Hyundai service writer called yesterday to schedule my first oil change. I said it only has 2,000 miles, and she says it needs 6.500 miles before they'll do the free change. I then asked about the blurb I read on Google about Hyundai putting in special break-in oil at the factory and they recommend you change it at 5,000 miles. She didn't know what I was talking about.
And the owner's manual doesn't say anything about that either. I think I will pay for a dealer change at 3,500 because I am going to keep this car for 10 years/100,000 most likely. Sorta belt and suspenders.
Also, most people's driving falls under severe duty (mine does -- mostly short trips). so the interval is 6 months or 5.000 miles. Normal duty is 12 months or 8,000 miles. CVT requires fluid change at 60k under severe duty. Not sure if it has a filter.
Also, interestingly Hyundai recommends a fuel additive every 8K miles unless you use premium fuels with detergents. Since maintenance is free for first 36 months, I wonder if the dealer will do this for free? If not I will still buy a bottle of their additive and use it or find a cheaper aftermarket alternative. I assume it's to keep the intake clean.
