2013 Hyundai Accent Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Hyundai Accent? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Hyundai Accent engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Hyundai exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Hyundai Accent oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Hyundai Accent oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Hyundai Accent oil light illuminated? 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Hyundai Accent? 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.
