Shortly we will see how to perform the routine maintenance service, replacing the engine oil and oil filter, of the Hyundai Sonata. First, we lift the vehicle and start by unscrewing the oil drain plug found on the oil pan, letting it drain into a container for about ten minutes; then we unscrew the oil filter cartridge with the appropriate wrench, replacing it with the new original one (screwing it by hand and tightening gently).

At this point, we top up with the new engine oil, following the specifications indicated in the vehicle's owner's manual.
