More likely, the 3750 mile oil change interval is for cars in "severe service", the details of which are specified in the owner's manual. As for me, I change oil at that interval on my Elantra for two reasons: 1) I only drive that car about 7500 miles a year, and I don't want to leave dino oil in the car that long, and 2) I get free oil changes at my Hyundai dealer every 3750 miles.

Also drive about 7250 miles per year but do the changes about every 4800 miles because I feel one change per year is a bit much with dino oil. I'd definitely do it once a year with synthetic no matter what my oil minder says. Just haven't done the switch yet. A guy in the warehouse area where my installation is will do the synthetic change with new filter for $44.00 so I will probably do the switch and just have him adjust the mileage minder as needed. Have heard that one can go back to dino if not happy but we'll see what happens when the time comes. Still have about 2k miles to decide but am leaning towards the switch.

You only need to change the oil every 7,500 miles to for warranty purposes. I always change my oil every 3,000-3,500 miles anyway. On my cars that use Synthetic, I change it every 5K.

I have an 09 Touring and on occasion when i get out of the car the driver door locks automatically without me locking the car, also on occasion all 4 door lock, One time it happened when I put the car in the garage and put my key in he cup holder. Fortunatly I had another set at home and was able to open the doors, Has this happened to any one else?? I took it back to the dealer and as usual it did not happen.

This happens to me all the time with my '04 Elantra. The lock button on the key fob is pretty sensitive, so it doesn't take much pressure to accidentally lock the doors. It's possible the key fob on the Touring is sensitive like that. But I don't understand why sometimes only the driver's door locks and sometimes all four lock. So that could indicate a problem with the power locks.

Press one time on key fob to lock the driver door( or unlock it); while press two times to lock or unlock ALL 4 doors.

OK, that is different from the two Elantras I've owned. On those, one press of the lock button locks all doors; one press of the unlock button unlocks the driver's door, and two presses unlocks all doors. I understand the unlocking action, but I don't see the value of requiring two presses to lock all doors.

I like the look of roof rack on i30CW and wonder if anyone has ordered from Hyundai as parts for Elantra Touring? Thanks.

I don't have a link, but a roof rack is going to be an available option on the 2010s (didn't I read that the 2010s are already available in Canada?).
 
My guess is that you'll be able to retrofit a rack on '09 and earlier Tourings once they arrive in the States.
 
You'd save some freight if you search for Canadian parts first instead of shipping one over from the EU.
