RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS AND CAPACITIES
To help achieve proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use only
lubricants of the proper quality. The correct lubricants also help promote engine
efficiency that results in improved fuel economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.

Checking the Engine Oil Level
Engine oil is used for lubrication and
cooling, so it is gradually consumed
during driving the vehicle.
Regularly check and manage the oil level
using the following procedure.
1. Follow all of the oil manufacturer’s
precautions.
2. Be sure the vehicle is on the level
ground in P (Park) with the parking
brake set. If possible, block the
wheels.
3. Turn the engine on and allow the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
4. Turn the engine off and wait about 15
minutes (with oil filler cap and dipstick
detached) for the oil to return to the
oil pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and
re-insert it fully.

6. Pull the dipstick out again and check
the level.
OCN7H090004
7. Check if the oil level is between the
F-L line and refill it if the oil level is
near the L line.
Use only the specified engine oil. (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” in chapter 2).

Checking the Brake/Clutch Fluid
Level
OCN7H090010
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
periodically. The fluid level should be
between MAX and MIN marks on the side
of the reservoir.
Before removing the reservoir cap and
adding brake fluid, clean the area around
the reservoir cap thoroughly to prevent
brake fluid contamination.
If the level is low, add fluid to the MAX
level. The level will fall with accumulated
mileage. This is a normal condition
associated with the wear of the brake
linings.
If the fluid level is excessively low, we
recommend that the system be checked
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Use only the specified brake/clutch fluid.
Refer to “Recommended lubricants and
capacities” in chapter 2.
Information
Before removing the brake/clutch filler
cap, read the warning on the cap.
Information
Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT4 brake/clutch fluid from a
sealed container.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with your eyes. If brake/clutch
fluid comes in contact with your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water for
at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention.
NOTICE
• Do not allow brake/clutch fluid to
contact the vehicle’s body paint, as
paint damage will result.
• Brake/clutch fluid, which has been
exposed to open air for an extended
time should never be used as its
quality cannot be guaranteed. It
should be disposed of properly.
• Don’t put in the wrong kind of fluid. A
few drops of mineralbased oil, such
as engine oil, in your brake system
can damage system parts.
• To maintain the best braking
performance and ABS/ESC
performance, we recommend that
you use genuine brake/clutch fluid
that conform to specifications.
