Purpose

Whenever your PALISADE, TUCSON, or SANTA CRUZ is running, your engine will begin to accrue a great deal of heat. This is because it has a number of moving parts that consistently grind against each other, which causes them to rise in temperature. To prevent the accruing warmth from becoming an issue that compromises the functionality of your vehicle, a layer of oil coats these components. As a lubricant, it reduces the overall friction, creating smoother movements that allow for more efficient handling. Furthermore, the oil will act as a cleaning agent, removing any dirt and grime that is collected over time. But because of this, it will go from a golden hue to a dark brown, signifying that it must be exchanged at your earliest convenience. 

Warning Signs

In most cases, we suggest having your engine oil exchanged once every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, or every six months. The timeline can vary depending on various factors, so be sure to check your Owner’s Manual for details. If you are unsure of the last time you had it changed, then make sure to watch out for the following warning signs. This includes the engine temperature gauge indicating overheating. If it is severe enough, you may detect a burning odor coming from your Hyundai model when it is running. Your engine will also rumble, as the friction will have a noticeable effect on the parts within. Make sure to postpone your trips to Whitehall Park when these red flags manifest, as it could result in damage to crucial components. Make sure to take a look at our service specials beforehand for a great deal. 

Synthetic vs Conventional

When you come by our location in Anderson, you will have one of two options to choose from for your supply of oil. These are known as synthetic and conventional, and they each come with their own unique benefits. For instance, the former is a blend of refined crude oil and artificial components, allowing it to last longer and provide more efficiency. However, it will have a higher price tag as a result. Conventional may not last as long, but is more affordable. If you have an older vehicle with a vintage engine, it will provide a protective coating that will allow for more trips to be had along Highway 81.
