60k "Real" Service

[Cloud_1]

Hello all I purchased a 2015 DH AWD back in October with 54750 miles on it. I am now coming up on 60k and would like to know what I should be doing for servicing at that point. I replaced the stock air filter with the K&N when I got it, and recently replaced the cabin filter. I also have changed the oil. Thanks for any tips.

Transmission oil drain and replace (no flushing)
Replace Serpentine Belt and Tensioner if necessary
Check fluid in rear differential and replace if necessary (normal interval is 80,000miles)
Check the coolant and brake fluid with those fluid sticks...replace if necessary
Lube up the doors, windows and moonroof (I use WD40-silicone on the first two and Krytox 205 on the moonroof)
Clean out drain plugs on doors and moonroof
Check for broken lines and rubber hoses under hood

When replacing radiator fluid, I always replace radiator cap as preventative
If the thermostat is good, replace it and the water pump at 120,000 miles
Replace gas cap at 120,000 miles as a preventative (gaskets fail leading to CEL)
Replace Serpentine Belt and Tensioner at 120,000 miles, at the latest

Where is this from, Hyundai? I do not see any transmission fluid drain/replace.

It is a part of Severe Service. I always tell people to do it as a preventative. Anyone see a transmission dipstick on their Genesis??

Look at the severe service schedule. It usually indicates a transmission fluid change at 60K miles. Most people's driving does count as severe if you look at how they define it.

Interesting, thanks! Will have to take a close look at the severe schedule I, just hit 63k this year.

AFAIK, very few cars have had transmission dipsticks for the last 20+ years. Level is usually checked by removing a plug that is at fill level. If a little fluid dribbles out, then it is correctly filled.

Correct, which rquires a lot of effort. Hence why I recommend the 60,000 mile interval. Not sure why the Diff has an 80,000 mile change. I'm doing mine at 60,000 miles with the transmission.

At 63K with today's transmissions and fluids for a street car I would not sweat the transmission. No combustion byproducts running around in there. If you owned a truck without a tow package and towed heavy loads in the South in the summer, maybe then.

While Hyundai is getting better over the years building its own engine and transmissions, they still aren't the Japanese. I highly recommend following the 60,000 mile interval for maintenancing the transmission. Service is cheap compared to replacing a transmission.
