Just a poll to get some interaction in! Everyone has an opinion on this…what’s yours?
Every 3,000-3,750 miles. HyunKia GDI 4-cylinders are dirty little engines and the “severe” schedule of 3,000 (2.0T), 3,750 (2.4L/3.3L) applies in “rare” driving conditions such traffic in hot weather, very cold weather, hills, <5 mile trips, stop/go traffic, etc.
Your intervals are sadly too wide by the way.
Whenever my oil goes from “Yeah that’s about right” to “eugh yep its time”, typically around the 4-5k mark. Yay direct injection!
Yearly on my mustang. Never put more than 5k miles a year on it. Gti gets it every 10k, or yearly. Might drop the interval now that it’s mostly city driving.
Pretty bad poll. Lots of cars can go longer than the options listed. I change mine every 20,000 km which is Mercedes recommended interval in Canada (when the car tells me to change my oil).
Didn’t know that! Always learning something.
Sorry to be a dick but this is kind of a terrible poll. The 3 most common intervals are 3k, 5k, and 10k. One is not represented. One is represented by 2 different options and 2 of them are represented by the same option.
I drive an EV now. Where’s the ‘never’ option?
Not if you drive a pure EV Kona, Niro or Ioniq! People found out poor reduction gearbox design means it fouls up it’s gear oil rapidly (compared to say, a Bolt which does not do that) and periodic changes are necessary - or at least one done early in it’s break-in period. (Not to be confused with the hybrid versions of those three or the Ioniq 5 and 6)
