Close How To Check the Oil in Your Hyundai in Baltimore, MD
During your drives around Baltimore, you will want to ensure that your engine oil remains at peak quality. Otherwise, you risk potential damage to components that are expensive to replace. Because of this, our team at Antwerpen Hyundai Catonsville would like to inform you on how to verify your oil’s quality and quantity.
Preparation
Before you can get started on checking your Hyundai’s oil supply, you will need to complete a couple of prerequisite steps. To start, you’ll want to make sure that your SANTA FE, SONATA, or ELANTRA has not been active for the past few hours. Otherwise, the oil will be too hot to work with, and you risk hurting yourself. Additionally, the vehicle must be resting on a flat surface so that you can accurately measure the oil supply. As for items, you will want to collect a light-colored cloth and a pair of gloves. The former allows you to get a look at the quality of the oil, while the latter protects your hands from residue.
Process
Now that you have accomplished the former tasks, you can begin by flipping up the hood and locating the brightly-colored handle. This is connected to the dipstick, which is submerged in the reservoir. Remove this and wipe off any remaining liquid onto the cloth mentioned prior, and then inspect it. Do you notice a sludge-like consistency, or a dark hue? These are signs that the oil has become contaminated and must be completely exchanged for a fresh supply. If not, place the dipstick back into its slot fully, then remove it once more. There are two markers on the shaft that indicate whether it is at a satisfactory capacity, or requires a top-off. In the event that you observe signs of waning oil quality or quantity, visit our Service Department before your next trip across Route 29.
Final Steps
Once you’ve understood what has gone awry with your current supply of oil, you are invited to schedule a service appointment at our location. In most cases, we generally suggest having an oil change once every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. This can largely vary depending on whether you utilize conventional or synthetic oil. The former doesn't last as long, but is more cost-effective. The latter is the complete opposite, while also being recommended for high-output vehicles.
