Information
- Engine oil is consumed while driving and the engine oil level
should be checked on
regular basis.
- The engine oil change interval under normal operating conditions
is based on the
use of engine oil that meets the recommended engine specification for your
vehicle.
If any other type of engine oil is used, replace the engine oil according to
the
maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.
- The vehicle may be equipped with Oil Life Management System that
predicts engine
oil life based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to
change engine oil.
- If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s
driving
severity, the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster
before the
normal engine oil replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter
changed by
an authorized HYUDNAI dealer.
- Oil Life Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used.
So, if recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according
to the
maintenance schedule under severe usage conditions. Also, check the amount
of engine oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is being
filled
normally.

changed.

System
may not be accurate.To reset the Oil Change Reminder, select “RESET” from
