Routine car maintenance will keep your Hyundai Elantra, Kona, or Sonata in excellent running condition. Follow the five tips below from your Hyundai dealer, and your car will be as reliable and safe as the day you bought it.

4 Car Maintenance Tips From Your Hyundai Dealer To Keep Your Hyundai in Great Shape

1. Read Your Owner’s Manual

Everything you need to know about your Hyundai model and how to keep it in top condition is in your owner’s manual. The manual has detailed information on your car’s operating systems, features, warning lights, and tire pressure. It contains the service schedule and factory-prescribed maintenance intervals to help you maintain your Hyundai and keep it running at its best.

2. Follow the Service Schedule

Following the service schedule and prescribed maintenance intervals are vital to keeping your Hyundai in excellent running condition. During each maintenance service, your Hyundai technician will perform specific maintenance tasks as set out in the service schedule. These tasks include prescribed fluid corrections and replacements, system inspections, and parts replacements to ensure your vehicle is reliable, fuel-efficient, safe, and lasts longer.

Your engine will run smoothly, and you’ll save money on unexpected and costly repairs because your Hyundai technician will detect problems early and perform the necessary repairs before a minor issue turns into an expensive replacement.

3. Stick to the Oil Change Intervals

Oil changes are the most essential maintenance task and must be replaced at the prescribed intervals. The oil keeps the moving components lubricated, reduces friction, keeps your engine protected, and extends the life of your vehicle. Hyundai recommends an oil and filter change every 4,500 to 7,500 miles or every six months, depending on your model, engine type, driving habits, and road condition.

If you drive in traffic, take regular short trips, or tow heavy loads, it will influence how often your vehicle will need an oil change. Check your owner’s manual for the oil change intervals and the correct oil grade and viscosity for your specific Hyundai model, and speak to your Hyundai technician to help you with the best oil change schedule for your driving conditions.  

4. Always Use Genuine Hyundai Parts

When your car needs replacement parts, always use high-quality genuine Hyundai parts specifically engineered and manufactured for your vehicle.
