How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Thanks to improvements in oil and engine technologies, drives can go longer in between oil change frequency. Most new Hyundai vehicles can have their oil changed between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. However, it’s still good to check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific recommendations for your make and model. Don’t hesitate to contact our service center if you have any questions.

• Check your owner’s manual to see if your car uses synthetic or conventional oil. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer.

• Be sure to have your oil filter changed when it’s time to change the oil. Our parts center can help find the filter you need for your Hyundai vehicle.
