Checking the oil level (Hyundai Elantra J1)

The oil level should be checked approximately every 1000 km. Oil consumption per 1000 km should not exceed 1 l. Higher consumption means wear of valve stem seals or piston rings, or oil gaskets.

To measure the oil level, place the car on a level surface.

Warm up the engine to operating temperature.

After stopping the engine, wait until the oil drains into the oil pan.

Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth.

Then, insert the dipstick all the way in and pull it out again. The oil level should be between the MAX and MIN marks.

Add new oil only when the oil level approaches the minimum mark; topping up is done through the oil filler neck on the cylinder head.
