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 theparking 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" (automatic transmis- sion) or reverse gear (manual transmis- sion).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the drain plug by turning it counterclockwise 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.
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: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter- clockwise with a oil filter wrench of theproper size. A certain amount of oil will come out when you remove the filter. So be sure to have your drain pan in place under- neath it.
6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the carton or on the filteritself. Do not over-tighten (Tightening
torque: Gasoline- 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf .

Diesel (2.9 CRDi) sion. Never allow the concentration of anti- freeze to exceed the 60% level or go below the 35% level, otherwise damage to the cooling system may result. For proper concentration when adding or replacing the engine coolant, refer to the following table.
8. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil
is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
9. Shut off the engine and recheck the oil level. NOTE: Always dispose of used engine oil in anenvironmentally acceptable manner. It is sug- gested that it be placed in a sealed container and taken to a service station for reclama- tion. Do not pour the oil on the ground or put it into the household trash. WARNING: Used motor oil may cause irritation or can- cer of the skin if left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods of time. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm wa- ter as soon as possible after handling used oil. G050A01A-AAT CHECKING AND CHANGING THE EN- GINE COOLANT WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. When the engine is hot, the engine coolant is under pressure and may erupt through the opening if the cap is removed. You could be seriously burned if you do not observe this precaution. Do not remove the radiator cap until the radiator is cool to touch.

NOTE: Gasoline Engine Only Before adding the coolant to the radiator, unscrew the flange bolt for fitting water outlet to escape the excess pressure. And if the coolant overflows from the hole while adding the coolant, screw the bolt and con- tinue to add the coolant. 4. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise with-
out pressing down on it, until it stops. Thisrelieves any pressure remaining in the cool- ing system. And remove the radiator cap by pushing down and turning counterclockwise. Now fill the radiator with clean demineral-ized or distilled water. Continue to add clean demineralized or distilled water in small quan- tities until the fluid level stays up in the radiator neck.
5. Start the engine, top off the radiator with water and then add coolant to the reservoir until the level is between "LOW" and "FULL".
6. Replace the radiator and reservoir caps and check to be sure the drain cocks are fullyclosed and not leaking.
WARNING:The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool-
ant temperature and may sometimes oper- ate even when the engine is not running.
Gasoline Engine only
The coolant level can be seen on the side of the plastic coolant reservoir. The level of the cool- ant should be between the "LOW" and "FULL" lines on the reservoir when the engine is cool. If the level is below the "LOW" mark, add engine coolant to bring it up between "LOW" and "FULL". If the level is low, inspect for coolant leaks and recheck the fluid level fre- quently. If the level drops again, visit your Hyundai dealer for an inspection and diagnosis of the reason.
G050D01HP-GAT To Change the Engine CoolantThe engine coolant should be changed at those intervals specified in the vehicle maintenance schedule in Section 5. CAUTION: Engine coolant can damage the finish of your car. If you spill engine 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 the radiator. Allowall the engine coolant to drain from the cooling system, then securely close the drain cock.
