change

Took delivery of a new 2012 Genesis Sedan 3.8 ten days ago. Already have over 1,600 miles on it. Any suggestions on when to do the first oil change? I know the manual says 3,750 under severe conditions, but I'm looking to get at least ten years of service from the car. Thanks. R. Hagler Daphne...

I removed the lite assembly from inside the trunk,then disconnected the cable and had the lense and housing in one piece.I can't separate the lense from the housing to get to the bulb.Anyone do this,I would appreciate any input. Many thanks,JNP

I've had the Genesis for alomost 6 months. Ironically I have not been driving much since I moved to LA. The car has only 2600 miles on it. I changed the oil at 100 miles and 600 miles. I'm using synthetic. Since it may take me another 6 months to get to 4500 miles and another year to get to...

Hello I need to change the tire for all 4 . But you all know that Ride is Rougher 2009 genesis 4.6 I like to change the tire size to 235 55 18 for a little softer ride. it's fit on 2009 genesis ?????? Please let me know Thanks

I just bought my Genesis today...and on the way home, I realized that I don't have HID lights (at least, I don't think I do). They are that nasty yellow color, and I hate it. I just think that color looks cheap. Can I change that color to the brighter white or blue-ish tint? Is that just as...

I would like to replace the grille on the 2012 when I get it (WA Dealers may not get them till next year). My opinion is that the grille on the Equus and Genesis give them away easily as "lesser" to MB and BMW to a discerning eye. I love the Trex DUB Design mesh grille Has anyone changed the...

Took my Genny over to Hilton Head Hyundai this am for an oil change. In and out in 45 mins. Got home and checked the oil and it had been over filled by 1/2 quart...back to the dealer I go. I had taken them 6qts of Mobil 1 so I didn't have to pay their absurd synthetic upcharge. Asked the...

I thought I was supposed to get my engine oil changed every 5000 miles, not 3000 but the dealership (two different ones) keeps scheduling the next appointment after 3000 miles. Is that normal? I thought non synthetic oils are supposed to last 5000 with the synthetic lasting 7500 or more?

You will note that the drain plug is very, very tight. I suspect the factory uses an impact wrench to tighten this plug. Whatever, it will take some tapping with a hammer on the wrench to break it loose. Don't use an impact wrench as it will spin off so fast that you will be bathed in oil...

I have higher profile tires with wider treads and therefor the load capability is greater for any given pressure. I would like to run 28 max but theTPMS seems to trip at 29.5 - 30 psi. I would like to lower it to trip at 27Psi.

I used to change my oil (3.8 - 2010) every 4 months or 4000 km. I switched to synthetic oil at 20000km. How often should I change the oil now if I stick with synthetic. Right now we're on a 10000km+ trip and I changed the oil just before we left. thanks

I just looked at the build date sticker on my car, and found that it was built mid-November 2010. So that probably means the car has been sitting at the dealership since January? Even though I bought the car just 2 wks ago with 50 miles on it, it has been over 6 months. That means I should get...

Wouldn't it be cool if you could change the image that comes up on the navi screen when you turn the Genny on? We could change it to display the winged Genesis logo or whatever you wanted... a photo of your dog or your wife's butt. Anyone else thought about this or am I just weird? Any thoughts...

I have a dilemma and I need help resolving it. I have been a member of this forum for about 1 1/2 years now, and have anxiously been waiting for the 2012 Genesis refresh to come out. I had mentally committed to myself to either buying a 2012 Genesis or a MB E350, with the decision based upon...

Very happy with my 2010 4.6L Genny with tech package. Someone noted that some people are swapping out their Genesis emblems with Equus, ordering them from Korea. If I wanted to consider this, would I be able to swap out only the front and rear emblems? I asked the dealer, and he said that...

I have a 2011 genesis 4.6 and love it. one quirk is that when i play music via usb flash drive i change the settings to play the songs randomly. the default setting is to play the songs as they are listed on flash drive. when i turn the car off and then restart it, i have to navigate back to...

Don't know if this has been addressed before - I did a search but couldn't find anything quite like what happened to me today. I took my 2009 V6 Sedan in for the 54,000 Km service which is basically just an oil change. Also had the wheels aligned as the car had developed a bit of a pull to...

Hi: I ordered an OEM airbag with the winged emblem on it from Korea. It seemed like an easy switch. but I don't want to do anything myself that would void the warranty so I called Roseville Hyundai Service (california) and they said they won't do it. Is this unusual? I thought other dealers...

I've never attempted my own oil changes but just looking for a way to save a little $$$ what with the economy and all. How difficult is it for someone who is mostly inexperienced to do their own oil changes? I am alright with tools, about average mechanical ability. For those who do, how much...

I have a 2009 3.8 Tech and my wife really wants a wood steering wheel. Would prefer the factory one on the 4.6 without paying the dealer retail $$$$. Any suggestions/recommendations?
