Information  
After driving more than 10 years or 100,000 miles, use severe maintenance schedule.  
Information  
śꢀ As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving, the engine oil level should  
be checked on regular basis.  
śꢀ The engine oil change interval for normal operating conditions is based on the use of the  
recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not  
used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe  
operating conditions.  
śꢀ The vehicle may be equipped with the Oil Life Management System that predicts engine  
oil life based on the driver’s driving history and alerts the driver to change engine oil.  
- If the deterioration of the engine oil increases depending on the driver’s driving  
severity, the remaining oil life alert appears on the instrument cluster before the  
normal engine oil replacement interval. Have the engine oil and filter changed by an  
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.  
- Oil Life Management System works when the recommended engine oil is used.  
So, if recommended engine oil is not used, replace the engine oil according to the  
maintenance schedule under severe usage conditions. Also, check the amount of engine  
oil regularly as this system assumes that the engine oil is being filled normally.  
- Always reset the remaining engine oil life whenever the engine oil is changed.  
Otherwise, The indication of remaining Oil life in the Oil Life Management System  
may not be accurate. To reset the Oil Change Reminder, select ‘RESET’ from the  
infotainment system screen. Then, select ‘Yes’ when the message “Changed engine oil?  
Press [Yes] to reset the oil life.” appears on the screen.  
- If there is no alert until the maximum maintenance interval, have the vehicle checked  
by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
