I just received my first mailing with coupons from my dealer, North County Hyundai in Carlsbad, CA. Oil change = 34.95 (regular price not provided) 7,500 service = 49.95 (regular price = 69.95) 15,000 service = 179.95 (regular price = 199.95) 30,000 service = 175.95, 290.95, or 559.95 (the later two include one or more of the biggest service department profit items: cooling system flush, transmission flush, fuel induction service) Bottom line - these prices (even with the coupon) are highway robbery. For those who aren't do-it-yourself (or who aren't allowed due to HOA restrictions on doing car repairs at your home) where are people taking their cars for service? |

The Azera is full of modern technology components and I would just let the dealer handle the maintenance on it...just waiting for Hyundai to get the factory installed XM satellite radio going and then it will be time to get serious about owning one

Just had the first oil change completed. Now listen up, I had them check the alignment, four wheel, because I thought it was a little out. Well the printout came back from the tech, ALL FOUR corners were out and needed to be adjusted, not alot, just a tweak here and there. The cost of this, zip, nadda, freebe. Why??? Because it's covered under the 12/12 adjustment warranty and yes, you do have to tell the service person and then they acknowledge that it's a free service. |

Enough blogging on removing that good looking "H".. (Why make your AZERA look incomplete)? And on to important things like .. Is the AZERA oil filter replacement readily available?

Replying to: vjk6666 (Jun 27, 2006 8:34 am) Other sellers are getting upwards of $20 to buy online, plus shipping. Has anyone performed their own Oil change on the Azera? Any "gotchas" that you can advise the Forum to watch for?

Replying to: wamba2000 (Jun 27, 2006 10:27 am) Why would one pay 20 bucks for filter plus shipping for filter alone? The dealer checks and adds all other fluids and adjusts air in tires at no additional charge. I believe they even washed the car. |

I don't know: most new car manuals state those type of things, but the dealers all tell you "it's not your father's Oldsmobile" and to drive it like you would any other car. Now, I'm not saying "drive it like you stole it", but - be reasonable and I'm cerain everything will be just fine! Most every car made always told you to "bring the car in for service" at 1000 miles until a few years ago. Now, the dealer doesn't need to see you until 7500 miles, and that should be a clue for those folks that insist on 3000 mile oil-change intervals: that's your father's Oldsmobile. Any car built after 2001 should be able to easily go 7500 miles on even 'dino' oil, much less a good synthetic! I change mine (even using Pennzoil Platinum pure synth) at 7500 just to be safe, but it could easily go 10000 or more and I've done the "Used Oil Analysis" several times just to make me feel good. (for further discussion, see "BITOG" - Bob is the Oil Guy) Maybe cut it in half for the first interval (i.e. do it at 3750 and 7500) just to insure you get all the waste metal out, or at least swap out the oil filter which is much more important in that respect than the oil itself!

Replying to: ratledge (Jun 29, 2006 3:32 am) Perhaps you missed the discussions concensus based on UOAs over at BITOG that conventional motor oils max out at around 5,000 miles? I'm among those who're convinced current conventional motor oils have elliminated the engine protection superiority formerly associated only with full synthetics, but these remarkable conventionals do demonstrate their limitations if pushed beyond 5,000 miles. Finally, there's always the "severe service" disclaimer that automakers can and do use to deny an oil-related engine failure warranty claim, too. For most automakers, "severe service" puts a 3,000 mile cap on oil and filter change intervals under applicable operating conditions. |
