ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should
consume some engine oil while nor- mal driving. The cause of oil con- sumption in a normal engine are asfollows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis- tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in the cylinder. High negative pressure generated dur-ing engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion cham- ber.This oil with some oil of the cylin-der wall is burned by the high tem-perature combustion gases during the combustion process. o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity and quality of oil, engine rpm and driving condition etc. The engine oil is more consumed under severedriving conditions such as high speeds and frequent acceleration and deceleration than normal driv-ing condition.
1. Remove the oil filler cap by turning
it counter-clockwise.
2. Add oil, then check the level again. Do not overfill.
3. Replace the cap by turning it clock- wise.
The distance between the "F" and "L"marks is equal to about 1 liter(GasolineEngine)/1.2 liter(Diesel Engine) of oil.

9CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER
!
G040A04FC-GAT
Gasoline engine
The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Sec-tion 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. G040A03EThe procedure for changing the oil
and filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and
set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperaturegauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-matic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the oil pan drain plug by turning itcounterclockwise with a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that adrain pan is in position to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the
engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you! 4. When the oil has stopped draining,
replace the drain plug using a new washer and retighten by turning it clockwise. Oil pan drain plug tightening torque :

5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise with a oil filter wrench of the proper size. A cer-tain amount of oil will come out when you remove the filter. So be sure to have your drain pan inplace underneath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the cartonor on the filter itself. Do not over- tighten. Oil filter tightening torque: 1.2~1.6kgf.m

2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil level dipstick.
3. Loosen the oil filter upper cap with a proper tool from the oil filter housing until an O-ring is seen.Then, drain the oil completely. 4. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
5. Slide underneath the car and
loosen the oil pan drain plug by turning it counterclockwise oil pan with a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that a drain pan is inposition to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the
engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!
6. When the oil has stopped drain- ing, replace the drain plug using a new gasket and retighten by turn- ing it clockwise.
Oil pan drain plug tightening torque : 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
7. Pull out the oil filter upper cap with element from the oil filter housing. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt or oil accumulated around the oil filter housing. 8. After mounting a new centerpipe
O-ring, new oil filter element andnew O-ring to upper cap, install the upper cap to oil filter housing and retighten by turning it clock-wise. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque : 2.5 kgf.m
CAUTION:
Don't use old oil filter upper cap O-ring and centerpipe O-ring
9. Refill the crankcase with the rec- ommended engine oil. Refer to the specification in chapter 9 for engine oil capacity.
CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oilby using a funnel. Do not overfill not to damage the engine.
! CAUTION:
Slowly loosen the oil filter upper cap not to overflow the oil.

4. Turn the radiator cap counterclock-
wise without pressing down on it, until it stops. This relieves any pres- sure remaining in the cooling sys-tem. And remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning coun- terclockwise.Fill the radiator with clean deminer-alized or distilled water. Continueto add clean demineralized or dis- tilled water in small quantities until the fluid level stays up in the radia-tor neck. G050D01FC
G050D02FC
5. Start the engine, top off the radia- tor with water and then add engine coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "L" and "F".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure thedrain cocks are fully closed and not leaking.
G050D02A-AAT
To Change the Coolant
The coolant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the ve-hicle maintenance schedule in Sec- tion 5.
! CAUTION:
Engine coolant can damage the
finish of your car. If you spill en- gine coolant on the car, wash it off thoroughly with clean water.
1. Park the car on level ground, set the park-ing brake and remove the radiator cap when cool.
2. Be sure your drain receptacle is in
place. Open the drain cock on theradiator. Allow all the engine cool- ant to drain from the cooling sys- tem, then securely close the draincock.
3. Check Section 9 for the capacity of the cooling system in your car.Then, following the manufacturer's directions on the engine coolant container, add the appropriatequantity of coolant to the radiator.

!WARNING:
It is recommended that the engine
be cool or cold when changing the spark plugs. If the engine is hot, you could burn yourself on theinsulated connector, the spark plug or the engine itself. HGK2574. When preparing to remove the old
spark plug, guide the socket down over the spark plug, being careful not to damage the ceramic insula- tor.
5. To remove the spark plug, turn the wrench handle in a counterclock-wise direction.
6. To install the new spark plug, guide
the socket down over the sparkplug, being careful not to damage the ceramic insulator.
HGK258
3. To remove the spark plug cable,
pull straight up on the insulated connector, not the cable. Pulling on the cable may damage the car- bon core conductor.
G060C01S-GAT Changing the Spark Plugs You will find it easier to change spark plugs if the engine is cold. Always change one spark plug at a time. This helps avoid getting the wires mixedup.
1. Remove the center cover on the
engine rocker cover.
2. Using a clean cloth, remove any dirt that has accumulated around the spark plug so it cannot fall intothe cylinder when the spark plug is removed. HGK256

3. Replace the plug and washer,
screw it in with your fingers and then tighten securely with the wrench.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
Transaxle fluid in the automatic transaxle should be checked at those intervals specified in the vehicle main- tenance schedule in Section 5. NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid is a red color. As driving distance in- creases, the fluid color turns dark-ish red gradually. It is a normal condition and you should not judge the need to replace basedupon the changing color.You must replace the automatictransaxle fluid in accordance withintervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in section 5. G110B04A-AAT
Recommended Fluid
Your Hyundai automatic transaxle is
specially designed to operate with HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III, DIA- MOND ATF SP-III, SK ATF SP III orother brands approved by Hundai Motor Co,. Damage caused by a nonspecified fluid is not covered byyour new vehicle limited warranty.
G100B02A-AAT
To Check the Maunal Transaxle Fluid Level
G100B01L
Park the car on level ground with the
engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size,
loosen the oil filler plug by turning it counterclockwise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger or suitable tool to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it isnot, check for leaks before adding oil. To refill the transaxle or bring the oil level up,add oil slowly until itreaches the proper level. Do not overfill. CAUTION:
Use of aftermarket ATF additives
may cause damage to the auto-matic transaxle. Only use HYUNDAI GENUINE ATF SP III, DIAMONDATF SP III, SK ATF SP III or other brands approved by Hyundai Mo- tor Co., If you are having yourvehicle serviced at a facility other than a Hyundai dealer, verify ATF is used for your vehicle.
