New 08 Sonata Owner
Thank goodness for this forum. I am a first time Hyundai owner. I just purchased a 08 Sonata GL Premium (4 Cly) and I am extremely happy with my purchase from a value standpoint. Since I have only had the car for 3 days, making any other judgements would be silly so soon. My question is oilproofing. I know with most cars it is unnecessary as the parts are already pre-treated and it is just a waste of money. However, I have onlyowned a Toyota prior to this car and I want to make sure that it is no different with Hyundai's.
If anyone has any feedback I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & Happy Hollidays

They put an oilspray on the undercarriage, in the wheel wells, doors etc that is designed to help with snow, salt etc (basically rust). Some call it rustproofing.Most parts are pre-treated. I know in toyota's they offer it, but all mechanics I talked to said forget it, waste of money. I am wondeirng what Hyundai owners who have cars in cold weather do.

I live in an area that uses lots of salt on the roads in the winter. I use Krown rustproofing on my Sonata. I don't think these types of products are a waste of money especially if you intend to keep the car for a long time. If you are only going to drive it for 3 or 4 years I wouldn't bother with anything.
