I changed my oil and inspected my air filter on my 3.8L V6. Due to the bottom fairings, it is somewhat of a pain, but probably easier and definitely neater than my 2010 V8.
My tool set is:
27mm socket.
17mm socket.
10mm socket.
3/8 Rachet and 1/2 adapter for my 27 mm socket.
Phillips bit or screwdriver.
o-ring pick (nice to have).
M18 fuel driver (there are a lot of screws, so really nice to have).
Rag.
Drain pan
Ramps
The basic procedure is:
Drive/Raise vehicle onto ramps.
Remove front fairing
Remove rear fairing
Remove drain plug and drain oil pan
Replace drain plug (and drain plug gasket if desired)
Remove filter housing and let drain
Replace filter and filter housing o-ring. (Coat new o-ring with clean oil before installing).
Replace rear fairing
Replace front fairing
Reset service interval on Driver's Information System
Record Maintainence in Maintainence Log.
If it weren't for the 5,000 fasteners for the 2 fairings, it would be on the easy side of oil changes. (If my aunt . . ., she would be my uncle).
I am considering cutting a large access hole for the drain plug into the rear fairing. Would simplify the job a fair bit. I haven't figured out how I will cover the hole (thus retaining the aerodynamics that Hyundai seems to covet) yet.
I can post 10 pictures per post, so I will post several replies with the rest of the pictures.
