Ensuring the optimal performance of your Hyundai necessitates regular maintenance, and among the most critical of these maintenance tasks is the routine oil change. Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle’s engine, and its quality and level can significantly impact your Hyundai’s performance, efficiency, and longevity. How long has it been since you went to the Hyundai dealer for this vital service?
The Role of Oil in Your Hyundai
The primary function of engine oil is to lubricate. Inside your engine, numerous parts move at high speeds, creating potential friction. Oil ensures these parts glide smoothly without grinding against each other, preventing premature wear and tear. Furthermore, oil acts as a coolant. While the engine operates, it generates heat. A consistent flow of clean oil absorbs and dissipates this heat, ensuring the engine doesn’t overheat.
Over time, as the oil circulates through the engine, it collects microscopic particles and debris. If not replaced, this contaminated oil can cause damage, leading to reduced efficiency and even potential engine failures.
When Should You Get an Oil Change from Your Hyundai Dealer?
Mileage and Time
You’ll likely need to change your oil somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 miles, depending on what type of oil you use, the age of your vehicle, and your driving conditions. If your driving is predominantly in challenging conditions—like stop-and-go traffic, dusty environments, or cold weather—it’s wise to err on the side of caution and opt for the lower end of that range. If you don’t use synthetic oil, be sure to talk to your dealer: your intervals could be even shorter.

Tires play a crucial role in ensuring that your Hyundai runs safely and efficiently. Recognizing when it’s time for a set of new tires can save you from potential hazards and hassle as well as improve your car’s performance. There are some signs to watch out for that it’s time to head to the Hyundai dealer for a new set.
Check the Tread Depth
The tread on your tires is what allows your car to maintain its grip on the road, especially in wet or icy conditions. A quick and easy way to check the depth of your tread is to use the penny in your pocket. To perform the penny test, simply insert a penny into the tread groove with the head facing down. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, your tread depth is below 2/32 of an inch, and it’s time to replace your tires.
Look Out for Uneven Wear
Regularly inspect your tires for uneven wear patterns. Uneven wear can be a sign of improper inflation, misalignment, or suspension issues. If one side of the tire is more worn than the other, or if the center is more worn than the edges, it could be time for a fresh set of tires. Keep in mind that regular tire rotations performed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles can help prevent uneven wear.

Oil Leaks
We all know how important oil is for an engine. Your Hyundai engine contains a multitude of components, many of which depend on friction to work effectively. Over time, constant friction will cause these parts to wear out faster unless they’re protected. Engine oil lubricates these components and protects them against excessive damage. Modern engine oils also reduce the chance of blockages in your engine and protect it against rust.
The oil can icon on your dash will illuminate if your engine is short of oil. Under normal operating conditions, some oil is consumed by your engine as it works. If your oil has been recently checked, this illuminated warning light could mean you have an oil leak. If oil leaks into your engine, you’ll usually see its presence in blue-tinged smoke from the tailpipe. An external leak can be easily seen as a puddle underneath your car. We’ll trace and repair the leak, and then refill your oil.
