cooling, and cleaning effect of the
engine oil will gradually degrade during
its use. We recommend that the engine
oil and filter be changed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer according
to the Oil Life Management System
instructions or the Maintenance
Schedule at the beginning of this
Chapter.
• 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 them 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.
