Preparation

1. Park vehicle on level surface and engage parking brake
2. Allow engine and drivetrain to cool to safe working temperature (minimum 30 minutes)
3. Gather all required tools, parts, and fluids before beginning
4. Raise vehicle using floor jack at designated lift points and support with jack stands at all four corners
5. Remove all four wheels for access to brakes and differential service points
6. Install magnetic drain pan under engine oil drain plug location

Procedure

1. 1

   Drain engine oil
   Locate the oil drain plug on the bottom of the oil pan. Using appropriate socket, loosen the drain plug slowly. Once loosened, quickly remove by hand while keeping pressure against plug to prevent oil spillage. Allow oil to drain completely for at least 10 minutes. Remove and discard old crush washer from drain plug.
2. 2

   Replace oil filter and drain plug
   While oil drains, remove the oil filter (located on driver side of engine block). Apply thin film of clean engine oil to new filter gasket. Install new crush washer on drain plug. Once oil has fully drained, install drain plug with new washer and torque to specification. Hand-tighten new oil filter until gasket contacts, then rotate an additional 3/4 turn.
3. 3

   Replace engine air filter
   Open hood and locate air filter housing on passenger side of engine bay. Release air box clips (typically 4-6 clips depending on configuration). Lift top half of air box housing and remove old air filter element. Clean any debris from housing with clean cloth. Install new air filter ensuring proper orientation with rubber seal facing down. Close housing and secure all clips.
4. 4

   Replace cabin air filter
   Open glove box and remove contents. Locate cabin filter access door on right side of glove box housing (may require removing glove box limiter arms). Press tabs on filter cover and remove. Slide old cabin filter out noting airflow direction arrows. Install new cabin filter matching airflow direction arrows. Replace cover and reinstall glove box components.
5. 5

   Drain front differential
   Position drain pan under front differential (located between engine and front wheels). Clean area around drain plug. Remove front differential drain plug and allow fluid to drain completely (approximately 5-7 minutes). Clean drain plug and install new washer. Do not reinstall drain plug yet.
6. 6

   Refill front differential
   Locate front differential fill plug on side of differential housing. Remove fill plug to verify proper location and ensure vent is clear. Install drain plug with new washer and torque to mounting bolt specification. Using fluid transfer pump, add 1.5 quarts of 75W-90 GL-5 gear oil through fill hole until fluid begins to seep from fill hole. Install fill plug with new washer and torque to mounting bolt specification. Wipe clean any spilled fluid.
7. 7

   Drain rear differential
   Reposition drain pan under rear differential (located at rear axle center). Clean area around rear differential drain plug. Remove drain plug and allow fluid to drain completely (approximately 7-10 minutes). Clean drain plug and install new washer. Do not reinstall drain plug yet.
8. 8

   Refill rear differential
   Locate rear differential fill plug on front face of differential housing. Remove fill plug. Install drain plug with new washer and torque to mounting bolt specification. Using fluid transfer pump, add 2.0 quarts of 75W-90 GL-5 gear oil through fill hole until fluid begins to seep from fill hole. Install fill plug with new washer and torque to mounting bolt specification. Wipe clean any spilled fluid.
9. 9

   Inspect brake system components
   With wheels removed, inspect brake pads for remaining thickness (minimum 3mm required). Inspect brake rotors for scoring, heat cracks, or excessive wear. Check brake calipers for leaks or damage. Inspect brake lines and hoses for cracks, chafing, or fluid leaks. Document brake pad remaining thickness for service records.
10. 10

    Flush brake fluid
    Locate brake master cylinder reservoir under hood (driver side firewall area). Clean area around reservoir cap and remove cap. Using turkey baster or fluid transfer pump, remove old brake fluid from reservoir. Refill with fresh DOT 4 brake fluid. Beginning with right rear wheel, attach brake bleeder kit to bleeder screw. Have assistant pump brake pedal 3-4 times and hold. Open bleeder screw until fluid flows and close before pedal reaches floor. Repeat until fluid runs clear. Move to left rear, right front, then left front in that order. Maintain reservoir level throughout process. Top off reservoir to MAX line when complete.
11. 11

    Refill engine oil
    Lower vehicle temporarily to level ground for accurate oil fill. Remove engine oil fill cap on top of engine. Using funnel, add 4.5 quarts of Hyundai Genuine 0W-20 engine oil. Install oil fill cap. Start engine and allow to run for 30 seconds, then shut off. Wait 2 minutes for oil to settle. Check oil level using dipstick and add remaining oil to bring level to upper mark (total capacity 5.0 quarts). Verify no leaks at drain plug or filter.
12. 12

    Reinstall wheels and perform final inspections
    Reinstall all four wheels. Hand-tighten lug nuts in star pattern. Lower vehicle until wheels just contact ground but vehicle is still supported by jack stands. Torque lug nuts to specification in star pattern. Fully lower vehicle and remove jack stands. Perform final torque verification of all lug nuts in star pattern. Inspect underside for any fluid leaks from drain plugs or filter. Check all fluid levels and verify proper fill.

Reassembly

1. Double-check that all drain plugs and fill plugs are properly torqued and not leaking
2. Verify engine oil level is correct after running engine and allowing oil to settle
3. Ensure all air box clips are fully seated and secure
4. Verify brake pedal feels firm with no sponginess after brake fluid flush
5. Confirm all wheels are properly torqued in star pattern

Verification

• Start engine and verify no oil leaks from drain plug or filter after 1 minute of operation
• Check for any fluid leaks under vehicle after test drive
• Verify brake pedal operation is normal with firm pedal feel
• Test drive vehicle for 5-10 minutes, then recheck all fluid levels
• Listen for any unusual noises from differentials during turns
• Reset maintenance reminder light in instrument cluster using vehicle settings menu
• Document service date, mileage, and brake pad measurements in service records
