Changing engine oil and oil filter Hyundai Accent MC

Changing engine oil on a Hyundai Accent

The engine is the “heart of the car”. It needs constant care and requires the use of high-quality consumables. If you take good care of your car and promptly replace necessary consumables, it will last much longer.

When to change the oil

Changing the engine oil is provided in the interval from 10,000 to 15,000 km. mileage or during the replacement interval, which is 6 months. In large metropolitan areas, these intervals are shortened and more frequent replacements are required; this is due to short trips, constant traffic jams and the engine idling; these and other factors lead to the rapid depletion of engine oil's lifespan.

It is better for a city dweller or owner of a Hyundai Accent to change the engine oil and filter after a mileage of 8-10 thousand km; the same replacement recommendations apply to residents of hilly areas or when constantly driving on dirt roads. If you own a used car with significant mileage, stick to the above intervals.

Change of oil

1. Before changing the engine oil, the car engine must be warmed up; it is better to drive it first, but you can also let it idle.

Drive the car into a pit or lift it onto a lift, turn off the engine. Unscrew the oil filler plug on the engine cover.

2. Remove the pan protection, if equipped. Prepare a container to drain the used oil, place it under the hole and unscrew the drain plug located on the pan.
3. Drain the old oil and look at its condition; there should be no metal shavings or sawdust in it. When all the oil has drained, wipe the plug dry and tighten it.
4. Move the container with the old oil under the oil filter. As a rule, it is located on the left, closer to the top edge of the engine. Hyundai Accent cars were equipped with two types of oil filters: a metal non-separable element and a replaceable element that can be replaced separately. Let's consider removing two options.
5. If the filter is screw-on, non-separable, then:
   Take the key and unscrew the filter (counterclockwise);
6. Wipe the seat on the block dry with a rag;
7. Compare the new oil filter with the old one; they should be identical in type and size;
8. Lubricate the gasket on the new filter with engine oil and screw it to the block. Wrap the filter tightly, tighten if necessary; oil should not leak through the gasket.
9. If a replacement filter element is installed:
   On the filter element housing, unscrew the bolt securing the cover and remove it;
10. Take out the replacement element and compare it with the purchased one, they should be exactly the same;
11. Wipe everything down and replace the O-rings, after lubricating them with engine oil.
12. Fill in new oil, wait ten minutes, check the oil level with a dipstick, if it is sufficient, you can tighten the filler cap.
13. Start the engine and see if the plug and filter are tightly screwed in, then you can drive the car for a while. If a leak appears, stop, turn off the engine and tighten the filter and plug.
14. Look under the hood again and check the oil level; if necessary, add it to the required level.

Good to know

If you independently choose to change the oil for a Hyundai Accent, then you need to remember the manufacturer’s recommendations and requirements for oil quality. Motor oils come in two types:

• Mineral - its viscosity will be directly affected by temperature conditions.
• Synthetic - able to work in a wide temperature range, has a uniform consistency and stable properties.

To change engine oil, you will need to know the volume required for filling. Otherwise, the oil can be underfilled or overfilled. If the oil level is insufficient, this will lead to rapid engine wear, and if you fill in too much, this can lead to squeezed out oil seals and seals. When oil is overfilled, the level of its combustion in the cylinder increases, which leads to the deposition of unburned components from the additive package on the surfaces of the particulate filter and catalyst, thereby reducing their efficiency and significantly reducing their service life. Information on the filling volume can be obtained by consulting with a specialist in a car store, when purchasing oil, by consulting with friends or discussing it on a forum on the Internet, as well as by looking in the service book of a Hyundai Accent car.

When replacing the oil filter, it is necessary to lubricate the sealing rings with clean engine oil, otherwise it will not swell and will not be pressed tightly enough to the seat, which will lead to oil leakage from under the filter. Dripping oil may contact the hot exhaust manifold pipe, which may cause a fire. In addition, when replacing the filter, drop a few drops of oil into it and, be sure, after changing the oil, let the engine run for a while, while checking the pressure and level.

When you tighten the drain plug on the oil pan, do not use too much force; if you overtighten it, you may strip the threads. Take care in advance to purchase a copper ring for the drain plug; it is disposable and must be replaced every time the drain plug is unscrewed on the pan. Otherwise, the system may become leaky or the plug may simply unscrew.

Engine oil

Any car enthusiast knows that you should not put off changing the engine oil. In the oil that has spent its life, carbon deposits, combustion products and wear of parts accumulate, additives decompose and the viscosity level decreases, which leads to rapid wear and, as a consequence, failure of the entire engine. Oil that has spent its life does not fulfill its functions of reducing friction of contacting surfaces and dissipating heat.

A clear answer to the question: “how often should the engine oil be changed?” No. There are only recommended replacement intervals, which are prescribed in service books and established by oil manufacturers, and you should pay attention to them.

The engine oil change interval for a Hyundai Accent will be influenced by its operating conditions. Everything will depend on weather and road conditions, as well as the intensity of daily loads to which the car will be subjected. The climate zone for which the car was manufactured also significantly affects the interval between oil changes.

As you know, the higher the oil quality level, the longer it will last and the less often it will require replacement. To understand when your car's engine oil needs to be changed, you should refer to the manufacturer's recommendations contained in the service book. Consider the individual conditions under which you operate your Hyundai. Do not forget about seasonal periods when it is simply necessary to change the oil, taking into account the temperature indicators of the upcoming season.

Leaks and problems

The higher the mileage of the Hyundai Accent, the more problems appear, as in principle with any car. Some motorists are beginning to complain about increased oil consumption. Others continue to use the car, citing the fact that it is normal to burn 1-2 liters from replacement to replacement.

The most common problem with increased consumption in this model is oil seals or stuck oil rings, but most likely these are the caps. Therefore, replacing them, as well as switching from synthetics to semi-synthetics, will solve the increased weight loss. Also, in some cases, if there is a problem with the caps, oil may leak into the air filter.

Some car enthusiasts observe another problem when oil appears in the spark plug wells or even on the surface of the valve cover. This indicates wear on the spark plug well sealing rings.

We order rings according to article number 2244323001 for subsequent replacement. At the same time, do not forget to order the valve cover gasket 2244126020. Since when eliminating this malfunction, the cover will need to be removed.

To change the oil in a Hyundai Accent engine, you do not need any special automotive repair skills. This photo report will show you what. As you can see, it’s quite possible to do it yourself in about 20 minutes.

Change frequency and oil volume in the Hyundai Accent engine

The answer to the question of when to change the oil is given by the Hyundai Accent repair manual - every 15,000 km. In severe conditions, this interval can be reduced to 10,000. Along with the engine oil, the oil filter is also changed.

The total volume of engine oil is 3.3 liters. Excluding oil filter - 3.0.

How to change the oil in an Accent engine

The machine itself should be placed on a pit, a lift, an overpass, or jacked up and stops installed. This is done in order to gain convenient access to the drain hole on the engine crankcase.

Next, you need to place a container under the drain hole, unscrew the drain bolt and drain the oil into the container. When doing this, be careful not to get burned. The oil will drain faster if you unscrew the oil filler cap.

While the oil is flowing out, you can begin replacing the oil filter. Next, you can see how to change the oil in a Hyundai Accent engine (2001-2005) using this instruction with photos.

Screw the new oil filter into place.

When the oil stops dripping, wipe the drain hole and tighten the bolt.

Pour new oil into the engine.

Screw on the cap and run the engine for a few minutes. Then check the oil level on the dipstick (add if necessary) and make sure there are no leaks on the drain hole and oil filter.

Replacing the filter

The timing of installation of new equipment depends on the load on the vehicle, the conditions in which it is operated, as well as the characteristics of the engine oil. The manufacturer recommends replacement every 10,000 km on city roads.

What should you take with you? In order not to complicate the replacement procedure, you should prepare the following tools and materials in advance:

• special wrench for removing the oil filter;
• a container into which old oil will be removed;
• funnel for pouring new lubricant;
• jack or find a lift at a car repair shop;
• rags for cleaning dirt;
• new oil filter.

How to perform the replacement:

• The car is placed on a lift or the car is lifted using a jack and supports are installed, observing safety precautions.

• Remove the engine protection.
• Unscrew the plug on the filler neck to reduce the oil pressure in the system.
• The waste fluid container is installed directly under the drain plug.
• Unscrew the plug and drain all the old oil.
• Use a rag to wipe the drain hole and plug and put it back in place.
• The new device is filled ½ full with oil and the O-ring is lubricated.
• The filter is installed tightly so that there are no oil leaks later.
• The system is filled with fresh motor binder and its level is measured.
• Turn on the engine for 5-10 minutes. Then check all connections for leaks.

As you can see, the procedure for changing the oil on a Hyundai Accent is not very difficult and can be successfully performed by a novice car enthusiast.

Valera, Chernushka, 35 years old: They took the car, as they say, second-hand. When we bought it, we didn’t pay attention to the filter right away, but it was a Chinese model. We suffered with oil leaks until we replaced it with Fram. Of course, we spent money, but now we don’t regret it.

Andrey, Berezniki village, 29 years old: Hyundai is not new, but I try to take all the components of good quality. I bought the oil filter from Mann. I can’t say anything bad - everything is normal. I recommend it to everyone/

Pavel, Sterlitamak, 58 years old: I have changed 3 cars in my life, but there is no need to talk about oil filters at all. The last one was Philtron. I think I'll stick with this brand.

How to change the oil in a Hyundai Accent engine: frequency, volume, step-by-step instructions

Timely maintenance will reduce the cost of machine repairs. You can change the engine oil yourself if the warranty period has expired, or contact a service station. It is important to select the appropriate mixture according to the characteristics of your vehicle.

Which liquid to choose

The manufacturer gives fairly clear recommendations on what kind of fluid to pour into the Hyundai Accent . Hyundai car manufacturer recommends using the following motor oils for cars of this family:

• Premium DPF 5w30 Hyundai/Kia article number: 05200-00620 ( for diesel engines)
• Turbo SYN Gasoline 5W-30 Hyundai/Kia synthetic motor oil
• 50 Super Extra motor oil, semi-synthetic article number: 05100 00110
• Premium LS Diesel 5W-30 Hyundai/Kia motor oil , article number: 05200-00611
• Premium LF Gasoline 5W-20 Hyundai/Kia motor oil , article number: 05100-00451

The car manufacturer Hyundai Accent does not tie engines to a specific line of mixtures and provides motorists with a choice . You can select oil on the official Hyundai website.

Determining the amount of oil to fill

The volume of oil poured into the Hyundai Accent engine is an important detail. An insufficient amount of fluid will lead to engine damage much will lead to squeezing out seals and oil seals, increasing the level of additive combustion, and reducing the efficiency of catalysts.

On average, a complete change uses about 4 liters of engine oil.

Step-by-step replacement instructions

Changing the engine oil in a Hyundai Accent should be done regularly . The official recommendation is that replacement should be carried out every 10-15 thousand kilometers, in fact, this is usually done more often . This is due to the fact that the tests take into account almost ideal conditions of climate, roads, etc. In practice, such conditions are difficult to find. The following factors influence the reduction in the service life of the mixture:

• large temperature changes;
• aggressive driving;
• vehicle overload;
• poor quality fuel;
• standing idle in traffic jams and so on.

Required Tools

You will need the following:

• Motor fluid - recommended by the manufacturer;
• Empty containers - for draining waste;
• New oil filter;
• Key head sizes 17 and 19;
• Rags.

After the preparatory work, you can begin the replacement process. The whole process is divided into several stages:

1. Drainage of waste;
2. Changing the filter;
3. Filling with new oil.

To avoid mistakes, it is necessary consistently perform all steps to change the oil in the Hyundai Accent engine.

• Place the car on an inspection hole or overpass;
• Warm up the engine;
• After unscrewing the oil filler plug, wipe it with a rag to remove dirt;
• Place an empty canister to drain the waste;
• You should drain the waste after unscrewing the drain bolt; you must be extremely careful not to get burned;

• Unscrew and install a new oil filter. Before installing it, pour oil into it and wipe the O-ring.
• Place a new sealing washer on the drain bolt and tighten. Do not over - tighten the drain bolt - you may strip the threads
• Fill with engine mixture. The required oil level can be checked using the dipstick.
• Warm up the engine and check the oil level again. If the level is insufficient, add engine fluid.

Drain plug and filter

Many car owners underestimate the importance of replacing plug . If you use an old plug, there may be a leak and, accordingly, oil consumption, which can lead to unpleasant consequences . When replacing the plug, it is imperative to install a sealing washer .

Remember, along with replacing the engine mixture, it is also necessary to change the filter.

After you have changed the engine fluid, check level 2-3 days . The presence of stains under the car indicates a violation of the seal of the oil pan. It is necessary to tighten the filter or plug.

Engine flushing

There is a common myth that you cannot flush the engine before changing the oil. Many people think that flushing residue spoils fresh oil. But the same can be said about used lubricant. After all, when replacing, approximately a fifth of the total volume remains.

So should I flush the engine or not? Depends on the circumstances. If the oil on a car is regularly changed every 5 thousand km from the moment it leaves the assembly line, then there is absolutely no need for this. After purchasing a used car and inspecting the dipstick, if the oil looks very dirty, too thick or, on the contrary, watery, it would be better for the engine to flush it before changing the lubricant.

After draining, run the engine on the flushing liquid for about 5 minutes. Then they drain it too. The procedure is repeated. Only after this is the engine filled to normal with oil. After such a replacement, it lasts a third longer.

Recommendations for changing engine oil in a Hyundai Accent engine

If the car owner promptly changes the oil in the Hyundai Accent, this will significantly extend the life of the engine, protect against serious breakdowns and prevent high repair costs. It is important not only to carry out this procedure on time, but also to select the oil itself in accordance with the operating characteristics of the car and the requirements of the Korean automaker. You can do this kind of work yourself if the car is no longer under warranty. That’s why most car owners prefer to change consumables themselves rather than seek help from a service station.

Replacement frequency

First, the driver must understand how often the oil is changed in the Hyundai Accent engine. If you rely only on the official factory manual, then there you will see figures of 10 - 15 thousand kilometers. But these are conditional indicators, since the real interval between oil changes is actually much shorter. This is due to the fact that the manual specifies parameters focused on almost ideal operating conditions, mild climate and high-quality roads. In Russia, the replacement interval becomes shorter, since the condition of the lubricant and its physical and chemical properties are influenced by the following factors:

• strong and sudden temperature changes between seasons;
• aggressive driving style;
• excessive regular load on the engine;
• use of towbar and trailer;
• long periods of idle time in traffic jams;
• poor quality of roads;
• use of low-quality fuel;
• speeding, etc.

Therefore, the actual interval between engine lubricant changes for the Hyundai Accent is about 6 - 7 thousand kilometers, or once a year. The car owner himself must monitor the condition and level of the oil, add it as necessary or change it completely. Some breakdowns or malfunctions can render the new oil unusable even after 500–1000 kilometers. Therefore, the driver is obliged to regularly monitor the serviceability of all components of the Accent. Experienced owners of Hyundai Accent cars advise, whenever possible and with very active use of the car, to change the lubricant in the engine every 6 months. This will allow the engine to work better and longer without serious problems and loss of engine life.

Oil selection

In the operating manual for the Korean brand Hyundai Accent, the manufacturer recommends filling the engine with oils that meet official requirements. The main focus of the Accent is on the viscosity of the engine oil. It is optimal that the replacement is carried out using oils that correspond to the following values:

• 5W20;
• 5W30;
• 5W40.

The manual indicates this order, so first look for 5W20, and if you cannot find such a composition, follow the list. The performance of the engine largely depends on what type of oil you choose.

Owners of cars modeled around 2005 and 2007 complain that it is difficult to find branded lubricant with a viscosity of 5W20. Therefore, you have to select something from alternative offers on the market. Although the practice of Russian car owners clearly demonstrates that oil with the 5W30 index is excellent for a Hyundai Accent car in our climate. With it, the car behaves confidently and does not suffer from temperature changes.

The manual contains a list of several well-known manufacturers of motor oils that the Korean company recommends for its Accent. These are the following brands:

• Aral;
• Mannol;
• Liqui Moly.

These lubricants are recommended for newer cars equipped with new power units. Such compositions increase oxidation resistance, have a long service life and help save fuel. Although the Accent cannot be called a car with high consumption, this is another small pleasant bonus. There are several oils that are not listed in the manual, but fully meet all the requirements for Hyundai Accent engines:

• Crypto 3 by Midland;
• Magnatec C3 from Castrol;
• Super Tronic Long Life III from Aral;
• Helix Ultra Extra from the famous Shell brand;
• High Tech SAE from Longtime;
• Elf's Solaris LSX.

By pouring such oil into the engine, you will not violate the technological standards provided by the Korean automaker. In general, the Hyundai company should be given its due, since it does not tie its engines to a strictly limited line of motor oils, but allows car owners to choose from a wide list of lubricants on the market.

Replacement instructions

Before changing the oil in a Hyundai Accent, you will need to collect a minimum set of tools and materials. The list is small, which makes it possible for car owners, even with a limited number of tools, to independently service the car and replace consumables on it. The list of required materials and tools includes:

• fresh oil in accordance with the required characteristics;
• an empty container where you will drain the used lubricant;

• new filter (or filter element);
• new drain plug;
• a pair of keys (sizes 17 and 19);
• filter puller;
• the pit where the work will be carried out;
• a carrying lamp if there is not enough natural light;
• rags;
• personal protective equipment (thick clothing, gloves, closed shoes).

When you have prepared all the necessary tools and placed them near the car, you can begin to work. The entire procedure can be roughly divided into several stages:

• removal of old motor fluid;
• filter replacement;
• filling in new oil.

Let's go through them.

Draining old oil

Follow the instructions to avoid common mistakes or take the wrong path.

1. If you just moved into the garage, you can start working right away. If the engine is cold, drive the car a couple of kilometers, or simply warm up the engine by starting it at idle speed.
2. Place the car on the pit. Few people have their own lift in their garage, but if you have one, use it to lift your car.
3. Under the hood there is a plug for filling engine oil, which needs to be unscrewed and put aside for now.
4. Let's go under our Hyundai Accent. If you have a pan guard, it will need to be removed. Work carefully, consistently and take your time. Otherwise, you can make a bunch of mistakes, break something, bend it, and so on.
5. There is a plug on the pallet for draining the waste. Before you start unscrewing it, prepare an empty container and place it directly under the drain hole.
6. Now start unscrewing the plug. It is better to use gloves, since the oil in the crankcase is hot, and if it comes into contact with the skin, it can cause serious burns. This is the most dangerous stage of the procedure.
7. It is advisable to use transparent containers for testing so that you can assess the current condition of the lubricant. The presence of chips, dirt, and dust in it indicates potential problems with the engine. If the oil has worn out ahead of schedule, has become very cloudy or darkened, it is better to further diagnose the power unit. But this is rather the task of service centers. Making a diagnosis on your own is difficult.
8. The old plug is no longer used. You will definitely need to purchase a new one. Otherwise, all the oil will leak out of the pan shortly after you hit the road. Screw on the new plug and move on to the filters.

This completes the first stage. The mistake of many is that they simply forget or simply do not know about the need to simultaneously replace the oil filter.

Filter

You will still need the container where you drained the waste, so do not remove it too far. In the case of a filter, it is important to know in advance what type of device is installed on your Hyundai Accent car. Such machines are equipped with non-separable elements or those where only the filter element itself must be replaced. First of all, place the waste container under the filter. It is located on the left, near the top edge of the engine. The container is needed to allow the oil to flow out. Proceed further depending on the type of filter used.

If you have a non-separable design, then:

1. Take a puller or a suitable size wrench to unscrew the filter. It is dismantled in a counterclockwise direction.
2. Clean the slot where the filter is inserted thoroughly with a rag.
3. Compare your two filters. The old and new must be identical, otherwise some problems may arise.
4. The new filter has a sealing gasket, which must be lubricated with fresh engine fluid.
5. Reinstall the element. Tightening by hand is usually sufficient. But the body can slip in the hands, which is why some people use the tool. The tightening should not be too strong, but even if the tension is weak, leaks will occur through the seal.

That’s it, we’ve sorted out the non-separable type of filter device. Now about the features of the replaceable element in the filter housing. They work with it like this:

• dismantle the housing itself, drain the remaining engine oil into a container;
• clean the filter seat as in the previous case;
• Now on the body, find the cover mounting bolt, you need to unscrew it and remove it;
• Inside you will find a removable, replaceable filtration element;
• make sure that the new and old components are completely identical;
• insert it into place, replace the rubber seal, screw the bolt into place and lubricate the gasket with oil;
• the housing together with the new filter element can be put in place.

Everything is clear here. Nothing complicated. The main thing is that you do not accidentally damage the housing itself or lose the mounting bolt. Even if it accidentally fell into a container with motor oil, do not rush to get it out manually. The liquid is still hot, and you don't want any extra burns. Let's move on to pouring fresh engine lubricant.

Replacing automatic transmission lubricant

The Hyundai manufacturer recommends changing the lubricant in the automatic transmission every 4 years or 60,000 km, whichever comes first. Whether a lubricant change is necessary can be determined by the method described above. Usually, towards the end of its life, the car begins to make grinding sounds, and gears are difficult to shift. A good driver will not wait for such alarming signs.

If replacing the lubricant is still necessary, you have a choice: completely drain the old lubricant and fill in new one, or drain it halfway. The second option is simpler, but in the first case you will need a hydraulic stand designed for this, which is connected to the cooling system of the automatic transmission.

You can simply drain the oil through the hole in the box from below at home, but in this case only a third of it will be removed. To completely drain all the lubricant and replace it with a new one, you will have to go to a service station.

How to change engine oil on a Hyundai Accent

To maintain normal engine operation on a Hyundai Accent, also known as TagAZ, it is necessary to periodically change the lubricant. This simple operation can be easily done with your own hands if you strictly follow the instructions and perform the necessary actions.

Stages of replacing lubricant Hyundai Accent

When changing the oil, it would be a good idea to inspect all components for leaks, so that if a leak is detected, take measures to eliminate it. The best option for replacement would be to have a hole or overpass for more convenient access to the drain holes.

Oil change instructions will be useful for owners of the following Hyundai models:

• Hyundai Accent Restyling;
• Hyundai Accent Tagaz;
• Hyundai Verna;
• Hyundai Excel;
• Hyundai Pony.

Popular engines are petrol with a volume of 1.5 and 1.3 liters, as well as a diesel version with a 1.5 liter engine. There are also models with other displacements, but more often they were sold in other markets.

We are replacing

According to the regulations, on Hyundai Accent cars manufactured by TagGAz, the oil must be changed after 10 - 15 thousand kilometers. Along with changing the lubricant, the oil filter is changed.

The frequency of replacement depends on operating conditions, the quality of the engine oil, and the driver’s driving style. When operating in urban conditions or in hilly areas, it is advisable to change the lubricant every 8-10 kilometers.

Required Tools

It is better to perform the engine oil change procedure with the engine not cooled down immediately after the trip, or start the power unit after warming it up to operating temperature. To perform the work, the vehicle must be placed on a lifting device so that the underside of the vehicle is accessible. This could be an inspection groove, a lift or an overpass. You can use a jack to lift the car and place it on supports.

Drain plug and filter

Remember, along with replacing the engine mixture, it is also necessary to change the filter

Many car owners underestimate the importance of replacing the drain plug. If you use an old plug, there may be a leak and, accordingly, oil consumption, which can lead to unpleasant consequences. When replacing the plug, it is necessary to install a sealing washer.

After you have changed the engine fluid, check the oil level after 2-3 days. The presence of stains under the car indicates a violation of the seal of the oil pan. It is necessary to tighten the filter or plug. After which the oil change can be considered complete.

Level control and required volume

It is important to know exactly how many liters need to be poured into the power unit. If the amount of lubricant is insufficient, this will lead to malfunctions in the operation of the machine’s motor. And the excess volume of liquid will cause the sealing elements and seals to be squeezed out. In addition, if there is an excess, the level of combustion of additives and lubricants in the internal combustion engine cylinders will increase. All unburned elements will eventually reduce the efficiency of the catalyst, settling on its internal surfaces. The exact volume poured into the motor is indicated in the technical manual for the machine. How much car owners pour into the internal combustion engine depends on the year of manufacture, as well as the modification of the vehicle. On average, 4.3 liters is enough to fill the engine.

The fluid level is checked on a cold engine. Open the hood of the car and find the diagnostic dipstick; it is installed in a special hole on the cylinder block. Take it out and wipe it with a rag, then put it back in and pull it out again. Ideally, the fluid level should be between the Min and Max marks.

Possible causes of oil consumption

What factors influence increased engine fluid consumption:

1. Overfilling of lubricant. This causes increased fluid consumption. The crankcase ventilation system of the internal combustion engine will begin to squeeze out excess volume from the power unit.
2. Leakage of lubricant from irregularities and areas damaged by corrosion.
3. Constant operation of the vehicle at high speeds, especially during running-in of the power unit.
4. Fluid viscosity class mismatch. If this parameter is too high, the combustion of the lubricant will occur more slowly.
5. Accelerated wear of power unit components. Oil control valves fail, and gaps may appear on the valve sleeve and stems. Piston rings, etc. wear out.

The main reason for rapid consumption is usually the loss of liquid. The greater the number of pistons in the internal combustion engine, the faster the unit will consume oil.

According to experts, one overheating of a machine motor can lead to the unit starting to eat lubricant.

One of the biggest problems is leakage. Fluid can leave the lubrication system from under the valve cover, cylinder head gasket, filler neck seal, or drain hole. Often, lubricant leaks out from under the camshaft and crankshaft seals, oil filter or oil pan gasket. Leak locations can be determined by visual diagnostics. If it was not possible to identify the cause by eye, then most likely the engine is eating lubricant as a result of wear on the piston rings or valve stem seals.

Checking the oil level in the gearbox

Before checking the lubricant level in the automatic transmission using a dipstick, you need to warm up the car. To do this you will have to travel 15-20 kilometers. Next, without turning off the engine, turn on the parking mode in the automatic transmission. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry, then check the lubricant level in the automatic transmission. If it reaches o, then everything is fine with the oil, if not, it’s time to change it.

If there is not enough fluid, air can enter the gearbox and foam the lubricant. This will lead to the fact that it will not sufficiently envelop the moving parts of the transmission, which will lead to their rapid wear and failure of the mechanism.

I changed it after 7000. But I’m half blue)

What the hell. Longer than 10, the hydraulics begin to click. I change every 7-8 thousand.

Malik, Solaris has a replacement every 15,000 according to the Shell 5w30 passport

Stas, the interval is designed for Europe, where the climate is milder, here we need to change it every 7-8 thousand, maximum 10.

Igor, I came up with it myself

Igor, maintenance every 15 thousand is done at the Hunda center

Stas, please change it once every 15 thousand, but then don’t write that your oil is running low at 100 thousand miles, or the engine is clogged.

Igor, their gasoline is also cleaner, which is also an important role))) I also don’t understand how you can drive more than 10 miles on oil, it turns into black water and loses all its properties

Igor, forget about him. let it sit in traffic jams, warm it up in the winter for half an hour until the windshield thaws, and only change it after the number 15000 has been rolled in. It makes no difference to a person whether on the highway or in the city. managers at the dealer said 15 means 15 t.km. here it is indistinguishable.

This is a budget car, not a capricious BMW

Vladimir, with such an attitude the car will not last long.

Stas, I change the turbo on the Audi every 7 thousand, the accent also so as not to get lost, the same mileage. You can drive 8-10 thousand with an accent. And there are no problems

Mde.. victims of car dealerships)) 15000))) maybe 25000 then

Why change it at all? Ride without replacement! Fill it with the right oil (since you won’t find a fake horseradish) and go for a ride!

Ultra good oil, maybe it will last 15 thousand, but then you still need to look at what operating conditions you personally have, if you have traffic jams like in Moscow, for example, then no more than 7500 km, a lot depends on what, and the officials and other sellers don’t give a damn about your dizhok.

Ildar, let me correct you a little - I didn’t buy a motor, but a new car))) 5-7 years and come to us for a new car.

As it is written in the book, I change it after 9 - 10 thousand

Hmmm... 10 thousand is a normal interval, 7-8 is the earliest when you can change the oil, do not forget that motor oil also has a “break-in” period when it comes into working condition - this is somewhere around 1500-2000 km. And regarding the oil change at 15 tyr, I’ll say this, before my eyes there are two second tricks where the oil is changed according to the regulations every 20,000; the real mileage of the wallpaper is already over 400,000. And there are no problems with the engine.

the guy lied to you... better every 7-8 thousand. The synth starts working after 4-5 thousand. and when the speedometer shows +15,000km, then in fact the whole 20,000-23,000km of standing in a traffic jam is also considered...

Which liquid to choose

The manufacturer gives fairly clear recommendations on what fluid to pour into the Hyundai Accent engine. The Hyundai car manufacturer recommends using the following motor oils for cars of this family:

• 5w30: Premium DPF,
• Turbo SYN
• 50 Super Extra
• Premium LS,
• 5w20: Premium.

The composition of these mixtures allows you to increase the service life of the engine and reduce fuel consumption.

The Hyundai Accent manufacturer does not tie engines to a specific line of mixtures and provides motorists with a choice.

Which oil filter is best for this car?

The purpose of the oil filter is to trap abrasive particles that are formed during engine operation and, when they enter the engine oil, increase wear on the parts of the power unit. The oil filter has to be changed more often than other consumables. The service life of the oil and the technical condition of the engine depend on its condition.

All modern oil filters have the same design and differ in the materials used and manufacturing technology. At the moment, there are two types of oil filters: assembled and insert filter. The first type consists of a filter element, a metal housing, a spring, valves, etc.

The second type is cheaper, less harmful to the environment and easy to change.

The main element of any filter is the filter element. In quality products, the filter material is a mixture of cellulose, synthetic fibers and other materials that provide the best cleaning of the lubricant and work at different operating temperatures.

When choosing an oil filter for a Hyundai Accent, whether it was produced at TagAZ or another plant, you need to take into account the design of the oil filter, the material of the filter element, the quality of lubricant cleaning and service life depend on this.

New consumables for Hyundai Accent

Changing the lubricant yourself

You can replace consumables yourself, without involving specialists.

Tools and materials

What you will need to complete the task:

• fresh motor fluid;
• filter device;
• drain plug with o-ring;
• wrenches 17 and 19;
• special tool for removing the oil filter;
• set of star keys.

You can learn more about replacing consumables and filter devices from the video made by user Andrey Florida.

Stages of work

Changing the working fluid in the Hyundai Accent power unit is done as follows:

1. Warm up the car engine. When the power unit reaches operating temperature, the viscosity characteristics of the lubricant decrease. The consumable material becomes more liquid, which allows you to drain it from the engine without any problems.
2. Drive the Hyundai Accent into a garage with a pit or onto an overpass. Stop the engine and give it about 15 minutes to cool down.
3. Reach under the car and locate the drain plug. Waste liquid will come out of it. Place a container under the plug into which the waste will be drained. This could be an old bucket, basin or cut-off bottle. If the car is equipped with a sump guard, it must be removed; to do this, unscrew all the bolts that secure it.
4. Unscrew the drain plug and wait until all consumables have left the system.
5. Assess the condition of the drained consumable fluid. If there is serious contamination and deposits, as well as wear products, it is recommended to flush the power unit. For cleaning you will need a special product. This oil can be purchased at any auto store. Tighten the drain plug and pour flushing agent through the filler neck, then start the engine and let it run. The time that the engine should run is indicated on the oil label. Drain the flushing agent from the lubrication system after cleaning.
6. Install a new plug into the drain hole with a rubber seal.
7. Before adding new fluid to the lubrication system, the filter device must be changed. The Hyundai Accent can use two types of parts - replaceable and non-sectional steel. Replacement filters are removed by unscrewing the screw located on the device body. When removing, it is recommended to visually inspect the replacement components. As for non-separable filters, they are unscrewed counterclockwise using a wrench. Remove the old part by unscrewing it counterclockwise. If problems arise during dismantling, use a special puller for removal. This device is sold in any store. If you don't have a tool, you can use a piece of a bicycle chain and wrap it around the filter housing. Alternatively, pierce the device with a screwdriver in a place closer to the bottom, away from the threads, so as not to damage the engine components. The tool will be used as a lever. Before installing a new filter, pour about 100-1500 grams of fresh oil into it and lubricate the rubber band near the threads. Install the filter device, but do not overtighten it.
8. Unscrew the filler plug and pour fresh lubricant into the system. It is convenient to use a funnel to add liquid to the power unit. Fill in the required volume of consumables, regularly monitoring the fluid level in the lubrication system using a dipstick. After filling, start the car engine for a few minutes and let it idle. Stop the engine and check the lubricant level again. Add oil if necessary. Reinstall the engine oil pan protection.

If the car owner visits the Hyundai Accent in a timely manner, this will significantly extend the life of the engine, protect against serious breakdowns and prevent high repair costs. It is important not only to carry out this procedure on time, but also to select the oil itself in accordance with the operating characteristics of the car and the requirements of the Korean automaker. You can do this kind of work yourself if the car is no longer under warranty. That’s why most car owners prefer not to seek help from a service station.

The engine oil in your Hyundai Accent should be changed regularly.

How often does it need to be replaced?

In Hyundai Accent TagAZ 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2013 and other years of production, according to the recommendations of the manufacturer, the lubricant must be changed after a mileage of 12-15 thousand kilometers. In fact, domestic experts recommend replacing the fluid in a car engine at least every 6-10 thousand km.

There are a number of factors as a result of which the liquid loses its performance characteristics:

• seasonality of machine use, taking into account temperature changes at different times of the year;
• driving style - aggressive or gentle;
• the volume of loads placed on the engine;
• duration of operation of the power unit in traffic jams;
• quality of road surface;
• volume of the power unit;
• engine number, as well as its year of production.

These factors can reduce the service life of the motor fluid, regardless of the mileage of the car. If the power unit operates under intense conditions, then experts advise changing the oil every six months

And a little about the author’s secrets

My life is not only connected with cars, but with repairs and maintenance. But I also have hobbies like all men. My hobby is fishing.

I started a personal blog in which I share my experience. I try a lot of things, different methods and methods to increase my catch. If interested, you can read it. Nothing extra, just my personal experience.

Attention, TODAY only!

Engine oil

must be replaced every 10,000 km.
For a new car, it is necessary to change the oil after the break-in period (after 2500 km). When changing the oil, you must install a new oil filter (ZMZ-4062 engine) or its filter element (all engines). the oil change procedure , see subsections 2.3.2
,
2.3.2.2
and
2.3.3.3
.

Into the engine crankcase

It is recommended to fill in the same brand of oil as was in the engine. If you fill in oil of a different brand, you must first flush the engine lubrication system with oil of the same brand that will be poured into the engine. To do this, drain the old oil and fill in new oil 2–4 mm above the “0” mark on the oil level indicator (dipstick). Start the engine and let it idle for about 10 minutes. Then drain the oil, replace the oil filter or its filter element and add fresh oil.

Coolant

must be changed once every 2 years or after 60,000 km (whichever comes first).
For the procedure for replacing coolant, see subsection 2.4.4
. It should be borne in mind that the coolant is poisonous, so you should not suck it into your mouth when pouring it. When working with coolant, it is recommended to use safety glasses and not to smoke or eat. If the liquid gets on exposed skin, wash it with soap and water.

Gearbox oil

must be replaced after 60,000 km.
the oil change procedure , see subsections 3.3.2
and
3.4.2
. Every 20,000 km, you need to check the oil level in the gearbox and top up if necessary. The oil level in the crankcase should reach the edge of the filler hole. If the drained oil contains metal particles or is very dirty, the box should be washed. To do this, pour 0.9 liters of fresh oil into its crankcase. Raise the rear of the car with a jack. Start the engine and, engaging first gear, let it run for 2-3 minutes. Then drain the oil and refill with fresh oil. When checking the oil level, you need to clean the surface of the breather from dirt and turn its cap several times to remove any dirt trapped under it.

Oil in the rear axle housing

must be changed after 60,000 km.
The oil is changed in the same way as in a gearbox. After 20,000 km, you need to check the oil level in the crankcase and top up if necessary. The oil level should reach the edge of the filler hole. When checking the oil level, you need to clean the breather from dirt in the same way as you did for the gearbox. Warning:
Do not reuse drained brake fluid.

Brake fluid

In clutch and brake drives, they must be changed once every 2 years, regardless of the vehicle’s mileage.
Clutch and brake drives use domestically produced brake fluids “Rosa”, “Rosa-3”, “Tom”, “Neva” or their foreign analogues on a non-petroleum basis, the quality level of which is not lower than DOT-3. The use of other brands of fluids, especially petroleum-based fluids, is prohibited
.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, so it should not be stored in open containers.

The procedure for replacing brake fluid is as follows:

1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir cap.

2. Remove the rubber protective caps from the air release valves on the wheel cylinders and place rubber hoses on the valves, the ends of which are lowered into glass containers.

3. Unscrew the valves no more than one turn and, pressing the brake pedal all the way, drain the fluid. As soon as liquid stops flowing out of the hoses, tighten the air release valves.

4. Pour the drained brake fluid out of the vessels and put them in place.

5. Pour fresh fluid into the master cylinder reservoir, unscrew all air release valves one turn and, pressing the brake pedal all the way, fill the brake system. In this case, you need to constantly add fluid to the master cylinder reservoir. After clean brake fluid begins to flow out of the hoses placed on the air release valves, tighten the valves.

6. Bleed the brake system to remove air from it ( see subsection 6.9

).

7. Close the brake master cylinder reservoir with a plug. Remove the hoses from the air release valves and put protective caps on them.

The fluid in the clutch hydraulic drive is replaced in the same way.

Changing engine oil is an indispensable component of any maintenance. When leaving the car at the station, the driver completely relies on the professionalism of the service workers, including in the matter of choosing a lubricant, but sooner or later the driver himself will have to face this choice. Let's consider the recommendations of the Hyundai Accent manufacturer.
