The Essential Hyundai Maintenance Checklist for High Mileage Vehicles

Regular Hyundai maintenance is the best and most effective way to keep your Hyundai in great shape. As your Hyundai dealer, we provide a complete range of services to ensure your vehicle is always working perfectly.  These are a few examples of the types of maintenance we provide.

Blown Fuses

Most of the systems in your Hyundai depend on electricity, and they all have fuses connected to them. The fuses protect their connected component against electrical shorts. An electrical short can occur randomly or due to a fault in the electrical system. If it happens, an electrical charge will follow a random route through your vehicle.

If a fuse receives a stronger-than-expected charge, it will blow out. This protects its component from damage but also cuts it off from the electrical supply until the fuse is replaced. If one of your Hyundai’s systems failed for no apparent reason, a blown fuse could be the reason. We’ll examine your electrical system and replace any blown fuses to fix this issue.

Damaged Headlights

Headlights are essential for lighting the road at night, but the bulbs will eventually fail. A headlight bulb’s lifespan varies from 500 to 30,000 hours, depending on the type of bulb in your vehicle. If your bulbs are failing, you’ll usually experience dim or flickering headlights. A bulb’s life can also be reduced by electrical faults or other issues in the electrical system.

Our technicians will check your bulbs and replace them if they’re failing. If the bulbs are in good condition, we’ll examine your electrical system to determine the problem. A worn alternator, for example, provides less electricity than it should, and this will cause the bulbs to appear dim. We can also repair damaged wiring or jammed switches that could cause the bulbs to flicker.

Oil Replacement

High-quality oil is essential for your engine. It lubricates numerous moving components, surrounding them in a protective coating that protects against friction damage. The fast-moving oil helps to cool the engine, and additives in the oil prevent rust and break down potential engine blockages before they start. The oil slowly becomes thicker and slower, and this reduces its effectiveness.

Thicker oil affects engine performance and can cause blockages that may lead to engine damage. We prevent these problems by draining the old oil and then replacing the oil filter. The oil sump is resealed and checked for leaks. The final step is to refill your engine with new oil.

Regular services reduce or eliminate many future repairs, as our expert technicians can fix minor issues before they develop into serious problems. Contact us today at Oxendale Hyundai in Flagstaff, AZ.
