oil

I'm not sure if this thread belongs here or exists somewhere else. Does anyone know the torque specifications for the oil drain bolt and oil filter cap on the 2015 3.8 L V6? The specs don’t seem to pop up online and I’m not anxious to spend $20 to join HyundaiTechInfo.

Today was a great day until my wife got home. Was laying sod in my yard and decided to move the Genesis to the other side of the driveway so the sprinkler didn't dump water on it as I watered in the sod. I moved the car and got out only to see a massive puddle of oil sitting where I had just...

So... Been a while since I posted. I took my car in to the dealership about 2 weeks ago, suspecting an oil leak. There was also a faint burning smell coming from the engine compartment that got a bit worse if I engaged in any spirited driving. I dropped the car off on Friday morning and...

I have a 2011 4.6 and am wondering when should I get an oil change. I've had the car for a little over two months, bought it at 21,200 miles and I'm now at 24,061. What I'm asking is, do these cars require oil changes every 5k miles? My old honda was every 3k. Also, would you recommend getting...

I just got my 2nd oil change on my 2014 Genesis V6. I noticed the oil was black from soot like my Diesel Mercedes. Has anyone considered running Diesel rated Mobil 1. These oils keep soot in suspension longer than traditional oil used in gas burners. Does anyone know if all conventional oil...

I checked my oil level this morning and noticed a pretty strong gasoline odor on the dip stick. The car is only 8k miles on the clock with Mobil1 5-20 (second oil change). Gasoline used is mostly top-tier 93 octane. Granted my work commute is only 6 miles round trip and I have not driven any...

Now I've had my Genesis 2015 for about 10 months, bought in the states but now being driven in its home country of Korea. I've gone a little over 5,000 miles with it. Not knowing the recommended timing for its first oil change, I went to the local dealership and was told that it's at its...

Has anyone actually confirmed what the oil capacity is on these cars? My manual say 6.02 qts but other threads in here say as little as 4.5 qts but I believe that was for the 3.8 with the oil filter at the top. Going to do an oil change tomorrow and was just wondering what the consensus was...

I noticed after I took delivery (back in October of last year) that my rear tires showed 42 PSI and my front tires showed 40 PSI via TPMS. I knew they were supposed to be around 32 PSI but never bothered to take some air out. Today I finally got around to doing so and what a difference it...

Well, as the title says, I took my car into a Franchise Hyundai Dealer on Friday for a simple oil change and they failed to tighten the drain plug properly. On Sunday night, I was rolling down the highway at 60-65 mph and I hear two knocks on the floorboard - apparently that was my drain plug...

I have about 3000km (2000 miles) on my 2015 3.8 now. I want to changeover to synth oil. I then plan on a 6 month/10000km (6500miles) oil change schedule. We take long driving trips (7500 miles +) and the car also sits (in an underground heated garage) for up to 3 months at a time. Is this...

I recently purchased a 2015 Genesis Sedan 3.6 AWD (Canadian Vehicle) and am due for my first oil change. What oil is everyone using? If going the synthetic route, I understand the dealership recommends/stocks Castrol Semi Synthetic. Historically, I have used Mobil 1 full synthetic on my...

I just emailed Saikou Michi to see if the company sells any oil catch can applications for the vehicle. I will post up updates as I receive them.

I almost fell out of my chair when I asked how much after the initial oil change and they said $93 for dino oil which means non synthetic. I guess this is the last time they see me unless it is for a recall. Only work which was done was an oil change. It's not so much the price which is crazy...

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...

going through arbitration with Hyundai over a massive engine failure. No warning lights went off until it was too late. by the time we got to dealership, there was no coolant or oil. Technician could not find any evidence of a leak. They are refusing to cover under warranty. It was only...

Can you guys give me the part number for the oem 5.0 rspec oil filter? And what sites have the best price? Free oil changes are over and it's time to do it myself.

Just a heads up, I checked my oil level this morning on my 2015 5.0 Ultimate and found it to be 1 quart low. I am hoping this is just due to the break-in of the new motor. Will monitor up to first oil change and report back if any abnormal oil consumption. I have been washing my car every...

I dumped the OEM oil at about 1800 miles for 5w-30 Mobil 1. Then changed again at about 7500 miles. Now the 3rd change at 15,000 miles. Results look good and could run the oil longer, but won't (warranty and my own caution). Not sure where the iron is coming from as I thought the block was...

I have the 2015 3.8 version Genesis and went to the parts store to look for an oil filter but in the book where you look up your car to find the correct filter, the years only go to 2014. I'm just wondering if the part number for the 2014 Genesis 3.8 will be the same as for the 2015 model.
