Hi, I am ready for my second oil change on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE with 8,300 miles. First change was free at dealer which I did at around 3000 miles. Should I just use any 5W-20 synthetic blend oil or go with a full synthetic? I do plan on keeping the car long term, 10 + years or so. Also...

This is why I am glad I brought my 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE Value Edition.....naturally aspirated engine, multi port injection. NO direct injection, traditional 6 speed auto trans, NO CVT and NO turbo!

I can imagine taking my 2017 Elantra to the dealer with ONLY 10K and ask for ATF change! They probably would laugh or tell you I am wasting my money!

10,0000 miles?? Seems like way overkill to me and a waste of money.

Hi, I own a 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE Value Edition with just 2800 miles. Just thinking ahead of course, when should the automatic transmission fluid be changed? I know the new models no longer have an ATF dipstick and supposedly its a "sealed system" that is maintenance free. But I feel uneasy...

Sounds good, guys...thanks. Just for the fun of it, I will try 5W-30 for my first oil change which I think I will do at around 3000 miles, than do 6000 OCI.

Recently purchased a new 2017 Elantra SE Value Edition. I plan to keep this care very long term...10-12 years or so. I drive about 12,000 a yearly, mainly in the suburbs of Central NJ. Hyundai calls for EITHER 5W-20 or 5W-30 in owner's manual. Although the oil change is mark 5W-20. Would using a...

NO! NOT Pennzoil, Hyundai recommends Quaker State.

Owner's manual recommends QS 5W-20.

Hi, I have a new 2017 Hyundai ELantra SE Value Edition, currently with 1600 miles. I am thinking of dumping the factory fill a bit early around 2000 miles. Would this new Atkinson engine really benefit from a full 5W-20 synthetic like PP, or just use a top quality 5W-20 synthetic blend?? I plan...

Hi, I own a 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition that I purchased 5 weeks ago, which I love. I currently have 1450 miles on it and was wondering if there is any REAL benefit to dumping the factory oil now and refilling? I always hear and read about the so called "metal shavings" in new factory...

My New 2017 Elantra SE Value Edition in "Mineral Beige" I really dont know why Hyundai calls this color beige. To my eyes, it more like silverstone or bone. I know this color isnt everybody's taste, but I think it looks kinda elegant.

Im gonna give the Elantra another shot with a more extensive test drive this week. I am thinking that the car I tested may have had dramatically overinflated tires, thus the kinda harsher ride. The 2017 Elantra is NOT known for harsh ride, so im thinking that may be the issue.

I love the both the exterior and interior of the Elantra just a bit more than the Civic, its just a shame that the Elantra suspension is slight a bit harsh. The difference, to me, is night and day compared to the Civic LX.

In the Central NJ area, for every 17 Elantra I see (which is NOT MANY), I see 10 16/17 Civics! They are ALL over the place here! Any idea why 2017 Elantra sales have been so abysmal??

Big Buck, I see VERY little teenagers driving the new Civic, mostly 30-50 year olds. VW GIT I see younger! My 77 year old neighbor has a 2016 Civic LX!

duck, Not me! I think those alloys are WAY too busy looking! Give me a headache just looking at them! IF I go with the LX trim, I will probably replace steel wheels with a more conservative style alloy.

sky, Yes, I would say the Cruze. Sorry, just cant get past their HORRENDOUS reliability record!

GM Boy.... Yes i have, but as im sure you know, the reliability of the Cruze and Focus have been ROCK BOTTOM from almost the first model year! NO THANKS to either of them! Although, I will say, the new Cruze is a sweet ride!
