How does Hyundai drivetrain maintenance help save money?

What are signs my Hyundai drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Hyundai Elantra, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Hyundai Elantra differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a Elantra?

A multitude of problems can activate your Elantra’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the Elantra malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Elantra's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Elantra.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Elantra?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Elantra should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Elantra transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Elantra includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Elantra forward.

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Elantra's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Hyundai, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Elantra and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Hyundai Elantra, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Hyundai's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
