  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I changed the oil myself. The under engine cover has 12 - 10 mm bolts.
It needs to be removed. The drain pan plug is hex head, 17 mm.
The engine oil filter housing cover is 27 mm and is plastic like, it has a spring clips that hold the socket on.
Oil squirts to the rear from the drain pan, 7.5 quarts or so, collection pan needs to be able to hold it all.
My steps were;
1. Remove the under engine cover, 12 bolts.
2. Remove the oil filter cover, catch a little oil here in a pan, remove the old filter from the cover.
3. Remove the old rubber band gasket seal on the housing cover, install the new gasket.
4. Re-install the new oil filter into the housing cover and tighten the housing cover back onto the filter assembly on the engine.
5. Remove the drain plug, 17 mm, hex head, tight fit here for socket and ratchet, I used a combo box/open end wrench.
6. Catch all 7.5 quarts or so of oil.
7. Remove old crush washer on the drain plug, install new crush washer on the drain plug.
8. Re-install drain plug.
9. Fill with oil at the fill fitting on top of the engine.
10. Re-install under engine cover.
11. Start engine, check for warning lights, beeps etc.
I raised the front a little with two scissor jacks to help with reaching the engine cover bolts, filter, drain etc.
Be sure to locate the lift points on each side behind the front wheels.
I got my filter at Hyundai, a little pricey.
It came with: filter, crush washer, big rubber band gasket, two o-ring type of gaskets.
I used all but the two o-rings, I could not tell where these were to be installed. Anybody know where they are used?
See pictures....

Welcome, and Thank You for the great write-up @change741! Those 2 small washers aren't needed AFAIK.

Wish the undercover had a small opening for the drain plug and filter. This is why I don't like to do my own.

There is a drain plug hole, but the filter is above the under cover. And the draining oil probably squirts 6 inches horizontal at first. Good to know about the o-rings.
 
So you're saying you'll come over and help me change my oil? :P

Well, California is beautiful (per your info), but very far away. See picture of the 2014 oil filter box.
