeds and fre-
quent acceleration and deceleration
than normal driving condition.

!
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. When the engine is
hot, the engine coolant is under pres-
sure and may erupt through the open-
ing if the cap is removed. You could
be seriously burned if you do not
observe this precaution. Do not re-
move the radiator cap until the radia-
tor is cool to the touch.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the engine
coolant should be changed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

Recommended Engine Coolant

Use a high quality ethylene-glycol cool-
ant in a 50/50 mix with water. The
engine coolant should be compatible
with aluminum engine parts. Additional
corrosion inhibitors or additives should
not be used. The cooling system must
be maintained with the correct con-
centration and type of engine coolant
to prevent freezing and corrosion.
Never allow the concentration of anti-
freeze to exceed the 60% level or go
below the 35% level, or damage to the
cooling system may result. For proper
concentration when adding or replacing
the engine coolant, refer to the following
table.
