Hi, The oil dillution issues with Civics, does that include the base LX trim also, with NON tubro and port injection, or just the 2.0 engines in higher trims? I am particularly interested in a 2020 Civic sedan, LX trim. Thanks

Ok, my Elantra will be 3 years old in April 2020. I will do the service than. Interestingly though, Hyundai DOES NOT show a recommend service interval for brake fluid flush.

Hi, I was wondering if a brake fluid flush is considering smart basic preventative maintenance every 3 years or 36,000 miles? I own a MINT condition 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition. I plan on owning the car VERY long term, hopefully to 200K miles or so. The 2017 Elantras are disc in front...

House Tiger, That's promising than.

Really got to wonder if a 2019 Honda Accord will REALLY go to 200K WITHOUT major repairs and expenses.

Hi, With the trend for car makers to sell cars with ALL 3 of these....GDI, CVT and turbo be a troubling long term issue with major expensive repair bills that the average consumer is really not aware of yet? I really wonder about cars like the new Civic and Accord, for example, both with all 3...

I dont get it... So why does the manual CLEARLY state, or other "approved" fluids?? Evidently, Hyundai has approved other fluids, so again, what are they??

Does anyone here know if Vavoline MaxLife ATF is one of the Hyundai approved fluids to use instead of SPIV? The owners manual states to use SPIV, OR the other Hyundai "approved" fluids. But they dont state which other brands are "approved"!

Again, DIY is NOT gonna happen! I never worked on a car in my life and have no intention of messing this up!

If I was to purchase the SPIV fluid myself at the dealer, EXACTLY how many quarts?? I can't seem to find that information anywhere!

DIY is NOT gonna happen, so its either independent shop or a dealer.

Hi, I decided I WILL have the ATF changed in my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition with SP4 30K. However, if I take it to one of the several well respected independent shops in my area, how do I know for sure the drain and refill was actually done and done correctly since, with NO dispstick...

Thanks everyone, im leaning towards changing it at 30K for both peace of mind and my intention to keep the car a long time, 150K or more miles. Interestingly though, I called my local dealer to check price and was told by service manager that I would be"wasting my money" by changing at 30K. He...

That's why you don't buy a Theta II (like me) grin2. No regrets at all with my 1.8L. Thanks, what is a "Theta II"??

Hi, Quickly approaching 30K on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition that has run flawlessly so far. Should I replace the transmission fluid at 30K, or just wait till 60K to replace, as the manual requires? I ask this before my driving is rarely highway. I drive in the suburbs of central NJ, so...

I own a 2017 Hyundai ELantra Value Edition, with rear drum brakes. Are the rears self adjusting? I heard using the parking park a lot adjusts the breaks and going in reverse and tapping the brake pedal adjust too. Any truth to that, or shouldt hey be manually adjusted by a mechanic every 30K or...

Hi, Im looking to replace the engine air filter in my 2017 Hyundai Elantra VE 2.0. Are engine air filters pretty much all the same quality? Is there really one brand far superior than other, or all the same quality? Just go to Wal Mart, pick one and be done with it? Thanks Michael

It will probably be closer to 5,800 when its changed this week with QSUD 5W-20.

Hi, With my 2017 Elantra Value Edition with 27,000 miles, is 6000 miles a bit to long to go on Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 if I am doing a lot of short trips? Just wondering. I am planing on doing oil change next with and this time using Quaker State UD 5W-20? Thanks

56 years old and NEVER had a car payment in my life....and NEVER will. I currently drive a MINT condition 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition, paid cash. Remember, one NEVER gets rich with constant car payments!
