Signs You Need an Oil Change

When your vehicle needs an oil change, it will let you know. Most late model Hyundai vehicles come with an oil-life gauge that will illuminate the oil light when the life is at zero. Other signs aren’t as gentle.

Most vehicles need oil changes between 3,000 and 7,500 miles or once per season. If you’ve exceeded the manufacturer’s recommendation for regular oil changes, your vehicle might start having problems.

A sign that you need an oil change could be a new noise in your engine, as the old oil stops lubricating engine parts. If you need an oil change, the old oil could start to release a burning odor into your cabin. Drivers who check their oil will notice that the old oil is dirty and gritty.

Waiting too long to change your oil can cause extensive damage to your Hyundai. The best choice is to change your engine oil as recommended in your vehicle’s owner manual. If you are uncertain about when to change your Hyundai’s engine oil, the service advisor can help you and schedule oil changes in advance.
