'07 Elantra maintenance/Warranty Questions
I bought a used '07 Elantra Limited with 9,127 miles. I'm trying to figure out if this vehicle qualifies for the 5/60 drive train warranty. The dealer printed out the car's service record for me.
06/07/07 15 miles predelivery inspection/service 09/28/07 2,126 miles consumer action 11/08/07 2,290 miles switch assy-lighting and/or turn signal 05/20/08 6,344 miles change engine oil and filter check and fill fluids, etc 11/05/08 9,127 miles perform oil+filter change using a motorcraft filter and synthe.... The sales guy told me the car has a 5 year or 60,000 mile warranty on the drive train. But the Bill of Sale doesn't mention any kind of warranty. Vehicle was purchased in the Baltimore, MD area. [/align]************************************************** ********************************************* The owners manual states the following maintenance items need to be performed. I want to do them myself and save a few bucks. besides the warranty no longer applies to them: page 7-6 of the owner's manual: at least once a year: clean body and door holes[/align] *where are the holes located? lubricate door and hood locks and latches[/align] *what should I use to lubricate the door locks and latches? lubricate door rubber weatherstrips[/align] *what do I lubricate the weatherstrips with? Check the air conditioning system[/align] *how do I check the A/C system? Inspect and lubricate automatic transaxle linkage and controls[/align][/align]*lubricate them with what? Clean battery and terminals I know how to do this Check the brake (and clutch) fluid level [/align]*I know how to do this Can a buy a book that'll describe how an owner can perform the maintenance tasks described above? The car paint is silver and there is no side molding to prevent dings and dents to the doors and side body panels. Does Hyundai sell side molding for the car? [/align][/align]I Googled "Hyundai Forums" and it returned about a dozend or more different forums. Should I join all of them? That's a lot of forums to keep up with. Thanks[/align] |

Yesterday, I went to another dealer service dept where they replaced the filter and changed the oil.
This time they installed a Quaker State oil filter and Quaker State oil. I've never ever been a fan of Quaker State oil. years ago, I had a Norton Atlas bike and used Quaker State oil until I took the engine apart and saw some sort of sludgecaked all over the place. Then I learned Quaker State was some sort of parafin based oil. youck. Even though I requested a Hyudai OEM filter. They told me the Quaker State filter has the right bypass valve and some other valve. Needless to say I'm P.O. . . . |

It gets even stranger because the service tech gave me that TSB yesterday. I think he's the one that added the QS filter.

Any recommendations for Hyundai Service Depts in the Baltimore, Towson, Naryland area?
