CHECKING THE ENGINE OILG030B01O-AATRecommended OilThe engine oil quality should meet the
following classification.
API SL or SM,
ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE
G030B01JM-U G030A01A-AAT
Engine oil is essential to the performance
and service of the engine. It is suggested
that you check the oil level at least once a
week in normal use and more often if you
are on a trip or driving in severe conditions.

3. Slide underneath the car and loosen
the drain plug by turning it counter-
clockwise with a wrench of the proper
size. Be sure that a drain pan is in
position to catch the oil as it drains out,
then remove the drain plug.
4. When the oil has stopped draining,
replace the drain plug using a new
gasket and retighten by turning it clock-
wise.

25.3 ~ 32.5 lb.ft (3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m)

(3.3L)
The engine oil and filter should be changed
at those intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule in Section 5. If the
car is being driven in severe conditions,
more frequent oil and filter changes are
required.
The 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
temperature gauge moves above the
lowest mark. Turn the engine off and
place the gear selector lever in "P" (au-
tomatic) or reverse gear (manual
transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine
oil filler cap.NOTE:Loosen the oil filter cap by turning it
counterclockwise to drain well the oil in
the oil filter (3.3L only).
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the engine
oil as it may be hot enough to burn you!

G050B01A-AATRecommended Engine CoolantUse a high quality ethylene-glycol coolant
in a 50/50 mix with water. The engine
coolant should be compatible with
aluminum engine parts. Additional
corrosion inhibitors or additives should
not be used. The cooling system must be
maintained with the correct concentration
and type of engine coolant to prevent
freezing and corrosion. Never allow the
concentration of antifreeze to exceed the
60% level or go below the 35% level, or
damage to the cooling system may result.
For proper concentration when adding or
replacing the engine coolant, refer to the
following table.
G050C01NF-GATTo Check the Coolant LevelThe coolant level can be seen on the side
of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of
the coolant should be between the "L" and
"F" lines on the reservoir when the engine
is warm with it at idle . If the level is below
the "L" mark, add engine coolant to bring
it up to "F". If the level is low, inspect for
coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level
frequently. If the level drops again, visit
your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and
diagnosis of the reason.
G050C01NFG050D01NF-GAT
To Change the Engine CoolantThe engine coolant should be changed at
those intervals specified in the vehicle
maintenance schedule in Section 5.
CAUTION:
o Engine coolant can damage the finish
of your car. If you spill engine coolant
on the car, wash it off thoroughly with
clean water.
o The engine in your vehicle has alumi-
num engine parts and must be
protected by an ethylene-glycol base
coolant to prevent corrosion and freez-
ing.
Do not use hard water. Hard water can
cause engine damage from corro-
sion, overheating or freezing.

2. After the transaxle is warmed up
sufficiently (fluid temperature 70~80°C
(158~176°F), for example by 10 minutes
usual driving, move the shift lever
through all positions then place the
selector lever in “N (Neutral) or P (Park)”
position.
G110D03O-AATChecking the automatic transaxle
fluid levelThe automatic transaxle fluid level should
be checked regularly.
Keep the vehicle on the level ground with
the parking brake applied and check the
fluid level according to the following
procedure.
1. Place the selector lever in N (Neutral)
position and confirm the engine is
running at normal idle speed.
ONF078008
OHD076045N
Fluid level should be within "HOT" range
3. Confirm that the fluid level is in “HOT”
range on the level gauge. If the fluid
level is lower, add the specified fluid
from the fill hole. If the fluid level is
higher, drain the fluid from the drain
hole.
4. If the fluid level is checked in cold
condition (fluid temperature 20~30°C
(68~86°F) add the fluid to “COLD” line
and then recheck the fluid level
according to the above step 2.
