2020 Hyundai Sonata 1.6L Turbo oil and filter change

[@enricovids]

Nice video. A few comments: 1. Tech manual says to remove the "pre-drain plug" (after removing the safety pin) by rotating it by 90° to drain the oil filter before removing the oil filter cap. I guess that makes less of a mess. The size of socket for the cap is 24mm I believe. 2. You say the oil cap torque is "35 lb of Nm pressure" (which is ambiguous), to avoid any confusion for others, it is 25.3 lb-ft or 34.3 Nm torque. Also, Drain plug is 25.3-32.5 lb-ft or 34.3-44.1 Nm torque 3. You mention putting some oil on the O-ring for the "pre-drain plug" or "drain pin" (tech manual uses 3 different terms) but not putting oil on the O-ring for the filter cap. 4. Also, when re-installing the Drain plug for the oil pan, one should replace the gasket/washer for that too

[@erolfox]

#2 should be called "filter housing". Oil cap is usually the place you pour in the oil?

[@enricovids]

@@erolfox It was an omission, I meant to say "oil filter cap", the term Hyundai uses

[@chakopod]

Thank you so much for this video. Extremely helpful and succinct in breaking down the steps and tools needed.

[@rtwilliams1961]

If you pull the plastic keeper pin first the oil will drain out of the oil filter first before you remove it. Less oil mess.

[@dougn2350]

Be aware the 2.5 2020-2021 Sonata uses a different filter kit. Part# for 2.5 : 26350 2S000. It requires a 27mm socket to get the cartridge loosened. The 1.6T requires 24mm socket. The 2.5 also requires an H8 hex to remove the drain plug.

[@Mayamax3]

I have a 2020 with the 2.5. It's weird that they didn't use the same filter setup as the 1.6. Just did my first change last night. Not a big fan of plastic housings, but that's what they come with.

[@Mayamax3]

@@Rick-S-6063 I've done two changes now and it's fine, but I use a torque wrench to keep from overtightening the housing.

[@Ezrabastian]

Says in the title, this is a video about 1.6 Turbo only!!

[@robertmuster1350]

I think you have missed something in your video. There is a drain plug on the filter that should be used to drain the filter before removing the housing. Remove the plastic locator pin to allow you to turn the drain plug and drain the oil from the filter housing.

[@rtwilliams1961]

Thanks for the information. I still was able to turn the filter housing with no issues.

[@robertmuster1350]

@@rtwilliams1961 yes you can still remove the filter housing, but it will be full of oil. The drain plug allows you to drain the oil before you remove the filter housing.

[@leodavis7524]

Excellent I may start doing my own…dealer doesn’t like that because the car is still under warranty….but trying to get an appointment when you need it is ridiculous..😟

[@rtwilliams1961]

Yes...I've always done my oil changes in every vehicle uve owned since high school. I'm 59 and have never had an engine go bad because of improper oil changes. Just follow the mileage guidelines. It's 6,000 miles on the 2020 Sonata.

[@HorsePower19]

Facts…My wife is having the same problem now…Trying to make an appointment for a oil change is like trying to get a New Engine put in as it takes forever to get a time slot and we live in a Big City with multiple Hyundai Places…

[@bomatdaman]

Just curious, when you originally removed the canister off-camera, did the oil make a mess when it drained? If so, is it possible that the purpose for the pin-locked small piston on the filter is for draining the oil canister before removing it? If you remove the pin and push up or pull down on that piston, will that allow the oil drain? Otherwise, I can't imagine what that design is intended to achieve.

[@rtwilliams1961]

I have no idea why the design. It didn't make a mess when I drained it from the cartridge. I unscrewed it and some did overflow the top a little. All filters do that that hang upside anyway.

[@brianhechinger6726]

Yes remove the pin and turn that piston plug 90 degrees with pliers and pull it out. That drains the canister. Then a new piston plug gets installed in place with the new filter as shown in the vid.

[@ralphorionluna]

Yes, I just did my first oil change yesterday, and removing that pin to drain the oil canister is probably the intended procedure.

[@BarbacoaAppliances818]

Dope video Very informative Can u please make a video on 2020 sonata brake pads and rotors replacement

[@rtwilliams1961]

I don't need brakes yet but brake jobs are all about the same. Caliper clips might be different on all vehicles but brake pads are fairly easy to change.

[@krunaljrana]

For 2022 Sonata Sport 1.6L goes same Filter?

[@erickdiaz6251]

can you do a video on how to do a drain and refill transmission fluid change ?

[@davidefland1985]

I remember seeing canister type filters on old V8’s from the 60’s. Metal canister. Was a pain to change . Then they came out with an adapter for those motors so u could use the screw on type filter.

[@VanillaWahlberg]

There's literally no purpose to using these type of filters over spin on, they're more likely just cheaper to produce.

[@ahmeddahir4177]

MY GUY I APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO BIG MAN!!!!! Definitely subbing if you don’t mind dropping future videos of anything you change I have this same car!

Thank you Sir

[@ДенисДанилов-д3й]

please tell me if the filter, after being installed in the cup, stuck out of the cup unevenly and not evenly with its visible part, is this normal?

[@sirprince888]

I like how you put your vehicle purchase date on a sticker within your engine bay. What other stickers/info did you include?

[@rtwilliams1961]

I've always have done that with all my vehicles for years. Whatever repair I've done on a vehicle I put a label under the hood. Date, mileage and what repair. My daughter's cars the same. Handy, quick reference!

[@gonzaloruiz4830]

Quick question after 3 years how is the car doing any issues ???

[@ДенисДанилов-д3й]

and does it make a difference which way to insert the small plastic oil filter clamp?

[@dougn2350]

I've been curious about the new filter type on the 2020 Sonata. I'm used to swapping the all in one canister

[@rtwilliams1961]

I'm sure Fram, Mobil 1, Wix, Purolator, etc... Will come out soon with their own filter.

[@davidefland1985]

This filter is like going back to the 1960’s on V8’s. Cannister filter.

Thanks alot 🙏🏼

Hello from Azerbaijan thanks for great video i wamt ask question :in our country temperature in summer 37-44 'C and in winter max -3 ..what kindnd of viscosty i have to use to my Sonata 1,6 turbo engine here??thank you for attention👍🇦🇿🇦🇿

[@rtwilliams1961]

If it's available use what the manufacturer says . OW-20 full synthetic will work in any temperature. Today's full synthetics are formulated to work in extreme heat and cold. Castrol, Mobil 1, Valvoline, Quaker State, etc. Great oils but make sure it's full synthetic. I've been using Mobil 1 0W-20 in my daughter's Honda Odyssey van for 7 years. It's always on the full mark after a 7500 mile oil change. I use Castrol full synthetic in our Sonata.

If the temperature is +37/44 C and max -3 c can use 5w-30, this viscosity oil they use in Israel because it is familiar with the weather. oil with viscosity 0w-20 we use in Usa Ny, NJ in Florida or Arizona they use 5w-30 becuse is hot

[@sirprince888]

Is it necessary, before removing oil filter housing, to remove the pin (so oil drains before completely removing the oil filter housing)?

[@sirprince888]

Thanks for the info! Which oil viscosity did you use?

[@rtwilliams1961]

I left the pin in place also. Not much of a mess at all

@@Rick-S-6063 yup..exact same oil viscosity. 0W-20... Castrol is what I use.

[@BpTheCarMan]

What about the metal ring ?

[@rtwilliams1961]

That's a crush ring for the oil plug. It's basically a new gasket so it doesn't leak. Even though it's metal it comes with a new one in the filter kit.

[@jayryan7473]

Scott Lose a motor? How the heck would that happen? You didn't put much thought into your statement. They wouldn't design such a thing if merely losing the pin would cause a motor to be lost.

@@dougn2350 I have had that design since the first 2006 Sonata LX (V6) rolled off the then new Alabama plant first Lambda Engine with 235 HP and 226 ft-lb torque.

There is a reason I still daily drive that car in 2020. Average about 21.5 MPG regular unleaded . There has been at least one occasion I went 20K between oil changes, it still flies. Love my car.
