Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining your Hyundai car's performance, efficiency, and longevity. Motor oil lubricates the engine parts, reduces friction and wear, helps regulate engine temperature, and removes harmful contaminants. That's why Patriot Hyundai of Danville is excited to offer oil change service specials for Hyundai owners in the area.
​At our certified Hyundai service center, located at 3724 N Vermilion Street in Danville, IL, our expert technicians will change your oil using genuine Hyundai parts and the recommended grade of synthetic oil for your specific model. We'll also replace the oil filter, which helps to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the oil, ensuring that your engine stays clean and protected.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hyundai Oil Changes
Q: How often should I change the oil on my Hyundai car?
Hyundai recommends changing your oil every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently drive in severe conditions, such as extreme temperatures, dusty areas, or heavy stop-and-go traffic, you may need to change your oil more frequently. Consult your owner's manual or ask one of our certified technicians for specific recommendations based on your driving habits and conditions.
Q: What type of oil does my Hyundai car take?
The type of oil your Hyundai car takes depends on the specific model and year of your vehicle. Most newer Hyundai models require synthetic oil, which provides better protection and performance compared to conventional oil. However, it's always best to refer to your owner's manual or consult with one of our certified technicians to determine the correct type and grade of oil for your specific Hyundai model.
Q: Do I need to change my oil filter at the same time as my oil?
Yes, it is recommended to change your oil filter every time you change your oil. The oil filter plays a crucial role in removing contaminants from the oil and keeping your engine clean. Over time, the filter can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing its effectiveness and potentially causing damage to your engine. By changing the oil filter along with the oil, you ensure that your engine receives the maximum benefits of clean, fresh oil.
Q: What are some signs that I need to change my Hyundai car's engine oil? Some common signs that your Hyundai may need an oil change include:
- The oil change reminder light or message on your dashboard
- Dark, dirty, or gritty oil on the dipstick
- Unusual engine noises or knocking sounds
- Decreased fuel efficiency or increased exhaust smoke
If you notice any of these signs, it's best to schedule an oil change as soon as possible to avoid potential damage to your engine.
Q: Do Hyundai EVs need oil changes?
No, Hyundai electric vehicles (EVs) do not require traditional oil changes, as they do not have internal combustion engines that rely on motor oil for lubrication and cooling. However, EVs still require regular maintenance, such as tire rotations, brake service, and coolant checks, to ensure optimal performance and longevity. If you own a Hyundai EV, consult your owner's manual or contact our certified service center for specific maintenance recommendations.
