Oil Change Interval for Hyundai Aura

For most Hyundai Aura models, the oil change interval is around every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first.

CNG models may need closer attention because they tend to consume oil a bit faster.

Always pair the oil change with an oil filter replacement.

Whether it’s the 3.6 liters of 0W-20 oil for petrol models or the 4.8–4.9 liters of 5W-30 for diesel variants in other markets, using good quality oil and changing it regularly makes a real difference.
