    Just completed first oil change

    Changed the oil today. Had to remove about 10 screws from the front and aft covers under the engine to gain access to filter. Hyundai should design an access panel under filter area. Anyway, used Mobil 1 5w-20 (had great luck with this oil on 2003 Honda Accord v-6, 170,000 miles when traded)...

    Crushed oil filter

    This is the 2nd time I have removed the oil filter from my 2010 4.6 and it was crushed. One side of the filter is caved in and torn. Any idea what could cause this? I was very careful when replacing the filter cartridge. Anyone else seen or heard of this?

    Oil change in 5.0 R spec

    I'm an old guy so my experience with new cars goes back many years and into periods when manufacturing techniques were less quality than today, bujt I still do it because hey, its can't hurt. However..... I still avoid hard acceleration and braking and constant speeds for the first 1000 miles...

    Portable Device which tests oil contamination

    I saw this on Autoblog; Lubricheck is a $39.95 device which tests a drop of your oil and tells you how contaminated it is (translation: lets you know when you need an oil change). It looks interesting. It would be nice if this were OE (as I believe something similar is on BMWs).

    2012 R-Spec Oil Consumption

    I was hearing some valve or knocking noises coming from my engine, so I brought my car in. My dealer told me I was down 3 quarts of oil!!! My last oil change was at 16,500mi and I now had 21,500mi, or 5000 miles of driving. I have been doing oil changes every 4000-5000miles. I asked, how can...

    Leaking oil filter cap?

    I have a '12 with a 3.8 with 12k miles. Has anyone had any problem getting the oil filter cap to seal completely. On my initial 6500 mile oil change I noticed a minor leak. I tightened the cap a bit more and it sealed. Last week-I changed oil and filter at 12k miles and noticed a spot...

    2013 genesis sedan 3.8 oil filter

    Hello everybody, I just changed oil on my 2013 genesis 3.8 V6. When I ordered an oil filter for my car, the dealer sold me a filter with 26330-3C250 part number written on the top of the filter. When I took out the old oil filter, I noticed that it looked little different, it says 26330-3C300...

    2013 Oil Change

    Went to change the oil today on my 2013, and there is an extra plastic belly pan under the trans. My 2012 did not have this. I had to loosen the pan (2 10mm bolts) to allow the mid section to slide out giving me access to the oil pan and filter. Not sure if anyone has had this or maybe my...

    Oil Life Monitor

    It's too late now (I would have ordered anyway), but doesn't the Genesis have a oil life monitor like 10 year-old US cars??

    Oil Consumption in '12 R-Spec

    I purchased a 2012 R-Spec (Titanium/Black for you nuts who care) this summer. I love the car, and find it a fantastic value for what you get. I baby my car. I followed the optional break-in procedure to the letter. I'm meticulous with checking fluids, maintenance task, and tracking. I've...

    Cost of Oil Changes

    We recently heard about how many miles owners are changing oil at, how about prices? I used to pay $19.95 for an oil and filter change but today it came to $40.84 or double the previous amount. The dealer I have been using was bought out by a Ford/Dodge dealer a couple of weeks ago and all...

    Oil change timing....3,700 or 5,000 miles??

    Manual says change it at 3,700 and when I received my car, the dealer sales rep that you can do it at 5,000. What are most Genesis drivers following? Also, how often are you rotating the Michelin tires? Love the car, but only have 1,800 miles so far.

    oil change indicator light or warning

    Nothing in the manual seems to say how to reset your odometer to provide an indicator or light or message that declares it's time for an oil change. I've seen the question asked on other threads, but the answers did not seem very definitive. An old Buick had a button in the glove compartment...

    Oil filter/engine damage and warranty coverage

    I currently own a 2009 Hyundai Genesis sedan which I had been very happy with until recently. Two weeks ago the check engine light and check oil pressure light began coming on intermittently. I brought the car to the dealer for service. The dealer told me that there is damage to the lower...
