2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Maintenance

When it comes to your Hyundai Elantra GT, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Elantra GT could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Elantra GT, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Hyundai themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Elantra GT's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Elantra GT's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Hyundai Elantra GT battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Elantra GT) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Hyundai Elantra GT won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2018 Elantra GT. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT.
