Missing scheduled oil changes can jeopardize warranty coverage if an engine failure is linked to lack of maintenance.

• Follow Hyundai’s interval for your conditions
• Save receipts and mileage for each service
• Use OEM-spec oil and filters to stay compliant

• Full synthetic: best protection and stability
• Blend: mid-tier performance and cost
• Conventional: basic protection; shorter intervals
