Hyundai Oil Change Schedules

Oil Change on a Honda

Your new Hyundai is a modern engineering marvel. It’s got all of the high-tech features you want and one of the best engines on the market. Because of modern advances, the days of oil changes every 3,000 miles and three months are gone. 

Hamilton Township and Lawrenceville drivers can go much longer between oil changes than they used to when they buy a new Hyundai from our lot or a later model vehicle. Read our guide about the Hyundai oil change schedule to learn more!

Hyundai Oil Change Interval

If you’re in the market for a 2023 Hyundai, you’ve got good news. The recommended maintenance schedule happens every 8,000 miles or nine months under normal driving conditions. Older vehicles or driving in severe conditions might shorten the Hyundai Palisade oil change interval or other maintenance schedules for your SUV.

Here is what our service center staff accomplishes every 8,000 miles:

  • Replace Engine Oil and Filter
  • Tire Rotation
  • Add Fuel Additive 
  • Inspect Air Cleaner Filter
  • Inspect Air Conditioning Compressor
  • Inspect Air Conditioning Refrigerant
  • Inspect Air Intake
  • Inspect Battery Condition
  • Inspect Brake Fluid
  • Inspect Brake Lines, Hoses, and Connections
  • Inspect Disc Brakes and Pads
  • Inspect Driveshafts and Boots
  • Inspect Exhaust Pipe and Muffler
  • Inspect Steering Gear Box, Linkage & Boots/Lower Arm Ball Joint, Upper Arm Ball Joint
  • Inspect Suspension Mounting Bolts
  • Inspect Vacuum Hose

We’ll change the oil every six months or 5,000 miles if you drive in severe conditions, which is when the Hyundai Kona oil change interval occurs more frequently.

If you engage in these activities with your vehicle, keep an eye on your oil for signs you need to bring it in for service more often:

  • Off-roading
  • Commercial use
  • Racing
  • Heavy towing
  • Operating in extreme heat or extreme cold

We highly recommend full synthetic oil for your Hyundai oil change schedule. Otherwise, you’ll have to bring your vehicle in more frequently. Using conventional oil might cause more wear and tear on your vehicle, and you won’t get as much out of your vehicle ownership.

Oil Change Frequency Information

If you still have questions about your Hyundai oil change frequency, the type of oil you need, and vehicle maintenance in general, contact our service center or call 609-246-3908. We want you to get the most out of your car ownership!

  • Check your owner’s manual or vehicle information center to see if your vehicle needs synthetic or conventional oil. Synthetic oil costs more per oil change but lasts longer. You’ll have less frequent oil changes with synthetic oil, and it helps your vehicle’s engine stay in top condition for many years. 
  • Many new vehicles require synthetic oil. You will actually save money over the course of vehicle ownership when you go for a synthetic oil change for your new Hyundai Elantra.
  • Oil eventually breaks down, even when the car isn’t driven very much. If you don’t drive often, you should still change your oil at least once every year for your Hyundai.
  • Make sure you change your oil filter when you change the oil. Our parts center can find the right oil filter for your specific make and model. Better yet, bring your Hyundai into our service center for an oil change! We promise fast, friendly, and efficient service so you can be on your way in no time at all!

How Often Should You Check Your Oil Level?

Check your oil level at least once a month. It’s very easy to do! 

  1. Lift the hood of your car.
  2. Prop it open.
  3. Look for the yellow or orange dipstick.
  4. Pull it out.
  5. Look at the engine oil level to see if you need to add any.

Clean, fresh oil looks translucent and amber in color. Over time, your oil will change to an opaque, dark brown hue. It will also get thinner and more easily drip off of your dipstick compared to new oil.

If you see that you’re low on oil or need auto service, schedule service with us at Hyundai of Trenton. We can keep your vehicle running in top condition for years to come, giving you a better return on your investment in a new Hyundai from our Ewing Township dealership!
