What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 2018 Hyundai Sonata?

Your Guide to 2018 Hyundai Sonata Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Hyundai Sonata, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Sonata 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Sonata maintenance. Just follow your 2018 Hyundai Sonata maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Hyundai themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; 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 Sonata's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2018 Hyundai Sonata problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Hyundai Sonata Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 2018 Hyundai Sonata to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Sonata'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 Sonata? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Sonata may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Hyundai Sonata battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Sonata stranded. Your Hyundai Sonata won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2018 Hyundai Sonata running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2018 Sonata. 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 2018 Hyundai Sonata? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Hyundai Sonata suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Hyundai Sonata steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Hyundai Sonata's steering and suspension system.

Without routine Hyundai Sonata maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.

Take an active role in maintaining your 2018 Hyundai Sonata. Get answers to common Hyundai Sonata maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Hyundai Sonata alignment checked? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Hyundai Sonata? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Hyundai Sonata engines.
  •  Why are my Hyundai dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Hyundai Sonata in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
