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.

*1 : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on page 12.
*2 : Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional
benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary
to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to measure in
everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they can offer significant cost and energy savings.
*3 : If the recommended engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API
SL/ILSAC GF-3 or ACEA A3.
*4 : To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, we recommend
that you use genuine brake fluid that conform to specifications. (Standard : SAE J1704
DOT-4 LV, ISO4925 CLASS-6 and FMVSS 116 DOT-4)

Checking the Engine Oil Level
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 five minutes for the oil to return to the
oil pan.
5. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.

F and L.

7. If it is near or at L, add enough oil to bring the level to F.
Use only the specified engine oil. (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” in chapter 2).
NOTICE
To prevent damage to your engine:
• Do not overfill with engine oil. Add oil
in small quantities and recheck level
to ensure engine is not overfilled.
• Do not spill engine oil when adding
or changing engine oil. Use a funnel
to help prevent oil from being spilled
on engine components. Wipe off
spilled oil immediately.

Checking the Brake Fluid Level
ODN8089005ODN8089005
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 the specified brake
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, have the brake system
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
WARNING
If the brake system requires frequent
additions of fluid this could indicate
a leak in the brake system. Have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with your eyes. If brake 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 fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as paint
damage will result.
• Brake 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.
• Do not use the wrong kind of brake
fluid. A few drops of mineral based
oil, such as engine oil, in your brake
system can damage brake system
parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” in chapter 2).
