Is it Time to Change Your Hyundai's Oil and Filter Yet?

Only when you watch the journey of oil passing through your engine do you really get the scope of how important a job it has.

Oil runs a pressurized lap through your engine in about five seconds flat. In that short time, it removes deposits, cools, and coats the bearings, crank shaft, pistons, and valve train. Without it, metal parts would grind directly against other metal parts, causing premature wear-and-tear.

Is it time to change yours?

Most new Hyundai vehicles should have their oil and filter changed once every 7,500 miles (you can check your model's specific maintenance schedule on HyundaiUSA.com).

Certain "extreme" driving conditions may require more frequent changes, including:

• Dusty, muddy, or salty roads
• Towing
• Long drives in hot weather
• Repeated short drives in cold weather
