I'm a licensed mechanic and want to do my own changes cause I want to check everything myself. I have access to a friends shop so it's no problem with ramps or oil on the driveway,,I detest the filter system as with a hoist it's easier to simply discard a spin on rather than the top mount,, perhaps it is more "green" just to use the refill,, but I would rather have a new spin on.. Dealer oil changes like lube shops don't spend the time to look everything over like the owner does so more than the price it's the quality of the work by doing it yourself!

Replying to: perdido2key (Feb 02, 2008 2:14 pm) I cant find anywhere stating 6.76 US Qts of oil.   According to Hyundais service site:   Capacity When replacing a short engine or a block assembly : 6.0L(6.34U.S.qts,5.28lmp.qts) When replacing an oil pan only : 5.5L(5.81U.S.qts,4.84lmp.qts) Drain and refill : 5.2L(5.49U.S.qts,4.58lmp.qts)   Their drain and refill says 5.49 qts, which is what I put in when I just did an oil change, but was barely registering on the dipstick, so I recalled this site and saw 6.76 Qts, so I poured in the rest of the 6th qt, now I am about a 1/4" above full. I pulled the drain plug, changed the filter, then reinstalled the drain plug with a warm engine.   As far as the filter goes, this design seems sloppier than a spin on only due to the fact you have to replace the o-rings, plus the additional time to remove/replace the engine cover.   Just my .02

Replying to: tarty1 (Nov 13, 2008 4:01 pm) I tend to agree. I grew up changing my own oil and worked my way thru college at a service station, thus I have done DIY oil changes hundreds of times. I prefer this as I just don't trust anyone else to do it correctly.... unless I am sitting there watching them.

Replying to: ccornell (Jul 14, 2009 4:59 pm) The research documents I studied on the Internet indicated that synthetic oil might improve gas mileage slightly (< 2 MPG), but you have to decide whether it is worth the significant extra cost. I have been using conventional oil in my 2007 (33,000 miles) and my vehicle is averaging 20.5 MPG. Replies to this message: ccornell (Jul 15, 2009 8:44 am) ccornell (Jul 16, 2009 8:36 am)

Replying to: jmaulsby (Jul 15, 2009 8:31 am) conventional oils 3,000 per change is what my Hyundai dealer recomends synthethic oils 5,000 plus per change the cost difference is balanced with changing my own oil. I purchase oil from advance when it is on sale I purchase 5 quarts and they give me a filter yes I will have to purchase the extra quart. Question? Which oil do you use my dealer uses Pensoil? Whay oil does Hyundai recomend? charlie Replies to this message: ccornell (Jul 16, 2009 8:36 am)

Replying to: ccornell (Jul 15, 2009 8:44 am) My oil cap or as some people say 710 cap says 5w-20 I live on Georgia all directions in previous post were correct even torque. Yes it needs 6.50 to 6.75 qts. of oil. First oil change synthethic castrol and used CH9999 filter found at auto zone. Yes I replaced with 5w-20 synthethic oil total oil and filter $36.48 labor priceless. charlie ASE certified Technicial and High School Automotive Instructor
