When to Change 2010 Hyundai Accent Engine Oil

Need more info about 2010 Hyundai Accent oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Hyundai recommends changing your 2010 Accent’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Accent may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Hyundai if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Hyundai Accent. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Hyundai Accent?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2010 Hyundai Accent motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Hyundai has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2010 Accent.

In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your Accent’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Accent by considering your driving style, weather and road conditions,

2010 Hyundai Accent Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Hyundai Accent engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Hyundai Accent engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Hyundai Accent oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Hyundai exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Hyundai Accent oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Hyundai Accent oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Hyundai Accent to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Hyundai Accent oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Accent's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Hyundai Accent oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
