Low Conductivity Coolant Change Procedure

Thank you! Based in this info I should get this work done for free. I sent all this info to my dealer. I am going to see them after the Canada Day long weekend. See what happens.

 

Here is what my local dealer is recommending for my 60,000 km service. I am hoping that the Invertor Coolant that they are referencing is the low conductivity fluid that is being discussed here.

Total: $509.90
Type 1 SERVICE
HYUNDAI CANADA REQUIRED
Hyundai Canada Service 1
Replace Inverter Coolant $429.95
Inspect Reduction Gear Oil
Tire Rotation or Perform Seasonal Tire Swap On Rims

 

I agree about the coolant replacement interval seeming correct but the reduction gear oil inspection seems to differ from the official maintenance schedule. Though, given history, the inspection sure couldn't hurt to do it.

 

I checked a few owner's manual PDFs that I have and all are the same, much earlier than I thought it was.

Once the panel is off and the plug removed it seems silly not to just change it for the sake of the cost of a bottle of oil.

 

Huh. I've sold my '19 so I don't have my original schedule anymore. My memory was that the interval was something like 100k+. But I could easily be mistaken.

 

I’ve always thought it was 120,000 km but I’ve never looked closely. It might be that I’ve seen 120k as a replacement interval on some schedules. I take inspection to mean check the level only.

 

I have a $AUD700 coolant service coming up at 60,000 kms.

 

Hi Just had mine done under recall free, you need to check if yours is the same Blue fluid, replaced with more Blue fluid, it takes 2 days for this to be done,
dealer gave me a IO6 to drive, just need the extra $35,000 to pay for it.

 

Mines a '22. I don't think it's covered by the recall.

 

I had my blue coolant replaced under RECALL around 40,000km. Hence I should be OK for a while - 100,000km? The work did not take two days. But after a got my car back there was a 1/2 jug of coolant in the car with instructions to check coolant level and "top it up" as needed. By the time I got home from the dealer (~10km) the coolant level was well below Min. A topped it up repeatedly until the coolant jug was empty. The dealer gave me an other jug. 1/2 of it it still in my garage. Apparently it takes a while for the coolant to cover the whole system. Maybe that is were the two days come from. But unless the car is driven the coolant will not be circulated and settle. Supposedly there is a special vacuum pump to clear the old fluid out of the system. Maybe my dealer did not have it.

According to my service manual the reduction gear oil supposed to be OK till 120,000km. Inspected at 60,000km intervals. There is a loot of discussion on this forum how often this oil supposed to be changed. I am not going to take sides.
I was quoted C$334 for oil+labour tax in. Using 2 cans of Hyundai MTF&DCTF SAE 70W synthetic oil @C$79.95 each +tax. Even if one is not a DYI person, I am quite sure one can find a more economical solution for that work using your favourite mechanic.

 

mine is a 4/21 with the smooth front end
