Also, is it a good sign that when i wiped the inside of the exhaust pipe, it came out white, no black on it?

Ok, I see what you are saying. I should have checked the dipstick immediately after the oil change, and also I checked it with a HOT engine and did not sit for 10 minutes or so. I will re do this on Saturday the proper way.

I am not following what you are saying. When I checked the oil about an hour ago, the engine was HOT and DID NOT sit for 30 minutes.

What do you mean by "where was it after the oil change"?? Yes, I switched from Super Tech full synthetic 5W-20 to Pennzoil Platinum synthetic 5W-20.

Good plan! I am guessing its NOT burning excessive oil, but better to safe. As I said the oil line is dead right in the middle between ADD and FULL, maybe even a bit more towards the FULL and im due for change in 500 miles. I religiously do 4000 OCI's with FULL synthetic.

Wow, thanks for the link! My Elantra is on the list, how disappointing! I am wondering if I closely monitor my oil consumption and always maintain the level at close to the FULL mark, will it still be an issue? Also, does it effect EVERY SINGLE car and just some?

Way only when the engine is cold?

Everything under the hood is bone dry, no leaks. I stuck a paper towel in the exhaust pipe and wiped all the way around and it came out white, NO black.

Hi, I own a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition with 75,000 on it now. The car has been flawless. My question is does the oil line on the dipstick ALWAYS has to be right at the FULL line otherwise you are burning oil? I just checked it now and its right in the middle, between ADD and FULL. I do...

Huh?

My mechanic told me if someone keeps their car long term till 200,000 plus mileage, its smart to change the coolant at around 60K, not 100K.

Hi, I own a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition, approaching 75,000 miles. The car was been great and trouble free. I was wondering exactly what is the correct mileage/years to drain and refill the coolant? I believe the manual states at 100,000. However, my dealer says every 30,000, my mechanic...

Hi, As a very general rule, typically how long do CV axles last before needing replacement? I own a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition with just 69K VERY light mileage on it. I am a very conservative driver. I checked both the CV axles and when I moved the back and forth, there is a VERY VERY...

Hi, Should throttle body cleaning be a part of good routine maintenance at around 60K for most naturally aspirated, port injected cars? I own a mint condition 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition approaching 66K and was wondering if it is beneficial to have it done at my next oil change, or just...

Thanks all... I am looking at either the Continental True Contact Tour or Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive. Both tires seem to be available in 205/55/16 H rated.

Again, to me, my Elantra is NOT loud. I never got the tires. At 60K ,still OEM Kumho's.

Compared to my 2013 and 2015 Civic EX sedans.

No thanks! My 2017 Elantra has been flawless for 60K and I consistently get 34-35MPG!

Upside down, its all the same though.
