A timely oil change in the Hyundai Accent engine is one of the most important procedures during the next MOT. In such situations, drivers each time strive to find answers to the question of increased problematicity: "What kind of oil is better to fill in the engine?" There are several possible answers. To make a final and correct decision, you need to carefully understand many of the subtleties.

Primary Factors Affecting Oil Selection

In most cases, the manufacturer provides accurate recommendations on which oil is needed for Hyundai accent... The list of products that are optimally suited for the engines of a particular car brand contains the instruction manuals. According to these materials, it is better to fill in the engines of Hyundai Accent cars with a lubricant with viscosity indices 5W30 and 5W40. When the engine reaches the 200,000 km mark, then in special cases oil will do 10W40.

Factory instructions relate to a specific vehicle and are recorded in the owner's manual. However, in real conditions it is not always possible to strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions. Often there is a need to correct the data and to independently solve the difficult question of which oil to pour into the power unit of the car.

When choosing engine oil for filling into a Hyundai Accent engine, you will have to take into account a number of important indicators. These include:

It is advisable not to take these parameters into account separately, but to apply them in a complex manner.

Compliance with regulatory parameters

During operation of a Hyundai car, it is necessary to strictly monitor the level of lubricant in the engine. As the oil decreases, it is necessary to restore its level by topping up. However, within the established regulatory time frame, it will be required complete replacement used grease for a new one.

Carrying out this operation can be entrusted to the masters of the car service. Then they will be able to advise whether it is time to change the lubricant and what kind of oil to pour into the power unit. As a rule, several options are offered in such situations. The final choice will have to be made by the motorist on his own. More experienced car owners can do their own replacement.

In any case, it is important to know that a new lubricant must be poured into the engine every 6000–7000 km.The manufacturer's manuals flaunt with slightly different numbers: 10,000-15,000 km. But you also have to take into account the factors due to which the oil loses its working properties. These include:

• seasonality of Hyundai operation, taking into account temperature differences;
• driving style;
• the degree of daily engine loads;
• the duration of the motor during traffic jams;
• the quality of the road surface on which the car predominantly moves.

These reasons can bring the time of the next oil change closer, despite the mileage of the car. With intensive engine operation, it would be good to change lubricant every 6 months.

When changing the oil in Hyundai Accent, it is recommended to use products with the following viscosity coefficients: 5W20, 5W30, 5W40. The manufacturer insists on exactly this order of search for oils. Each subsequent substance from this list can be used in the absence of the previous one.

Many motorists often complain that it can be very difficult to get a branded oil product with a viscosity index of 5W20. Then it is appropriate to remember that golden mean closest to the truth. The manufacturer himself gives the oil with a viscosity index of 5W30 second place. Members of the forum with experience admit that a lubricant with such indicators works perfectly in the domestic temperature range.

Driving style also affects the selection of the correct oil.Measured and quiet ride allows the use of Leichtauf Special LL SAE 5w-30 with good antifriction properties. Lubricating fluid confidently resists oxidation, contributes to fuel economy.

Active driving with elements of sporting excitement is better combined with the addition of antifriction and protective additive CeraTec. The substance was made according to the technology based on molybdenum compounds with an added ceramic component. The engine is provided with reliable protection under intense and abrupt loads.

The manufacturer recommends Aral branded lubricants, Liqui moly, Mannol. These engine oils are better suited for more modern power units... Lubricating products of these brands increase the oxidation resistance of the base oil, have an increased service life until the next replacement, and help save fuel.

The use of the marked lubricants does not violate the technological standards established by the car manufacturer. The wide range of oils to choose from is a testament to the understanding of the concerns of motorists. The manufacturer's democratic concern is manifested through giving customers the right to choose. The main thing is that preferences are realized on the basis of certain knowledge and specific needs.

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

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

Coolant must be changed once every 2 years or after 60,000 km (whichever comes first). Coolant replacement procedure see subsection 2.4.4... It should be borne in mind that the coolant is poisonous, so it should not be sucked in by mouth when transfusing. When working with coolant, it is recommended to wear protective goggles and not to smoke or eat. If liquid comes into contact with exposed skin, wash with soap and water.

Gearbox oil must be replaced after 60,000 km. Oil change procedure see subsections 3.3.2 and 3.4.2 ... Every 20,000 km, check the oil level in the transmission and top up if necessary. The oil level in the crankcase must reach the edge of the filler hole. If the drained oil contains metal particles or is very dirty, flush the box. To do this, pour 0.9 liters of fresh oil into its crankcase. Jack up the rear of the vehicle. 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 dirt that has got under it.

Crankcase oil rear axle must be changed after 60,000 km. The oil is changed in the same way as in the gearbox. After 20,000 km, check the oil level in the crankcase and top up if necessary. The oil level should be up to the edge of the filler hole. When checking the oil level, the breather must be cleaned of dirt in the same way as was done for the gearbox.

Do not use re-drained brake fluid.

Brake fluid the clutch and brake drives must be replaced every 2 years, regardless of the vehicle mileage. Brake fluid used in clutch and brake drives domestic production “Rosa”, “Rosa-3”, “Tom”, “Neva” or their foreign counterparts on a non-oil basis, the quality level of which is not lower than DOT-3. Use other brands of fluids, especially petroleum based fluids, prohibited.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic and cannot be stored in an open container.

The procedure for replacing the brake fluid is as follows:

1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir cover.

2. Remove the rubber protective caps from the air release valves on the wheel cylinders and put 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 down, drain the fluid. Tighten the air release valves as soon as fluid from the hoses stops flowing.

4. Pour the drained brake fluid from the vessels and put them back 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, it is necessary to constantly add fluid to the master cylinder reservoir. After the hoses on the air release valves begin to flow clean brake fluid, screw on 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 hoses from air release valves and put protective caps on them.

In the same way, replace the fluid in the clutch hydraulic drive.

In order to replace the lubricant in your car, it is enough to contact the service station for help, or you can do this procedure yourself. If the driver nevertheless decides to use the services of a service station specialist, this choice will be the most optimal, since the master has an excellent approach to any car. But one day there will be a need for self-replacement oil, therefore it is necessary to consider how correctly, what and how much oil should be poured into the TAGAZ Hyundai Accent engine.

How to understand what kind of oil you need Hyundai Accent?

All products in this category have a special coding that corresponds to the parameters of vehicle use. The encoding has a mask, for example 5w-20. To choose the right oil for a Hyundai accent, you need to fully understand this encoding.

The first digit in this value is an indicator of cranking and pumping ability when using the car at the lowest possible temperature. This value fully characterizes the starting temperature of the motor. If the indicator is indicated even lower, then the starting temperature of the motor will be even lower.

The second number after the letter is an indicator of the maximum viscosity of the liquid at the normal operating temperature of the engine of 100 degrees and the minimum viscosity at 150 degrees. These temperatures are considered the maximum for the motor to operate. If it operates at the maximum available temperature of 100 degrees, while the viscosity car oil goes down to the very low level, the greatest fuel economy is achieved in the car, the engine power increases.

It is important to remember that the low viscosity of the grease can lead to destruction or even slight damage to the engine as it covers the surface with a small thin layer.

Manufacturers always indicate what kind of lubricant must be poured into the engine of a particular machine. But these recommendations can be customized for yourself, since they are recommended, but not required. The correction takes place at the level of the viscosity calculation at the lowest air temperature. If we take into account the changeable weather and climate of the territory of the country, the values \u200b\u200bof 0W, 5W, 10W are usually determined for the brand of such a machine. The Hyundai Accent engine is designed to use the most viscous oils, so 5w-40 is considered the optimal coding for such an engine.

What kind of oil should you fill? The manufacturer has identified three brands:

• Liqui moly;
• Aral;
• Mannol.

The oil for Hyundai Accent should be used during the initial break-in phase before normal vehicle operation. Actually, the engine itself is run in and at this moment it is necessary to adhere to all recommendations from the manufacturer.

Running in should be treated with special responsibility, because the result of this process determines its further fate and performance characteristics engine. This process averages 6,000 km. For the period of the first 6000 km, the car owner should not exceed the speed and allow the engine to overheat.

Fill the engine only with the oil that was used during the break-in. If the oil is changed to something else, it can lead to an expensive car repair. What kind of oil you need to pour will be determined at the purchase stage. When driving, pay attention to oil consumption. In an accent with mileage, noises can be heard, which means that its consumption has increased.

It is important to remember that excess oil must be drained and the engine must not be refilled. If the engine runs smoothly, does not make any noise, and the machine itself moves smoothly, then you need to adhere to this oil level.

The Hyundai engine requires changing its fluid in Russia both in winter and in summer. In a warmer climate, this need is partially eliminated, but in Russia, replacement is required twice a year. It is also important to pay special attention to quality, you do not need to save on this, since further repairs will cost many times more.

How is the oil changed in such a car?

Hyundai Accent, as mentioned earlier, requires an oil change every six months, depending on the season. But, it is worth considering that the replacement must be performed for every 10 or 15 thousand run. Residents of a large city need to do this every 8 or 10 thousand runs.

In order to change the oil, you will need the following tools:

• the oil itself, 4 liters;
• oil filter;
• drain plug;
• keys for promotion - 17 and 19;
• a separate wrench for untwisting the oil filter;
• set of torcs.

How is oil drained and filled?

Draining is done in stages, namely:

1. Before the replacement itself, you need to drive the car a little to warm up the engine;
2. The car drives in and is installed on a lift, the ignition is turned off;
3. The filler plug is removed where the filler grease is installed;
4. You will need a container for further draining, you need to put it next to it;
5. Bung drain hole unscrews, protection is removed if available;
6. When draining old oil, you need to pay attention to whether there is anything superfluous in it;
7. After draining all the liquid from the reservoir, you need to screw on a new drain plug;
8. Replace the oil filter.

The oil must be poured carefully so that nothing spills outside the neck. In order to prevent anything bad from happening, use a watering can. If a watering can is not available, motorists are accustomed to substituting the neck of a plastic bottle as an alternative.

After the oil is filled, you need to start the car for a few minutes. If the oil remains at the same level, then its volume will be enough for the engine, and if it was noticed that there was less oil after such a procedure, add the required amount.

At the end, you can again emphasize the importance timely replacement liquids. It is also worth remembering that it does not change immediately after the running-in, and the running-in itself must also be performed in full, so that in the future it is not spent on expensive repairs. It must be changed twice a year and monitor the engine noise immediately after replacing it in order to determine the appropriate fluid level for it and prevent both overflow and underfilling.

The engine is the “heart of the car”. He needs constant care and requires the use of high-quality consumables. If you pay attention to your car and replace the necessary consumables in a timely manner, it will last much longer.

When to change the oil

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

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

Oil change

1. Before proceeding to change the engine oil, the car engine must be warmed up, it is better to first train, but you can also let it idle.
2. Drive the car into a hole or lift it onto a lift, turn off the engine. Unscrew the oil filler cap on the engine cover.
3. Remove the pallet protection, if any. Prepare a container for draining used oil, place it under the hole and unscrew the drain plug located on the pallet.
4. Drain the old oil and look at its condition, it should not contain metal shavings and sawdust. When all the oil is drained, wipe the plug dry and screw it back on.
5. Move the container with the old oil under the oil filter. It is usually located to the left, closer to the top edge of the engine. Two types of oil filters were installed on Hyundai Accent cars, this is a non-separable metal and, separately replaceable, replaceable element. Consider removing two options.
6. If the filter is screw-on, non-separable, then:
   • Take the key and unscrew the filter (counterclockwise);
   • Wipe dry the seat on the block with a cloth;
   • Compare the new oil filter with the old one, they must be the same type and size;
   • Lubricate the gasket on the new filter with engine oil and screw it onto the block. Screw on the filter tightly, tighten if necessary, oil should not leak through the gasket.
7. If a replacement filter element is installed:
   • On the filter element housing, unscrew the cover fixing bolt and remove it;
   • Take out the replacement element and compare it with the purchased one, they should be completely the same;
   • Wipe everything and replace the o-rings, after having lubricated them with engine oil.
8. Fill in new oil, wait ten minutes, check the oil level with the dipstick, if it is sufficient, you can screw the filler cap.
9. Start the engine and see if the plug and filter are tightly tightened, you can drive a little car. If a leak appears, stop, turn off the engine and tighten the filter and plug.
10. Look under the hood again and check the oil level; if necessary, add it to the required mark.

Good to know

If you yourself choose to replace the oil for a Hyundai Accent car, then you must remember the manufacturer's recommendations and requirements for oil quality. There are two types of motor oils:

• Mineral - its viscosity will be directly influenced by temperature conditions.
• Synthetic - capable of working in a wide range of temperatures, has a uniform consistency and stable properties.

To change the engine oil, you will need to know the fill volume. Otherwise, the oil can be overfilled or overflowed. If the oil level is not enough, this will lead to early engine wear, and if you pour too much, it can lead to extruded oil seals and seals. When oil is overflowed, the level of its combustion in the cylinder increases, which leads to the deposition of unburned components from the additive package on the surfaces particulate filter and catalyst, thereby reducing their efficiency and significantly reducing their service life. Information on the volume of filling can be obtained by consulting with a specialist in a car shop, when buying oil, consulting with friends or discussing it on the forum on the Internet, as well as looking in the service book of a Hyundai Accent car.

When the oil filter is replaced, it is necessary to lubricate the O-rings with clean engine oil, otherwise it will not swell and there will not be enough tight pressing against the seat, which will lead to oil leakage from under the filter. Dripping oil may fall on the hot exhaust manifold pipe, and this may result in a fire. In addition, when replacing the filter, put a few drops of oil into it and, be sure, after changing the oil, let the engine run a little, while checking the pressure and level.

When screwing on the drain plug on the oil pan, do not apply too much force, if you overtighten it, you can break the threads. Take care in advance of purchasing a copper ring for the drain plug, it is disposable and must be replaced with each unscrewing drain plug on a pallet. Otherwise, the system may be leaking or the plug may simply unscrew.

Engine oil

Any car enthusiast knows that it is not worth postponing the change of engine oil in the engine. In the used oil, carbon deposits, combustion products and wear of parts accumulate, the additives decompose and the level of viscosity decreases, which leads to quick wear and, as a consequence, the failure of the entire engine. The oil that has worked out its life does not fulfill the functions assigned to it to reduce the friction of contacting surfaces and remove heat.

An unambiguous answer to the question: "How often should the engine oil be changed?" no. There are only recommended replacement intervals, which are prescribed in the service books and set by the 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 the weather and road conditions, as well as the intensity of daily loads to which the car will be subjected. The climatic zone for which the vehicle was manufactured also significantly affects the interval between oil changes.

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