How Often to Get 2013 Hyundai Genesis Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2013 Hyundai Genesis? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2013 Genesis’s oil should be changed according to Hyundai’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Hyundai-recommended oil change intervals, your Genesis may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Hyundai if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Hyundai Genesis. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2013 Hyundai Genesis motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Hyundai has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2013 Genesis.

In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your Genesis’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Genesis by considering your driving preferences, weather and road conditions,

2013 Hyundai Genesis Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Hyundai Genesis? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Genesis’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Hyundai Genesis oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Hyundai Genesis exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Hyundai Genesis? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Hyundai Genesis oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Hyundai Genesis oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Hyundai Genesis could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to replace my Genesis’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Hyundai Genesis during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
