In my Skoda the oil filter is located in the bottom and I still have to lift the car up and remove undercar shield. After that it is easy to just drain the oil.
Servicing the car is pretty cheap. 5 liters of Mannol oil costs just 29€ and Valeo filters aren't too expensive either.
Use a brand name, high quality oil, Pennzoil, Mobil 1 Castrol, etc. always change your oil filter and crush washer too, using OEM Hyundai filters or WIX! Mahle and Denso oil filters are also acceptable.
If you go aftermarket get WIX brand filters. I use their oil, air, and cabin filters. All of them are as good or better than OEM
My opinion… 5W-30. I drive mine year round in a cold northern state. I was always told that if you’re hard on it at all and run it into higher rpm’s sometimes the coyote likes the heavier weight.
$27 synthetic 0-16W. $7 Toyota filter.
So $34. I do it myself. I don’t trust Walmart.
$30 total.
$25 for 5qt oil, $4.5 for oem filter from Toyota dealership.
Mazda oil filters are good but there are aftermarket filters equal and some are better than Mazda filters. Call the independent shop and ask what oil and filter they use then research it.
I'm currently using Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 and an Amsoil filter. 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE with 44,000+ miles. Several used oil analyses flagged high fuel dilution so I want the thicker Euro oil in there and also change it early every 5,000 miles.
I got denied an engine replacement from Hyundai/Kia in 2017 because of a Mobil1 oil filter in Canada and lost my appeal as well.
Changed the oil, and filter this summer. All well and good before. After a little while, a screeching sound from the oil filter housing. Collapsed filter? Nope. Replaced it with another new filter and same issue once again. On the slightest rev the sound is gone. No more Mann for me…
