Replying to: garysteinweg (Jan 24, 2008 8:13 pm) A big mistake for sure. No one can tell the actual conditions of the oil by "the appearance" of the oil. I found out the hard way when I mistakenly waited until mine had 3750 miles and then changed it and sent a sample in for analysis. I got the results back and discovered that I should have changed mine much sooner to get rid of all kinds of contaminants, many of which may have been there since the motor was installed. Hopefully some of those high levels of undesireable contaminants were from the new motor breaking in. I trust that with the next analysis, many of those high levels will no longer be present. |

I noticed the other day that when the Azera started, it didn't turn over and sound normal. Had the battery checked at a Checker store and within 5 seconds of starting the test, the tech got a "Battery Unstable" reading. I found out that the aftermarket doesn't seem to have a battery listed for the Azera, not Checker, Sears, Interstate, Diehard, etc...... Autozone does have a group 24F battery listed. Took the Azera to my dealer and found out that batteries have two years of warranty coverage, I'm a month short of 2 years since purchase, so they replaced it for me No charge. I know Hyundai service takes a lot of hits on this forum, but my experiences have been very good. We now have the Azera, a Santa Fe and just added an Elantra to the family...and all have been very impressive. |

Can synthetic blend oils be used on an Azera without violation the warranty? What is required to maintain the warranty, if an owner wants to do his own maintenance? Thanks, Jerry

Replying to: allmet33 (Aug 27, 2008 6:44 am) I just bought the Azera and have not used that type of oil filter before. Could you tell me what is inside the oil filter container besides the oil filter and the "O" rings? Is there some springs or other stuff that can fall out? Do you need a special tool to remove the oil filter contained? Does it have a nut type fitting on the top? I have done my own maintenance on my other cars, but they all had the old stile oil filter. Thanks, Jerry

Replying to: garysteinweg (Jan 26, 2008 6:32 pm) >> 5000 miles from now, we'll see if it's as simple as it should be. I recently did my 10K-mile oil change. It was as simple as I hoped it would be. I did experience one unexpected problem. I'd bought a Pure One filter from Pep Boys earlier. When I went to replace the small o-ring on the end of the cartridge spindle, I noted that the new o-ring didn't have quite the same cross-section (thickness) as the old o-ring (from the STP filter kit that I used for my 1st oil change). In fact, the edge of the Pure One o-ring did not extend beyond the edge of the recess it was contained in which meant it would not seal. So, I levered the old o-ring back on and reused it. I'd bought three Pure One filters, so I traded the two remaining ones for Fram CH9999 filters at Pep Boys. Some may not be able to see the difference in the cross-section of the o-rings, but I could see that the Fram o-ring was slightly thicker. It was weird when I did the exchange. I expected to pay a $2 difference for each Fram filter. Instead, the clerk said I owed $10 more because the Fram filters were $10.99. I told her "no, they're $7.99. So, she phoned back to the parts area, had a short discussion, hung up and told me the Frams are really on sale - two for $5.00 and gave me back $5 plus the Fram filters instead of charging me anything. Go figger. Regards, Gary in Sandy Eggo
