Engine Oil: Service and Repair
CHANGING ENGINE OILCAUTION: Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot
1. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Remove the oil filler cap and the drain plug (on the oil pan). Drain the engine oil.
4. Install and tighten the drain plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
Drain plug: 40 - 45 Nm (30 - 33 ft. lbs.)
5. Fill the crankcase with fresh engine oil through the oil filler cap opening.
Capacity
Drain and refill
Without oil filter: 3.55 liter (3.75 U.S.qts., 3.1 Imp.qts.)
With oil filter: 3.85 liter (4.1 U.S.qts., 3.4 Imp.qts.)
CAUTION: Do not overfill the crankcase. This will cause oil aeration and loss of off pressure.
6. Install the oil filler cap.
7. Start and run the engine.
8. Turn off the engine and then check the oil level. Add oil if necessary.
FILTER SELECTION
All Hyundai engines are equipped with a high quality, disposable oil filter. This filter is recommended as a replacement filter on all vehicles. The quality of replacement filters varies considerably. Only high quality filters should be used to assure the most efficient service. Make sure that the rubber gasket from the old oil filter is completely removed from the contact surface on the engine block or front case before installing the new filter.
PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING THE OIL FILTER
CAUTION: Eye careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil are hot
1. Use a filter wrench to remove the oil filter.
2. Before installing the new oil filter on the engine, apply clean engine oil to the surface of the rubber gasket.
3. Tighten the oil filter to the specified torque.
Tightening torque
Oil filter: 12 - 16 Nm (9 - 12 ft. lbs.)
4. Run the engine to check for engine oil leaks.
5. After turning off the engine, check the oil level and add oil as necessary.
SELECTION OF ENGINE OIL
Recommended API classification: SH OR ABOVE
Recommended SAE viscosity grades:
W/O - CVVT
W - CVVT
NOTE: For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which:
1. Satisfy the requirements of the API classification.
2. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range.
Lubricants that do not have both an SAL grade number and an API service classification on the container should not be used.
