From a quick grocery run to cross-state driving, your Hyundai is made to get you through it. But to keep your car running, you will need to visit your local Hyundai dealer to get an oil change. Like most substances, oil isn't immortal. It degrades over time and requires replacement. Without this replacement, your car won't function smoothly. Oil's role in your Hyundai is to lubricate and clean the many parts of your engine. Doing this helps preserve the engine so your car can be used for longer. Without clean, efficient oil, the engine will deteriorate and could even be damaged. Oil Gets Dirty As oil circulates your car's engine, it picks up debris from the engine's parts. Over time, this debris builds up and can cause the oil to change color and thicken. Motor oil also breaks down naturally as it ages and is used. The older it is, and the more use it sees, the thicker it will get. Thicker oil doesn't flow as smoothly through your Hyundai's engine. This means it isn't removing as much dirt from the system and, combined with higher friction within the engine, it decreases the efficiency of your car. This affects the mileage you get out of your gas and a Hyundai's health. The Effects of Not Changing Your Oil If dirt particles and chemical byproducts aren't removed from your car's engine, they can cause damage. With more friction, more heat is produced, causing premature wear and tear on the engine. On top of decreasing your mileage, this can make malfunctions and service issues more likely. Old, sludgy motor oil can wreak havoc on a car. If not changed properly, the damage to your Hyundai's engine might be even more expensive than the cost of changing its oil. In severe cases, the engine may have to be replaced entirely. How to Know Your Hyundai is Ready for a Change Most Hyundai's come equipped with a built-in light on the car's dashboard which will tell you when the motor oil is ready for a change. We recommend changing oil every 3,000 to 10,000 miles, depending on the type of engine and your car's use. However, there are other ways to tell when a car is ready for oil replacement: Engine overheating Decreased fuel efficiency A burning smell Unusual vibrations or noises If you notice any of these signs, it's best to get your Hyundai looked at right away. Regular changes will keep it running longer. Bring your car to Mike Kelly Hyundai in Butler, PA to get your oil checked and replaced if needed. We can also help you with any of your other car service or parts needs. Image via Pixabay

Regular car maintenance is vital to ensure that your Hyundai remains reliable. Below, your Hyundai dealership provides some valuable maintenance tips that can help keep your car in excellent running condition and even save you money on gas and repair costs. 1. Change the Oil and Filter Twice a Year Changing the oil and filter at the Hyundai recommended intervals is essential to ensure your engine stays clean, protected, and runs at its best. Oil and filter changes are typically required between 3,000 and 10,000 miles, depending on your vehicle's engine type and mileage. Failing to change the oil at timeously can lead to severe engine damage and even void your warranty. Refer to your owner's manual or contact us for the recommended oil and filter replacement intervals and the type of oil suitable for your specific model. 2. Keep the Fluids at the Correct Levels The fluids in your Hyundai serve the purpose of lubricating and cooling the different components. Regularly checking and replacing the fluids at recommended intervals is an easy way to ensure your Hyundai stays in excellent condition. You should check the levels of the oil, coolant, transmission, power steering, brake, and washer fluids at least once a month and top them off as needed. If any of the fluids appear discolored or dirty, make sure to get them replaced by one of our Hyundai technicians. 3. Inspect and Clean the Battery Regularly Inspecting your car's battery is a good idea when checking the fluids in your vehicle. Ensure there is no corrosion or buildup on the contacts. If you find any, clean the contacts by mixing one cup of water and a tablespoon of baking soda and using a brush. If you notice any cracks on the battery or if it's leaking, replace the battery immediately before the acid starts corroding critical components under the hood. 4. Change the Engine Air Filter For your vehicle's engine to run optimally, it requires a proper blend of air and fuel. Unfortunately, any dirt or other unwanted materials entering your engine and air can harm efficiency. That's why regularly replacing the engine air filter is essential to keep your engine clean. Ask your Hyundai technician to check if your engine air filter needs changing. 5. Replace the Spark Plugs Spark plugs generate the electricity that ignites the air and fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, allowing your car to start. Fouled spark plugs can cause hard starts, vibrations, rough idling, or high fuel consumption. The good news is that replacing your Hyundai's spark plugs is inexpensive. Taking good care of your Hyundai will ensure you enjoy many miles behind the wheel and make your car reliable, fuel-efficient, and long-lasting. Regular maintenance will save you from spending thousands of dollars on repairs and boost your Hyundai's resale value. Contact Mike Kelly Hyundai in Butler, PA, today to schedule a maintenance appointment, and the certified Hyundai technicians will help you keep your vehicle in top condition. Image via Pixabay

Working headlights are a must in any vehicle, and not just for people who need to drive after dark. In Pennsylvania, you also have to have the headlights switched on when you can't see 1,000 feet in front of you and when the windshield wipers are in use. If you notice any of the signs we're going to talk about below, then you'll need to get new headlights from your Hyundai dealer ASAP. 1. They Get Dimmer Headlights don't just go from 100% working to totally dead. Usually, they'll get dimmer for a while before they finally burn out. Pay close attention to your headlights every time you turn them on, and make sure you take note if they seem dimmer than before. Head to the dealer to replace them sooner rather than later, as you won't want them to totally burn out at an inconvenient time. Dimming headlights can also be a sign of an electrical issue, such as a problem with wiring, your alternator, or your battery, so make sure you look out for other issues your vehicle is having. Tell your dealer about any other potential issues you're having when you visit them to talk about your dimming headlights. 2. They Get Hazy Hazy headlights can sometimes mean that the headlights are preparing to burn out, but it could also be a different issue. You should head to the dealer and have the headlights checked out, as the dealer will be able to tell whether the headlights are nearing the end of their lifespan or whether they just need a good, strong cleaning. Sometimes dirt and salt can cause hazy headlights, and a thorough cleaning with a special solution can solve the problem. 3. They Start Flickering Like all lights, your headlights might start flickering in the lead-up to them burning out. Getting to a dealer ASAP will make sure you get them replaced before they stop working completely. However, be aware that flickering headlights are also a symptom of issues with other parts of your vehicle, such as the battery or alternator. Your dealer might want to fully check out your vehicle to rule out more serious issues. 4. They Don't Work at All If your headlights won't turn on at all, then it's the most obvious sign that something is wrong with them. While this can be caused by a faulty battery or alternator, and sometimes even a bad spark plug, it can also be a sign that the lights have just burned out. Sometimes just one of the lights won't turn on, and if that happens, it's a good idea to get both replaced. The other one is probably on its way out, too. Come and get your headlights replaced at Mike Kelly Hyundai. Image via Hyundai

Like any other car, you want to be sure that you are getting a good glimpse of a hybrid vehicle's performance during a test drive. A hybrid sedan like the Elantra uses regenerative braking energy to recharge the battery, so if you want to see how well the hybrid motor performs, you should focus your test drive on areas where you will use a lot of braking. Spending at least 15 minutes in an urban or suburban area can give you a good idea of the hybrid's recharging ability. Hybrid vehicles extend the fuel economy of your car, so you can shrink your carbon footprint. For a stylish sedan packed with impressive features, this year's Elantra hybrid model is ideal.
