Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance item for your Hyundai's engine. At GSR Garage in Telford, we perform oil changes on all Hyundai models and see first-hand the damage caused by neglected oil changes.

However, if your Hyundai is used for stop-start driving, towing, or carrying heavy loads — common in commercial use — more frequent changes are advisable. engine seizure on Theta II GDI engines (recall) is directly linked to oil degradation and missed changes. Using the correct oil specification is critical for Hyundai engines. Modern Hyundai diesel engines with DPF require low-ash oil (C1 or C2 specification) to prevent DPF blockage. Using the wrong oil can cause DPF blockage on CRDi diesel models and damage the exhaust after-treatment system. rear suspension spring breakage on Santa Fe can also result from incorrect oil specification. When we change the oil on a Hyundai, we always replace the oil filter and sump plug washer. We dispose of the old oil responsibly and note the service in your vehicle's history. exhaust gas temperature sensor faults can sometimes be resolved with a simple oil change if caught early enough.
