Hyundai Oil Change Service in Birmingham
Many new and older-model Hyundai vehicles utilize an oil life monitoring sensor that alerts you when you need an oil change. However, a good rule of thumb for oil change intervals is every 5,000 miles. This may vary depending on the type of motor oil you use (synthetic vs. conventional oil, for instance) and could even be extended to 7,500 or 10,000 miles. Always check your owner's manual for recommended oil change times, or let an oil change shop near you tell you when your vehicle's ready for maintenance.
Check you owner's manual to see what grade and viscosity of oil and change frequency your vehicle needs and occasionally confirm that the oil is at its optimal level.

Oil Change Service FAQs
A: As soon as your Hyundai alerts you, you'll want to schedule an oil change appointment at our Hyundai service center near Hoover, AL. We will handle changing your oil, resetting the system, and scheduling you for another appointment in a few months.
Q: What type of motor or engine oil does my Hyundai need?
A:Â Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual or speak with your Hyundai oil change mechanic. Most newer Hyundai models will require full-synthetic motor oil, though the viscosity and type will vary by your engine and Hyundai model. Choosing the right Hyundai oil will improve performance, protect your engine and components, reduce oil consumption, and give you better fuel economy.
Q: How long can I go without changing my oil?
A: Back in the day, oil changes were required after 3,000 miles. But with advanced motor oil and full-synthetic oil, most new Hyundai vehicles can drive more than 5,000 miles before needing to change oil.
Q: Do I really need an oil filter?
A: Yes, it's highly recommended you replace your oil filter with an oil change. A clean oil filter will ensure the proper lubrication level throughout your engine. Plus, oil filters are very cheap and are included in our oil change price in Birmingham.
