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…

There is a long-running stereotype that seniors have a phobia of new technology. Contrary to that idea, not every driver over 60 shakes their first at new features while hollering, "They don't make cars like they used to!"

In fact, many of the most cutting-edge features in the new Hyundai lineup have the greatest benefits for older drivers.

"Anything that reduces the likelihood or severity of a collision is really a technology

What does the upcoming 2017 Hyundai Sonata have in common with a black hole? It can bend light.

A new feature called Dynamic Bending Light will be available on several 2017 Hyundai models, including the Elantra, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Sport, and the all-new Ioniq. Unlike a supermassive black hole, galaxy cluster, or other stellar object, the feature will not be bending light in the technical sense.

They're much too efficient and lightweight to cause

Autumn can be a foggy time of year in Annapolis. When humid summer air mixes with the chill of coming winter, an outbreak of condensation can form over your windshield like a pale white sheet, blocking road visibility.

How can you get to work on time on such a September morning? Hyundai Insider has five tips to get rid of fog faster.

• Click the defog button on the console - This will direct air at your windshield, where it is needed.
• Turn the fan all the way up - The greater volume of air, the more evaporation can occur. Imagine using a…

This month, the IIHS finished up testing of the 2017 Santa Fe Sport, and the results came back beautifully.

To earn a Top Safety Pick+, the IIHS's highest possible award, the Santa Fe Sport had to earn top ratings in all five test categories, under the organization's new, more stringent standards. It also needed to offer front-crash-prevention technology rated as at least advanced. The Santa Fe Sport's…

You picked out a small crossover SUV because it earned a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The dreaded small-overlap front collision has you worried, so you made certain to find a vehicle that would protect you and your loved ones in that type of crash.

After further investigation into eight small SUVs that earned a good rating for small-overlap protection, the IIHS discovered that while you may be protected during a small-overlap crash, your front-seat passenger may not be so lucky.

Out of the eight Top Safety Pick-earning SUVs tested for

There's no doubt that "new" gets thrown around far too often these days. It's supposed to represent something that's more advanced and better, but that's so rarely the case.

Fortunately, the 2017 Hyundai Elantra is breathing new life into that overused term. The all-new 2017 Elantra has been thoroughly re-designed to deliver more for less money. That way, the Elantra can use the term "brand new" without shame!

Here at Annapolis Hyundai, we know that you don't have to break the bank to get behind the wheel of a top-quality new car. Instead, you can drive the 2016 Hyundai Accent and enjoy quality for less!

The 2016 Accent is technically a compact car, but that classification doesn't begin to capture all it has in store for drivers throughout the Annapolis, MD area!

Hyundai Genesis fans, rejoice. According to Dave Zuchowski, CEO of Hyundai Motor America, the luxury brand will soon add plug-in hybrids to its lineup. Hyundai's recent debut of the Sonata PHV and upcoming Ioniq family demonstrate that the South Korean automaker is shifting its business model to showcase a greener, more sustainable lineup of vehicles.

In the conversation of some of the industry's most impressive full-size luxury sedans, the 2016 Hyundai Genesis is without question a centerpiece. That much we at Annapolis Hyundai have known for quite some time.

More recently, however, it was Autotrader critic, Jabari Jones, who recognized the glory of the Genesis. Check the clip below to get his take on this capacious charmer:

While not quite as sprightly as its brawnier V8 brother, the Genesis's entry-level 3.8-liter V6 engine is nonetheless a gem. Synced with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, this six-banger produces a plentiful ...
