Changing The Engine Oil And Filter; Checking The Coolant Level; Engine Coolant Reservoir - Hyundai EON Owner's Manual

Changing the engine oil and filter

Have engine oil and filter (including drain
plug gasket) changed according to the
Maintenance Schedule at the beginning
of this section. We recommend that the
engine oil and filter be replaced by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
WARNING
Used engine oil may cause skin
irritation or cancer if left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods
of time. Used engine oil contains
chemicals that have caused cancer
in laboratory animals. Always
protect your skin by washing your
hands thoroughly with soap and
warm water as soon as possible
after handling used oil.
ENGINE COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system has a
reservoir filled with year-round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at the
factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and
before traveling to a colder climate.

Checking the coolant level

WARNING
Removing radiator
cap
• Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap while the engine is
operating or hot. Doing so might
lead to cooling system and
engine damage and could result
in serious personal injury from
escaping hot coolant or steam.
• Turn the engine off and wait until
it cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the radiator cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and
turn it counterclockwise slowly
to the first stop. Step back while
the pressure is released from the
cooling system. When you are
sure all the pressure has been
released, press down on the cap,
using a thick towel, and continue
turning counterclockwise
remove it.
