Modern cars don't require nearly as much maintenance as their predecessors. Long gone are the days when you would just assume that the oil needed changing every three thousand miles, for example. But with those guidelines becoming obsolete, it does leave a lot of people unclear about what the maintenance schedule for their vehicle actually is. Fortunately, Hyundai is quite possibly the best automotive manufacturer in the world when it comes to clear and concise maintenance schedules that are easy to find. Let's take a look at how they break down.
Hyundai Service Schedule - General Guidelines
While there might not be a universal rule for all kinds of maintenance for all vehicles, it is possible to give a few general guidelines for the new vehicles available now in the Hyundai lineup. There isn't much difference between gasoline and electric models here, with the obvious exception of oil changes, which electric vehicles don't need. These are the major intervals for current models:
- 8,000 miles - Replace Engine Oil and Filter, Rotate Tires, inspect major components
- 16,000 miles - Replace Cabin Air Filter
- 24,000 miles - Replace Air Cleaner Filter
- 48,000 miles - Replace Brake Fluid, Replace Spark Plugs
Hyundai Service Schedule - Detailed Breakdown
General guidelines are good to have, but nothing will give you peace of mind like having the full maintenance schedule. As with any vehicle, this is available in the owner's manual, but Hyundai also offers an online tool where you can check maintenance schedules for all Hyundai models from 2000 to the present. This is an extremely useful tool, and one that most manufacturers just don't bother with. Just one of the many advantages of owning a Hyundai vehicle.
