Oil Filter: Service and Repair

SELECTION OF ENGINE OIL







Recommended API classification: SD OR ABOVE SE OR ABOVE [For EC.]

Recommended SAE viscosity grades:
* 1 mRestricted by driving condition and environment.
* 2 GNot recommended for sustained high speed vehicle operation

NOTE: For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which:

1. Satisfy the requirements of the API classification.
2. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range.
2. Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade number and an API service classification on the container should not be used.




CHANGING ENGINE OIL

CAUTION: Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot

1. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Remove the oil filler cap and the drain plug (on the oil pan). Drain the engine oil.
4. Tighten the drain plug to the specified torque.

Tightening torque
Oil pan drain plug 35 - 45 Nm (25 - 33 ft. lbs.)

NOTE: Whenever tightening the oil drain plug, use a new drain plug gasket.

5. Fill the new engine oil through the oil filler cap.

Drain and Refill
Oil quantity 4.5 L (4.74 U.S. qts., 3.95 Imp. qts.)

NOTE: Do not over fill. This will cause oil aeration and loss of oil pressure.

6. Install the oil filler cap.
7. Start and run the engine.







8. Turn off the engine and then check the oil level. Add oil if necessary.





FILTER SELECTION
All Hyundai Motor Company engines are equipped with a high quality, disposable oil filter. This filter is recommended as a replacement filter for all vehicles. The quality of after market replacement filters vary considerably.







High quality of replacement filters should be used to assure the most efficient service. Make sure that the rubber gasket from the old oil filter is completely removed from the contact surface on the engine block before installing a new filter.



PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING OIL FILTER
1. Use a filter wrench to remove the oil filter.
2. Before installing a new oil filter on the engine, apply clean engine oil to the surface of the rubber gasket.
3. Tighten the oil filter of the specified torque.

Tightening torque
Oil filter 12 - 16 Nm (9 - 12 ft. lbs.)

4. Start and run the engine and check engine oil leaks.







5. After stopping the engine, check the oil level and add oil as necessary.
