Changing the oil on a Genesis

[Administrator]

Here is a pic of the oil pan and drain plug for any of you who want to change your oil yourself on your Genesis.



So has anyone changed their own oil yet? I plan on doing all changes myself.

Nope still taking mine to the dealer. Looks to be pretty accessible which is nice, thank you for the pic

No problem. It uses a canister filter like BMWs and other european luxury cars. Hyundai has really stepped up their game on all levels.

Do you know how much oil the car takes?

I am considering trying to change my own oil

6-6.5 liters of oil from my experience. Not bad to change and I like the european style canister filters much better than having to use the american style ones.

Its always better to do oil changes yourself. You save money plus you're sure of what is done to your car. I've seen a few shops screw up something as simple as an oil change so I'm a bit scared of getting any work done.

I have had bad experiences myself. That is why I am on the forums now, to see what others are doing and hopefully to post up some of my own DIY write ups.
