5 Tips to Keep Your Hyundai Running Smoothly

Hyundai cars are known for safety, comfort, and ultra-reliable performance. It may take less maintenance to keep a Hyundai in terrific shape than many other automotive brands, but you still need to remember your oil changes and tire rotations. The technicians at your local Hyundai dealership can carry out all essential performance care to keep your Tuscan, Palisade, IONIQ 5, or Sonata purring along wonderfully for its full impressive lifespan. 

5 Tips to Keep Your Hyundai Running Smoothly

Refresh Your Motor Oil

The hardest-working parts of a car are often the quietest. Inside your engine, the motor oil works away silently mile after mile like a diligent and dependable janitor, clearing away particles and protecting all the vital parts from friction. Modern synthetic oil is highly durable and only needs to be changed twice a year for most drivers. For the sake of your engine, never allow your motor oil to grow old and degrade. 

Book Engine Tune-Ups

A good engine tune-up entails running an onboard diagnostics scan, replacing the air filter, calibrating the ignition timing, inspecting and possibly replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils, and much more. It’s a full overhaul and makeover for your engine, rejuvenating your car’s most vital component, and should be carried out once a year. 

Inspect Your Cooling System

The cooling system should also be examined yearly, ideally including a pressure test for the radiator. The whole system needs to be checked for signs of leaks or corrosion, the coolant inspected for rust, and flushed every two to four years. Without routine cooling system care, your engine faces a risk of overheating, will wear down faster, and will run less efficiently.

Replace Your Brake Pads

Smooth driving also requires responsive brakes. Due to the wear and tear that brakes naturally undergo, your brakes should be inspected twice a year or more. And brake pads need to be replaced on time; watch out for the squealing or grinding sounds that indicate worn-out pads. 

Rotate Your Tires

Without strong, healthy tires, your drives will become noticeably rougher and noisier. Worse than that, your handling precision will diminish if the tires become uneven or misaligned. Drivers should typically rotate their tires twice a year and have the alignment of all four wheels measured on the same maintenance visit.
