Hyundai Service & Maintenance FAQs in Santa Rosa, CA

Most modern Hyundai models using full synthetic oil recommend an oil change every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently drive in severe conditions—such as heavy stop-and-go traffic on Hwy 101 or short trips—a 5,000-mile interval may be recommended. Check your owner's manual or consult our service advisors for personalized maintenance schedules.
