oil

i note that the service order when i got an oil change at the dealer called for one 2630-3c250 oil filter however, yet on the official hyundai store site that filter is listed as for the v6 engine and all equus are to use filter 26320-3c30A. is the 3c250 the same as the 3c30A, was the correct...

Hi Guys, when do you change for first time your engine oil? Some people change it on around 1000 miles for first time and then go along with the manufacturer maintenance schedule. Others change the oil on around 1000 miles, after that on around 3000 miles and then go along with the manufacturer...

I want to get everyone's opinion if it was safe to have the oil changed on my 2013 Genesis at the above mentioned shops. I think the oil change part would be fine, but my concern is that they would use a non Hyundai oil filter. Do you think the use of the non oem filter could damage the engine?

I have a 2009 4.6 and I'm looking at a 2012 5.0 with 55000km on it. I've read a lot on oil burning problems on that year. Would it be a good idea to pass on this 2012? Is there a specific month that has that problem? Any info would be great!

Does anyone know if an oil filter for a 2009 Genesis 4.6 will fit a 2014 Equus? I have 5 filters left over from my 4.6 Genesis and want to know if I should consider using them for my Equus oil changes or not. From what I can see, my 2009 Genesis used oil filter 26320-3C100. It appears that the...

Hi, I collect my nice new 3.8L Genesis soon. I'm told by the Service department that the original oil fitted is produced by Total and is fully synthetic. I usually keep my new cars for a few years. I've had my fabulous and reliable Sonata for 9 years. So I like to use good quality, fully...

Just got back from a dealer compleated oil and filter change and paid $43.09, and was in and out in 45 minutes! They used a synthetic blend 5W30 oil, factory filter and kit, conducted a multi-point inspection, performed two recalls (a cowl replacement due to leaking when it rained and a dummy...

Hello fellow Genesis drivers, I just changed my oil with Mahle Oil Filter kit which came with the filter, oil pan plug crush washer, big o-ring that goes around the oil filter cap and a small o-ring which I ended up not using. When I took out the filter that was installed by the dealer, which...

They wanted $120 for synthetic blend. Said because it's 10quarts not 5. This sounds absurd to me. Is this normal? Of course, I refused. But, do people actually pay this?

I just did the third oil change on the car. Just a heads up. The panel inserts (plastic ones) will become almost unusable once taken out so do pick up a bag of 100 or so on eBay and keep in your trunk...

We have the 3.8 AWD. Has about 4500 miles. Was going to change with full synth at around 6K. Dealer gave me first oil change (after 6mo) free but didn't specify synth or reg. Once dealer changes it I'll probably change myself as I engoy doing it - unless full syth price is too reasonable to...

So the car just turned 4k miles and I want to get the oil and filter changed this weekend. I plan to use just dinosaur oil (if the car did not originally come with synthetic oil.) I don't have the car here with me to look in the owners manual. Should I go get a factory oil filter to cover my...

Hello all, Took my 2015 Genesis into the dealer I got my car from for its first oil change and got the rear tail light recall done. Everything went fine (at first), car was finished by the time I got off work, picked it up and drove right off. After driving away from the dealership I thought to...

I saw a thread for a 5.0 R-Spec oil catch can install, so I thought I would share my catch can install on my 2012 3.8 V6. I used the same brand CC (catch can) as in the R-Spec thread. It is very solid, built from T6061 aluminum, is baffled, and there is a dip stick on the top so you can tell...

My dilemma is that I'm not sure if synthetic is the way to go for me. I've only put on 4000 miles in the last 11 months since I bought the car, so I'm not sure if a once a year synthetic oil/filter changes is better than twice a year (2000-2500 mile) conventional oil/filter changes. The idea of...

I own the 2014 RSpec and notice that just a minor change in the level of the car (ex. sitting in a slightly graded parking space) can show a false reading of up to 1 quart low on the dipstick. Maybe I'm becoming fixated on this but it's getting to the point where I'm going to start calibrating...

Hi all, I had my 15,000 mile service today. The dealer was excellent by the way - Props to North County Hyundai! Anyway - They used PEAK full synthetic 5W20 motor oil. I never heard of it. Does anyone know this brand? Any good? Just curious. Its not a brand I know.

Coming from the Theta II optima i have learned that GDI tends to cause a bit much of oil to gather, and being that the genesis is also gdi i decided to put my oil catch can on the genesis 5.0 r spec. ill be keeping up with this weekly to show the amount of build up in oil the catch can obtains...

Last 2 cars Ive had have been sports cars, so Ive always used synthetic. When I went to the dealer and requested it, they were like, we dont use that, but we can get it for you. Is my dealership just dumb or does everyone just use regular. And for whichever you use, how often are you changing...
