ENGINE OIL

Checking the engine oil level

1. Be sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach

normal operating temperature.

3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few

minutes (about 5 minutes) for the oil to
return to the oil pan.

4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and

re-insert it fully.

5. Pull the dipstick out again and check

the level. The level should be between
F and L.

If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring
the level to F. Do not overfill.

Use a funnel to refill the new oil com-
fortably.

Use only the specified engine oil. (Refer
to the section 9.)

Changing the engine oil and filter

Have engine oil and filter changed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer according to
the Maintenance Schedule at the begin-
ning of this section.

WARNING -

Radiator hose

Be very careful not to touch the
radiator hose when checking or
adding the engine oil as it may be
hot enough to burn you.
