Buying a new Hyundai is an exciting experience—but like any new vehicle, it often comes with questions about how to properly maintain and service it. At Tim Moran Hyundai, we work with hundreds of new owners every year who want to ensure their vehicle runs smoothly for years to come.

To make things easier, we’ve compiled the top 10 most common service questions new Hyundai customers ask, along with easy-to-understand answers and direct links to help you stay informed.

1. How Often Should I Change My Oil?

One of the most frequent questions we get is about oil change frequency. For most modern Hyundai vehicles, the recommendation is every 7,500 to 10,000 miles with synthetic oil under normal driving conditions. However, your exact interval can depend on your model and driving style.

📘 Check your exact interval in the official Hyundai Owner’s Manual.

We also offer quick and reliable service at our Tim Moran Hyundai Service Center where you can easily book your next oil change.

2. What’s Included in Hyundai’s Warranty?

Hyundai is known for offering America’s Best Warranty, which includes:

• 5-Year/60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty

• 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty

• 7-Year/Unlimited Mileage Anti-perforation Warranty

• 5-Year/Unlimited Mileage Roadside Assistance

Explore full coverage details on the Hyundai Warranty Page.

3. Do I Need to Service My Hyundai at the Dealership?

Technically, you’re free to choose where you get your car serviced—but here’s why Tim Moran Hyundai is your best option:

• Certified Hyundai technicians

• Use of Genuine Hyundai Parts

• Access to the latest software updates and recalls

• Manufacturer-backed service record keeping

Plus, we often run exclusive Hyundai Service Specials you won’t find anywhere else.

4. How Can I Check If There’s a Recall on My Vehicle?

You can quickly find out if your Hyundai has an active recall by visiting the Hyundai Recall Lookup Tool.

Enter your VIN or license plate to see if there are any open recalls. At Tim Moran Hyundai, we also check for recalls during routine service visits. If there’s an issue, we’ll fix it free of charge.

5. What Is Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance?

All new Hyundai models now include 3 years or 36,000 miles of Complimentary Maintenance, covering:

• Oil and filter changes

• Tire rotations

• Multi-point inspections

This program is part of Hyundai’s effort to give owners peace of mind and reduce early ownership costs.

6. Why Did My Check Engine Light Turn On?

A check engine light can indicate something as simple as a loose gas cap—or something more serious.

When it turns on, our technicians will:

• Use advanced diagnostic tools to scan the system

• Identify and explain the issue

• Recommend next steps (often covered by warranty)

Book a diagnostic service appointment to get clarity and peace of mind right away.

7. When Should I Rotate My Tires?

Rotating your tires helps ensure even wear and prolongs tire life. Hyundai recommends doing this every 7,500 miles, typically at the same time as your oil change.

Our Tire Service Page offers details on:

• Rotation

• Balancing

• Alignments

• Seasonal tire changes

Plus, we’ll price-match eligible competitors on select tire brands.

8. Should I Use Hyundai Genuine Parts or Aftermarket?

We always recommend using Hyundai Genuine Parts. Here’s why:

• They’re engineered for your specific model

• They maintain your factory warranty

• They offer superior quality and durability

You can request parts or accessories through our Parts Order Form, and we’ll install them with expert care.
