Hey scotty, love your videos! I ordered a new Elantra and I was wondering when to do my first oil change? I am thinking maybe after the first 1000 km (break-in period for Hyundai) just to get any metal particles out of the engine that may shred off during the break-in process or any dust left from manufacturing. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!
Much love from Alberta, or Texas of Canada as I call 😉
It won't hurt to do it after the initial break in period especially given it's a Hyundai. And after that change your oil and filter every 3 to 5k miles depending on your driving (city vs. highway). As Scotty says oil and filter is cheap but engine is expensive.
When will scotty answer my questions on his video??
You'll have to keep watching and find out. It may be months from now, and he doesn't answer every single question in the forum.
If you want to ask him directly then tune in the live show twice a week. Details in the FAQ.

Hyundai and Kia motors are notorious for prematurely burning oil. This will just hasten the wear process that leads to it.
no. Just follow your normal schedule.

Change after 500km, then after 2000km and then normally if you want to be perfectionist. Later change depends how you drive. If you are a steady driver and drive a lot on highway then 10000km is ok. If a lot in the city and have a lead foot 5000km is max.
