2015 Genesis 3.8 L DIY oil change

[PaFromFL]

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.

I found "Oil change info 3.8 V6 in pics" at
http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.php?t=14921

and the Gen 1 torque specs at
http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.php?t=7658

The only thing missing is whether the Gen 1 3.8 L is mechanically identical to the Gen 2, even though the HP and torque ratings have changed. My local Hyundai service department thought the engines were the same, but he gave me the impression that they don't use torque wrenches. I got into the habit when my previous cars had aluminum oil pans.

The key is to use a new crush washer that is included with the OEM oil filter (crush washer is for oil drain plug). The washer is included in the G1 version of OEM filters, so I assume it is included in the G2 (2015) also.

Well I went "over the top" today with the oil change on the 3.8. Easy Pizzy!! I used a 5060 Topsider to suction out the oil and then a deli meat container under the filter. Pretty clean. Once the filter popped out I simply let the oil drian into the deli container and then suctioned it out with the Topsider before removing it from under the filter housing. This allows you to angle back out the container without spillage. I recommend smoked ham myself for added performance.

I worked from the bottom as described in
http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-gen...ad.php?t=14921
Using ramps, the job was tedious but not difficult. Compared to other cars I've worked on, it was much easier to keep the oil from making a mess.

Note that the 10 mm screws are not all identical. The oil filter cap is marked "35 Nm" which is equivalent to 26 ft-lb. The drain bolt is not marked but the Gen 1 had a torque spec of 28 ft-lb. It took about 35-40 ft-lbs to loosen the drain bolt and about 20 ft-lbs to loosen the oil filter cap (torqued at factory).

For anyone who is serious about removing their oil from the top with a Fluid Evacuator via a tube down the dipstick hole, I would recommend the Mityvac 7300 instead of hand pump unit like the Topsider. The Mityvac 7300 is attached to any air compressor (not supplied, but a small cheap one is fine) and removes a lot more oil than the hand pump units.

I can tell you this from experience because I originally owned a manual Topsider unit years ago. It removed about 90% of the oil, but not as much as an oil change via the drain plug. Using the Mityvac 7300, and moving the tube around a bit with the air compressor on, I am able to remove more oil than via the drain plug.

Just curious as to why you need the part number. If you are getting an OEM filter, you have to get it from a dealer, and they will tell you the part number.

I have found better deals on OEM filter through EBAY in the past. Several on line Hyundai dealers on the internet do not show 2015 filters for some reason.
Other searches show different OEM #

See picture in post #3 of this thread. http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showthread.php?t=14921 Part # of oil filter for 2016 V6 is 263203CKB0

I also got a batch of 5 OEM filters on Ebay for my V8 as the dealers here are crazy. Aftermarket for this does not exist due to such small demand and the dealers last time around only had 1 in stock. The V8 filters are different though.

For my 2nd gen 6 cylinder, I bought oil filters from Delray Honda's parts website, hyundaioemparts.com, part number 26320-3CKB0 for $8.07 each. They do charge for shipping, but if you order a few, it saves bucks. All their parts seem significantly discounted. I replaced a taillight for several hundred dollars less than was quoted by another dealer.

For anyone who cares, that part number (same one I got) is a kit with the filter, crush washer, etc. - all the parts you need.

Thanks for the idea - Joefuze. Really nice not to have to remove all the fairings. I used a 12 Volt Seaflo pump from eBay and relaxed while it did the work. Hyundai even gives you a nice place to clip on the electrical under the hood fuse box. As far as sucking all the used oil out, I had to add 6 quarts to get back to full on the dipstick on a 2016 3.8L Genesis AWD with filter change.

The manual on my 2015 3.8L without AWD calls for 7.29 quarts for a drain and fill including filter. Is the 2016 with AWD different?

My experience with oil extractors is that constant suction is required via a built-in or separate air compressor, and toward the end of the extraction, one has to move the tube around in the dipstick hole to make sure that one is getting all the oil. Failure to do that can lead to not removing all the oil. Doing it diligently (in my experience) will lead to extracting more oil than is obtained by removing the drain plug.

Did my first oil change on the 15 Genny, my roommate had a mightyvac which worked great, and the filter is doable from the top on a 3.8 anyway, would of been bit faster with better wrench but overall painless to do it from the top.
