ELANTRA, TIBURON I-4

SUBJECT

CHANGE OF ENGINE OIL CAPACITY

The 2.0L engine oil capacity shown in the Elantra and Tiburon shop manuals and owner's manuals is incorrect. The correct capacity is 3.3L without oil filter and 3.5L with oil filter. The oil level should also be checked on the dipstick every time the oil is changed. Check the dipstick after running the engine for 1-2 minutes and assure that the oil level is at the maximum mark.

Please mark this information on the appropriate pages of your affected manuals.

AFFECTED VEHICLES:

All XD Elantra vehicles.
All 2003 Tiburon vehicles with the 2.0L I-4 engine.
