2016 Hyundai Elantra Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Hyundai Elantra, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Elantra. 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, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 Hyundai Elantra!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2016 Hyundai Elantra problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2016 Hyundai Elantra 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's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2016 Hyundai Elantra be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last 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 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Elantra) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Hyundai Elantra could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2016 Hyundai Elantra engine. See Hyundai's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2016 Elantra in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2016 Hyundai Elantra? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Hyundai Elantra steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Hyundai Elantra suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Hyundai Elantra's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Hyundai Elantra services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Hyundai Elantra’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Hyundai Elantra? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2016 Hyundai Elantra maintenance.
