How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the owner’s manual for the definitive schedule; typical recommendations are 5,000–7,500 miles for conventional oil and up to 7,500–10,000 miles for full synthetic, depending on driving habits.
• Severe driving conditions—short trips, stop-and-go traffic, towing, or extreme temperatures—require more frequent oil changes.
• Time-based intervals (every 6–12 months) also matter because oil degrades over time even with low mileage.
• Our technicians will inspect oil condition during routine service and advise a personalized interval to protect your engine and maximize efficiency.

What type of oil does an 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT take?

• Use Hyundai-recommended, OEM-approved oils that meet current API specifications and viscosity guidelines listed in the owner’s manual.
• Many 2.0L Hyundai engines commonly use 5W-20 or similar viscosities; our service advisors confirm the exact specification and offer conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic options.
• Full synthetic oils provide better high- and low-temperature protection and longer change intervals, while conventional oil can be a cost-effective option for lower-mileage drivers.
• All warranty-covered work and oil recommendations are performed and documented by certified technicians at our dealership to ensure warranty compliance.

How much oil does an 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT need?

• The 2.0L engine typically requires approximately 4.0–4.5 quarts of engine oil with a filter change; the exact capacity is confirmed in the owner’s manual and by our service team.
• Our technicians measure and fill to the manufacturer’s specification to avoid overfill or underfill, both of which can harm engine health.
• Oil capacity may vary slightly with filter type or if additional services are performed; we always verify levels on a warm, level engine before returning the vehicle.
• Service at a certified dealership guarantees the correct fluid volume and documented service history, protecting resale value and warranty coverage.
