Hyundai Palisade Oil Interval: Don't Waste Your Time!

[@andyffox1977]

Found this playlist while researching about my girlfriend’s 2020 Palisade. She started the oil consumption test process at about 80k. The last result at 93-94k was 3qt in 1000 miles. Hyundai tried everything (UV due to check for external leaks, combustion chamber cleaning, replaced oil pan and filter mount gasket). It took 13 oil consumption checks, but it’s at the dealer now getting a new engine installed under warranty.

[@CoderMan]

Wow I'm glad to hear a dealer actually took the problem seriously! Let me know how the replacement goes. I'm curious.

[@andyffox1977]

New engine is in, we had the car one day, noticed a coolant smell after driving it home. I added about 1/3 gallon of coolant and It’s back at the dealer to get that checked. Overall the experience was decent so far.

[@CoderMan]

@@andyffox1977Glad you got it back. Hope the coolant issue is a not a big one. Thanks for keeping me updated on it.

[@elantra45]

The problem is due to the strict emissions standards low tension piston rings are used to reduce friction and increase MPG's. During engine break in the rings may not get seated properly allowing oil to get past the rings. I was losing about 1qt every 5000 miles on my brand new Palisade.. At 10k miles my oil consumption stopped. Every 5k miles my dipstick is now exactly on the "F" mark. No more oil loss.

[@CoderMan]

I wish that were the case for us, however its still showing the problem at 60 miles.

[@CoderMan]

@@RWD1225I have not had the PCV valve changed?

[@bml33]

That's an interesting hypothesis. Low tension rings to reduce friction. I think that the rings must be part of the problem, maybe low tension = weaker quality. Don't forget, the GDI system sprays fuel into the cylinder at very high pressure. These engines need strong high quality piston rings in the build.

[@fredsmith7797]

Keep the reports coming. I will give you all the information on my transmission seepage problem.

[@CoderMan]

Thanks, will do! and look forward to learning more about any transmission related issues.

[@AimsSoJo]

I have a 2020 palisade just under 60k. And have this same issue. Only thought to check the oil because my husband found your videos. My palisade is burning about 6qts in 3k miles, so I'm not making it from oil change interval to the next. Called Hyundai, they opened and escalated a case. And admitted that nearly every other call is about this issue. Hopefully will have resolution soon. In the meantime, driving with a funnel and quart of oil.

[@CoderMan]

It's sad that Hyundai is acting like this isn't an issue. I hope they change their tone soon.

[@AimsSoJo]

@CoderMan They asked when opening my case what resolution I wanted. At very least we need go know when the oil is low.. 2nd my engine has grinded metal on metal a handful of times this last year because of this issue so check and fix whatever issues. And replace the motor.. we shall see what happens.

[@CoderMan]

Same happened to ours. It was metal on metal at least a few times. Going for our next check this week, hoping this saga is over soon!

[@GhostG70]

Me and my wife bought our 2021 Palisade Calligraphy brand new in 2020. We get free oil changes through our dealership every 5k-6k miles. This April I was getting the truck washed, and noticed the truck shaking really bad (69k miles). Checked the dip stick it was bone dry. Took it to the dealership, (truck was burning oil) they said it’s a known issue. They said the engine will need replacement. 4 months with a rental provided from the dealership, and multiple calls to Hyundai Corp the new engine was installed (no charge to us) and they reimbursed me for the last few payments. Car is paid off, and we have warranty up until 125k. It was a headache but the truck seems great now. The dealership said the earlier models are the ones with the issue.

[@CoderMan]

Its nice that Hyundai took care of it!

[@electraglide22]

Thank you for this. Our new Palisade was a quart low when they delivered it. The service manager argued with me, and denied it was a quart low. I added a quart. Now at 1,000 miles, it’s a quart low. I can imagine what a headache this is going to be. My ‘07 Azera has 125K miles on it and has not burned a drop of oil.

[@CoderMan]

Glad you caught it early! Keep on them, its partially the dealer being unwilling but its likely on corporate not allowing them to acknowledge it.

[@anthonythompson4718]

Ok. Great video. I just bought a 2021 Palisade se with only 15k miles I love this truck I will definitely check it every 1k miles no big deal. If it needs oil I will just add it.

[@CoderMan]

Right on! Overall the vehicle is good, adding oil is annoying but not impossible to keep on.

[@gwd1974]

My wife's Hyundai Tucson is now doing the same thing but it does have 133,000 miles on it started using the Lucas oil stabilizer stop leak to help slow down the problem

[@CoderMan]

133k miles I could see maybe some minor issues, but even still, it shouldn't be a big problem. The reality is with these cars, it is.

[@AimsSoJo]

Any more updates on your oil consumption issue? Went in today for my oil change and to start the clock for the consumption test. Never guess what my dealership did?! Overfilled the oil. Normally 6.9qts (round to 7). Today I got charged for 8! So no matter if i burn 1 qt or 2, its still going to reflect 1qt or roughly thereabouts. You were 100% accurate to title this video "dont waste your time" cause thats all this is turning out to be. Maybe try my state attorney general....

[@CoderMan]

That's terrible! I just got our 3rd test done and will be posting a video this week.

[@johnmuscaro6744]

Same issue bro with our 2020. Not normal. 5 year 100,000 warranty on powertrain. Our dealer is telling us the oil pan is leaking and trying to charge $481 for the repair.

[@CoderMan]

I would get a second opinion, i've seen zero spotting on our driveway.

[@briano4698]

2018 sonata engine lower end failed at 65k miles. New engine replaced under warranty 2021. "Life time warranty" on lower 1/2 of engine. Now, this engine is burning oil, 60k miles. Was none, now 1 quart q 3k and seems to be getting worse. This is not just a issue with the Palisade

[@CoderMan]

Thats too bad, seems to be common with many vehicles. Not even limited to Hyundai, from the comments here.

[@oltex100]

2020 Palisade that was doing the same thing -oil consumption. After we brought the car in for the initial assessment and oil change - low and behold we had a sudden and significant leak after that trip to the dealer. I didn't even present to the next appt. because I knew they were going to tell us we had a leak and quote us an extreme cost for the leak repair. I rolled under the car in my driveway, tightened the bolts that were strangely loose and the source of this sudden leak: we sold the vehicle to carmax a week later. Not buy Hyundai ever again.

[@CoderMan]

It sounds like that dealer did you dirty! That is messed up.

[@Maddog29]

1K every 1000 miles for oil consumption may seem normal to them but not to everyone else. I know I do not in any vehicle.

[@CoderMan]

Agreed! It's definitely not normal.

[@maisyray]

I have this exact issue with mine and I'm at 70k. Just randomly checked my wife's car and NO oil showed on the dipstick but NO light on the dash either. PISSED ME OFF! Seen too many of these videos and I'd be screwed as I do my own oil changes. now I'm checking it every 3 weeks and have a reminder on my phone so as not to blow my wife's motor. and my $50k investment.

[@CoderMan]

Same here! I had to set a notification to stay on top of it.

[@dave22387]

run some valvoline restore and protect to loosen up those rings

[@CoderMan]

Thanks, ill look into that.

[@passion830217]

My 02 Camry (185 k miles) burns about 1 quart oil highway speed, but burns almost none city speed. I guess it is best if you can drive the 1000 miles highway and have it checked by your dealer.

[@CoderMan]

Most of the miles on this vehicle are highway, didn't really make a difference. At 185k miles I would expect some kind of leakage or burn. Not so much at 50k when this started.

[@jeepbikerun]

I bought a 2021 Palisade in September of 2020. The car today has 50,000 miles. The dealership told me I had to bring in the car every 3,500 miles for an oil change, which I have done. I'm guessing I wouldn't know I was burning "too much" oil because of how often I get the oil changed. Recently, Bluelink notified me that based on my driving habits I don't need an oil change until 7,500 miles. Based on what you're saying I won't have any oil in the car. Yikes! How did you figure out you were burning so much oil?

[@CoderMan]

The engine will attempt to shut off. Thats really the only way you'll know there is a possible problem.

[@benmartinez1405]

My wife's 2020 just started this today, well got noticed today. Because it was bone dry. Had to have it picked up from the side of the road and it's actually still on the trailer. It's not looking good with anything I've read from everyone! Any updates on the lawsuit..?

[@samrmills]

I think it was dismissed

[@CoderMan]

Seems to have been dismissed but word another might occur. As more people are exhibiting the issue.

[@alisaleh2509]

i used 10w40 oil and oil consumption slowed down a lot and now im using 20w50 conventional oil and oil burning stopped for the last 3k miles. this engines seems to like heavier weigh oil

[@CoderMan]

Good to know.

[@556guy]

A relatives 2020 palisade has 65k miles and the dealer says it's normal. By comparison I have a 08 Ranger with 140k that doesn't use a drop between oil changes.

[@CoderMan]

Far from normal! These dealers are insane.

[@juanrodz6365]

I haven't taken my palisade, but i started to here a slight rattle, so I checked my oil dip stick and it was dry. I'm only 3500 miles into this oil. My palisade has 97k, mind you no lights of any kind came on, in my dashboard. Smh

[@CoderMan]

that is probably the quickest i've seen!

[@dankolbenschlag2188]

[@cesarpareja2002]

I have a 2020 palisade and I change my oil every 5000 miles last oil checks I charge it at 5400 miles and my oil tank was dry, dry , dry ! This is the first time since I purchase my car that I did an oil change not inside the dealer and this people show me and told me about the issue the total miles I got is 61400 miles! That’s it now it makes me think the oldest time when I do the oil change at the dealership they didn’t even say nothing to me what this was happening I wonder how long this issues been going on

[@CoderMan]

Thats probably true, heard from many that dealerships aren't being honest...

[@ChonYaky]

This is concerning! I have a palisade 2021 and i do the oil changes my self at 3500 every time, add 6 qrts of oil everytime and when its time to do oil change again i only get about 4.5 qrts of it. It started to worrying me since the car its about 30k miles and it is defenetly not normal for a car with this low mileage. I really dont know what to do here. Should we a lawyer or something to sue Hyundai.

[@CoderMan]

At this point just contact Hyundai, its possible they can help. The dealers seem reluctant.

Having the same issue with my Palisade- I’m over 100,000, did 2 1,000 oil check now they have my car for over 2 weeks waiting on a part for the next step- I’m wondering if this is going to be a waste of my time to find out they can’t get the part to do the next step!

[@CoderMan]

It is definitely a painful waiting game, but parts are a challenge these days.

[@2010sio]

Wow!!!! I have the same issue. My wife took her car to the hyandai dealership for an oil change and it's free but there's no such thing these days. There's a price to pay for everything and it's a business at the end of the day. I'm saying it's hard to find honest people and money can change hearts unfortunately. Is there anyone has a problem with your gear when it switches gear while driving?

[@CoderMan]

Gear switching sounds like another issue, sadly. I agree service quality has gone down.

[@fougetube]

Lawsuit waiting to happen. Just like Audi and their A4 oil consumption lawsuit.

[@CoderMan]

Yup. Sounds like it!

[@richarddu844]

[@ryanteer3289]

Personally ive experienced this same problem out of a 12 sorento we had with a 2.4 with engine replacement at 68000 miles we bought a palisade in 20 and knock on wood with 30 thousand on it i haven't encounter this yet but since new ive kept oil changes to 5000 miles and added a catch can i dont think these gdi engines can servive 7500mile oil changes and as a public service announcement change the transmission fluid beween 30 to 50 thousand but im doing it at 30 they tell you its good for the life of the car but thats not long because these transmissions as i found out they dont have a serviceable filter it has one in it but you have to drop the transmission to get to it lol so there's that

[@CoderMan]

Modern cars are impossible to work on, for so many reasons. Its like engineers sit around attempting to make things harder for no good reason.

[@briantii]

@@ryanteer3289 Our Honda Pilot was the same way with the filter. With that said almost no one ever had issues with those transmissions even in the 200k+ miles range… so it can be done. With that said, did Hyundai get it right? Who knows.

[@christopherwitalec4343]

I purchased a used 2021 Hyundai Palisade and the first time I took it to Jiffy Lube they told me it was a quart low. It only had 37,000 miles on it. I told them that was very concerning to me, and he blew it off and told me it is normal for Hyundai vehicles to burn oil. We previously owned a 2013 Hyundai Tucson, and we had to replace the engine at 101,000 miles. My wife noticed that there were many lawsuits against Hyundai regarding their engines. We love our Palisade, but I think this will be the last Hyundai we ever own.

[@CoderMan]

It is definitely concerning, I have heard that there are engine issues with some other models.

[@TrollinCrazyRussian]

Mines just over 30k and it hold level basically burning nothing but I change it at interval of 4-5k mi and first oil change was early like 2k for break-in debris removal and for like first ten k I kept Rev low and varied my cruising speed from 65-90 on highway basically never using cruise control. Mpg is 26-27mpg at 70-74mph SE TX AWD model as well. Qt per 1k is really bad. Too many people fell for 7k-10k interval meme. Old car was town car at 174k mile it doesn't burn any oil basically fill touching fill line and when I change it 5k later it's still touching fill line or like 1/32 of inch under fill line and sometime if I'm driving hard and speeding it's 1/16 under fill line and when I change oil it behave differently some premium brand will burn or evaporate more than another. Pennzoil platinum, amsoil, Mobil 1, motorcraft all behave differently but none of them even burn 1 qt per 5k. That's ridiculous bad.

[@CoderMan]

Lower interval is probably helping.

[@TrollinCrazyRussian]

@@CoderMan High interval allow oil to undergo more breakdown and become more acidic providing less and less protection to the piston rings longer you go. Especially in the initial break-in period is crucial. Also to keep rpm low by accelerating slowly for first 5k (I did that for whole first 10k) then on highway keep varying your speed from 65-85mph to avoid happy groove in the engine that happen from using cruise control at same speed for thousands upon thousands of miles.

[@DesHall]

just got a new to me palisade - took in for first service earlier than 6000 miles - i was 3qts low at oil change ! - my biggest concern is y arent lights lit up on the dash that the oil is low or something telling us to add oil to add to this its only got 38000 miles on it

[@CoderMan]

Allegedly the Palisade doesn't have a low oil light, only low oil pressure.

[@DesHall]

@@CoderMan interesting but didnt tell me low pressure either lol thanks hyundai🙄so i’d assume almost no oil shouldve set off a lower pressure number or light lol .. imo they dropped the ball and missed some bugs in the ecm / computer cause its 1 of 2 things bad calibration of computer or my new car has brain damage lol and theres clearly oil consumption abnormalities in many of these

[@BBBILLY86]

My 2008 Trailblazer with 50k mile 5.3 LS used a quart every 1,000. Wifes 2018 Mitsubishi with VSD transmission failed at 30k, her Cruze before that randomly lost 1 gallon of coolant. You would know when the heat didnt work. Her 2020 Pallisaide goes thru 3 qts oil between changes. Has 37k miles. New vehicles have been garbage for decades. All brands.
