*2: Engine oils labeled Energy Conserving Oil are now available. Along with other additional benefits, they
contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel necessary to overcome engine friction. Often,
these improvements are difficult to measure in everyday driving, but in a year's time, they can offer significant
cost and energy savings.
*3: If the transfer case/rear differential is submerged, visit an authorized HYUNDAI genuine products to replace the
differential oil.
*4: To maintain the best braking performance and ABS/ESC performance, use genuine brake fluid that conform to
specifications.
*5: Requires <API SN PLUS (or above) Full synthetic> grade engine oil. If a lower grade engine oil (mineral oil
including semi-synthetic) is used, then the engine oil and engine oil filter must be replaced as indicated severe
maintenance condition.

NOTICE
Always be sure to clean the area around any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick before
checking or draining any lubricant. This is especially important in dusty or sandy areas
and when the vehicle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning the plug and dipstick areas
will prevent dirt and grit from entering the engine and other mechanisms that could be
damaged.
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operating
(engine start and engine oil flow ability). Typically, lower viscosity engine oils can provide
better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however, higher viscosity engine oils
are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Using oils of any viscosity other
than those recommended could result in engine damage. For these engines, only use
0W-20 weight engine oil.
Never add any additives to the engine oil. Engine oil additives can change the properties
of engine oil and may cause serious engine failure.
