#34 of 39 Re: Oil Change Information [perdido2key] by posystm Nov 26, 2008 (11:59 am)
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)
