Hyundai recommends having your 2016 Hyundai Equus’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Hyundai Equus. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
