Hyundai owners generally want to keep their vehicles in the same pristine condition as when they were first purchased. If you’re one of those people, don’t worry—you’re far from being alone. In this blog, we’re going to explore a few of the top maintenance actions that can extend the beauty and longevity of your vehicle.
Thankfully, a person doesn’t have to be a mechanic before they get an understanding of the way an engine works. It’s also not necessary to have that kind of skill or knowledge to address flashing fault lights on a dashboard. A good rule of thumb is to teach yourself the basics of automobile care in order to identify, track, and solve issues as they come about.
There is a point during the life of a car when most people should consider having the oil changed. Keeping the oil as clean as possible can give the car a smoother, safer ride. Many people tend to put oil changes off until the dirty oil creates a major issue with the performance of the vehicle overall. Debris accumulating can lead to accelerated wear and tear alongside issues with overheating.
Hyundai vehicles experience multiple potential issues when they overheat, such as warning lights and difficulty moving. Those are clear symptoms that should not be ignored. The moment things seem to be heating up, make sure to turn off non-essential systems, allowing the car to rest.
A good example of this is to idle the vehicle after a long day, allowing the fluids to move. Another good tip to this end is turning off the air conditioner and rolling the windows down instead.
Hyundai recently rolled out a feature in some of their models that will alert you on the dashboard when tire pressure is getting lower at a concerning rate. If you have this feature, don’t ignore the warning. Maintaining proper tire pressure is an important part of car maintenance.
A good rule is to have a regular maintenance routine that involves checking the efficiency of your lights during times when the skies are clear. The last thing that should happen is for a test to be run during a night that’s already stormy and particularly dark.
When it’s a regular part of maintenance, there’s enough time for busted fuses or broken bulbs to be replaced before the lights are actually needed. Run a check on all of the lights, including:
A certified Hyundai mechanic can tell you if the most obvious solution is indeed the right one. Fuel efficiency not being where it should be, for example, may not actually be a problem found under the hood. Poorly inflated tires might be the actual issue, leading mileage to reduce unnecessarily.
Maintenance is crucial for all cars; Hyundai owners are no different. There are a handful of necessary tips that should be taken into account to that end. This includes thinking outside the box and investing in oil changes.

What is a serpentine belt? Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a serpentine belt, also known as a drive belt. Serpentine belts have replaced other types of belts because a single belt is more compact, less expensive to replace and simpler to install compared to multiple belts. By “snaking” around the various pulleys, both sides of a serpentine belt can grip and be used to drive components in the...
