Hyundai Sonata Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Hyundai Sonata?

For optimal performance, safety, and emissions control, your Hyundai Sonata will periodically require maintenance. Routine maintenance can correct problems in your car that start small before they become larger and more expensive issues. While every automaker has a recommended service schedule for its vehicles, you must follow the Hyundai Sonata maintenance schedule for your car, located in the owner's manual that you get when you buy the car. The owner's manual tells you the services required at all of the Hyundai Sonata service intervals to give you a better idea of what to expect at each appointment.

15,000-Mile Service

Before your car reaches this point, it will need to have an oil change at 7,500 miles. Oil changes will continue for the Sonata every 7,500 miles afterward. Therefore, the 15,000-mile checkup adds a second engine oil change to the checklist. The engine may have its filter replaced so that only clean air gets into the fuel lines. A mechanic may give the car a fuel additive as well to optimize its performance. The air filter in the car's cabin may get replaced at 15,000 miles.

30,000-Mile Service

The Sonata will have another oil change at 30,000 miles. The brakes will be inspected for damage, including leaks and corrosion in the pipes and wires. The brake components are checked for excess wear, and the brake fluid may be changed. The car's tires will be rotated, and the car may have an alignment. The refrigerant fluid is changed at 30,000 miles, and the air cleaner filter is also replaced. A mechanic will inspect the vacuum hose as well. The driveshaft, boots, and suspension mounting bolts are all evaluated.

60,000-Mile Service

Your Sonata will have its exterior safety components checked along with another oil change, including the windshield wiper blades and the lights. The Sonata's tires will be rotated again, and it will have the filters in the cabin, and the engine replaced. The mechanic will test the car's battery power and visually inspect the battery to look for leaks and corrosion. The exhaust pipe, fuel lines, and brakes also get checked when your Hyundai Sonata hits 60,000 miles.

90,000-Mile Service

At 90,000 miles, your Hyundai will have its major fluids changed, including the engine fluids, transmission, and brake fluids. The parking brake will be inspected, and the spark plugs get replaced if they have not been already. The suspension mounting bolts and air cleaner filter are also changed.
