oil

Hello, I'm preparing to change the oil on my 2010 3.8L coup. In going through the manual, it looks like the recommended oil is 5W-20, for better fuel economy. The temperature range for this oil is much wider than the other weights (ex 10W-30), which is better for where I live. My only concern is...

Hi I took the car in for its first oil change today and asked the dealer to also change the lamps for the high beams and the position lamps. As an aside, Daniel Stern recommended a 65W Osram bulb for the high beams and I asked them to install these for the position lamps...

Fellow Genesis fans, I am approaching 7500 miles and am due for my first oil change on my 2010 4.6. Question is, where should I have it done? I can either take it to the corner Jiffy Lube, take it to the dealer, or do it myself. The dealer involves making an appointment and waiting around...

I recently purchased a 2009 4.6 Genesis with Tech package with only 9,200 miles on it. This is my first Hyundai and so far love the car. I have been reading many threads about oil changes. Does anyone have a good website to purchase an OEM oil filter from. It appears that many buy them from...

I know my car calls for 5w/20, but I was thinking of going with something like 0w/20 or 30. Reason is I get a lot of start up chatter/knock. Only does it for 2 seconds or so, but its very noticable. I tried switching to Mobil 1 5w/20 but it did'nt help with the knocking at start up. Anyone try...

I asked my dealer what they charge for an oil & filter change...They said $39 with multi-grade oil and $89 with synthetic (plus tax)... A $50.00 premium for synthetic oil??...Holy cow!! Always a DIY'er at heart, I was born at night, but not last night! So am I being unreasonable or just a...

Took my 2009 Genesis 4.6 to the Hyundai dealer for an oil change. Brought 12 quarts of Mobil 1 5W-30 for their use. Checked the fill level when I returned home. Waited 5 minutes as directed in the manual. Fill level looked to be nearly one quart too high. Checked the 12 quarts and...

Is anybody else having that problem? Just bought it last night drove it home and saw in my driveway that oil was leaking from my car. :confused:

Since there's no good step-by-step yet, I decided to make one to help out the other shade tree mechanics. This is also an attempt to gather together the various info needed so we have the correct info in the correct place - if you see something missing - speak up! As far as oil changes go...

I have a new 4.6 and I heard that I am suppose to change the oil at 3,500 miles yet in the manual, all I can find is a reference to 7,500 mile service. Where did I miss this? Should I take it in at 3,500 miles?

Well everything looks great according to Black stone labs:D I like to know how my engine is wearing and it seems to be doing well "SCOTT: Universal averages show typical wear levels for Hyundai's 4.6L V-8 engine after about 3,500 miles on the oil. You ran your oil just 2,500 miles and...

Getting ready to do my first oil change on the car and get rid of the factory fill oil, and was curious as to where exactly the oil drain bolt is located underneath the car? Also do you have to remove any undercarrige covers to get to it? Thanks

Slick Thinking: new API oil standard There are broad strokes that you can take toward increased efficiency. Going that route results in expensive new technology or plucking the low-hanging fruit. The other way, of course, is to optimize everything obsessively, from wheel bearings to wiper...

Total Mileage 6820 Oil was in car for 10 months/5600 miles Mixed use city and highway. Mobil1 5W-30, replaced factory fill at 1200 miles.

Does anyone know if the Genesis engine is pre-filled with synthetic motor oil at the point of assembly? I am now approaching 1,500 miles and contemplating whether I should get an oil changed with synthetic motor oil now rather than waiting until the recommended 7,500 miles.

I own a 2010 V6 and I've noticed that my oil light comes on when I first start the car in the mornings and or if i let the car sit for a few hrs. It stays on for 1 or 2 seconds when I start it up. When the engine is warm it doesn't come on. Has anyone else encountered this problem or is it...

I was changing my oil last weekend and gathered jackstands to lift the cars four corners level. I thought why not lift just one corner enough to get the container under it. So I did. I drained most of the oil then replaced the big container with a really shallow one. I then lowered the car which...

Well, it's time for my first oil change. I going to Mobil 1 w/Hyundai filter. I'm strictly a DIY oil changer and would like any tips from those that have done this already. I've changed oil in many cars and they all have their quirks. I assume the Genesis is no different. Thanks in advance.

I'm curious as to how many people with the V6 engine are changing their own oil? I'd like to get anyones inputs on the oil stick level reading and how much oil they are putting in to fill it. This has been discussed before but the thread died and the issue has not gone away (or at least I have...
