Wow, I was not expecting to get the thorough education I received about the notion of implementing a catchcan to extend the engine's longevity.... I am so grateful for this knowledge you shared, as it helps us to further understand that modern engines don't seem to be built to last, but rather to fail and fall apart so as to pad the dealerships' wallets... Luckily, your guidance will give us many more years. Thank you so much!

[@davidcrandell6026]

Hello, Just discovered you today. Excellent video and I was happy to see someone including the oil catch can. I used to do car maintenance myself when I was younger and am thinking of doing it again. I don’t trust shops much with my car anymore. Was nice to see the different oil viscosities explained as well. One of the best done videos on KZbin I’ve seen. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@ModernDIYProjects]

You're welcome, and I will have a video coming out soon showing how to make your own catch can better and cheaper than what you can buy online so stay tuned for that.

[@rickrogers2649]

Nice job on the video! I recently bought a 2019 Tucson with the 2.4 engine. So far I'm very happy with it. I"ll be doing an oil change this weekend so this video will be very helpful. I'm a retired heavy equipment mechanic but I've never worked on a Hyundai yet so it's nice to see what's under there before hand. Thank you for sharing!

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Glad to help. My wife has over 50K miles on it so far and it has held up great. The water pump started to leak and was replaced under warranty, so no complaints.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

In this video I walk you through how to do an oil and filter change on a 2016 and newer Hyundai Tucson. It's easy to do and I also show you a few other maintenance tips along the way, including a Catch Can that I installed on this direct injected vehicle. If you have a direct injection vehicle you need a Catch Can and I explain why you will want to buy or make one of these. I will be making a future video showing how to make your own Catch Can if you want to save money so be sure to subscribe for that up coming video. BTW while filming the video I found the water pump had started leaking and I had it was replaced under warranty by Hyundai a week later. No problems since.

[@edwardmoody4253]

2016-2017 hyundai tucsons 2.0 engine take 4 qts. of oil no more.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

@@edwardmoody4253 Look at your owners manual. Mine say 4.7 qts. A very odd number I agree, but that is where the dipstick reads full.

[@ericchatelard2133]

Nice and cool. Thanks !

[@sir_frag1868]

Very well done and informative video and I'm a 30 yr mechanic. I still learn something new everyday with these new toys. Thank you for your time

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Glad to help

[@paulmathews5856]

Very detailed!

[@roryderbyshire4630]

Awesome mate thank you

[@earlkozak6538]

Great video! I always use clean oil to lubricate the gasket on the new filter. I will also usually let oil drain 4 hours so as to get a complete drain of the engine. Just my habit!

[@TubedoDerek]

Really great video. Kind of surprised he didn't talk about replacing the crush washer though.

[@31goRo]

thanks for the video can you make a video showing the crankshaft position sensor location on the engine?? 😊

[@fuzznutz7182]

A couple things a new crush should be installed each oil change. There very enexpensive. Since Hyundai choose to locate the drain at the front of the oil pan I have found up to an 1/2 quart of dirty oil can be left in the pan depending on on the incline the vehicle is sitting at. On a turbo vehicle you should always use synthetic oil. I did not hear you mention the weight oil you were using but it requires 5W30 if I remember correctly. Always refer to the owners manual or the oil cap if unsure. A turbo can get up to 400 degrees and spin up to 20,000 rpms. The oil catch can is also a must on any GDI engine but especially a turbo. It also is hooked up differently on a turbo motor using another out let and a bypass valve This not only protects the the intake the intake valves, but also the turbo and the intercooler on a turbo charged motor.

[@abdelkrimbenghanem2960]

bel tuto merci

[@RichHomieBodhi]

Hi what size are the bolts for the oil pan cover? The smaller bolts your removed to access the oil pan. I seem to have lost a bolt on the front right of the oil pan cover and now it flaps. It’s triggering my ocd lol. Are they 10mm heads? Thanks

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, they are all 10mm heads and probably metric threads.

[@RM-ub1xd]

Great info on the can. Can you tell me what is the inner diameter on the hose and connectors outlet to inlet? I bought one for my tucson but I didn't get around to installing it yet. The can is made of aluminum. What material for the nipple connection should I use? Brass or PVC? And also what kind of hose for the inlet side? Thank you. Sorry for all the questions lol

[@ModernDIYProjects]

You purchased a prefab catch can but it didn't bring any connectors or hoses? That is odd, but I would suggest for a metal can you should use a brass connector. For the hoses use fuel hoses to prevent the oil residue eating up cheap plastic hoses. For the hose dimensions I suggest you look at the hose you have currently installed. It will be stamped on the hose itself. If not then take that hose to the store with you and they can match it.

[@RM-ub1xd]

@@ModernDIYProjects well I have the same exact engine as yours that's why I asked about the hose ID. Yep that can came with the connectors but they are 1" ID which I know is too big. It's a mishimoto catch can with a bronze micron baffle. Thanks

[@kevinsheeler6]

catch can--------------------- interesting thank you

[@Voltrondefenderoftheuniverse]

Hello thank you for the video , I have a 2018 Tucson 1.6 turbo , will the oil filter you show on the video fit my car , and is it 4 or 5 quarts the engine takes ?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes, the same filter will fit your motor. Hyundai uses pretty much the same filter on all their engines. That is what the parts guy tells me whenever I buy filters at the dealer. As far as the oil goes, I suggest you read your owners manual, and then check the dipstick to see exactly how much YOUR engine will accept. I buy a 5qt jug since it is cheaper, and then I save whatever amount I do not use. My engine takes 4.3qts. Being a Turbo, yours may take 5 for extra cooling. Just check the dipstick when you fill it. You can always add more as needed.

[@Voltrondefenderoftheuniverse]

@@ModernDIYProjects ➡️ thank you 🙏🏻

[@waltereldridge9447]

I just got a 2018 Hyundai Tucson on lease and I'm having a starting problem. No warning signs. I don't know if it's in the starter or ignition system. I have a warranty but I don't know what it will cover for this problem. Any ideas you might have would be helpful.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Hyundai has a great warranty. 10 yr 100K on Power Train, and 5yr 60K on everything else, so you are definitely covered. Take it in and have them worry about fixing it.

[@md.fazlayrubby2869]

Can you tell me where I can buy the engine under cover for this model. I don't have any cover underneath my engine and I am planning to buy one.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Dealer for a new one, or Check Amazon and Ebay for used parts.

[@jakelow]

Swinging the cover panel. Genius!

[@rnatokross8746]

Yes Sir, very informative video, thanks a lot, how about a MAF sensor?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

This vehicle does not have a MAF sensor, but you can clean a MAF sensor with carburetor spray also.

[@joehyundaitech7961]

what size oil filter wrench cap did you use ?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I used an 80mm Cap

[@reinaldobarrera2047]

Can you tell me how I can change the transmission fluid to my hyundai tucson 2016? Thanks

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes I can, but it is complicated with just words. I will be making a video soon on how to do a transmission fluid change on the Tucson. Subscribe so you get notified when it comes out.

[@reinaldobarrera2047]

thanks for your videos they are of real help.

[@titomiranda1786]

El video es un exito .pero em español seria mejor

[@noredinabdulhedi3797]

Who would tell me where can i find the gearbox fill bolt for tucson 2017?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It's located below the battery tray.

[@matthewmeier7880]

Just bought a 2017 hyundai tucson 2.0, best place to buy oem oil filters?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I call around all my local dealers and ask for their best price. I generally buy in bulk, like 10 or more so I can get a discount. You can try Amazon or Ebay but they will probably be the same or higher than the dealer.

[@matthewmeier7880]

@@ModernDIYProjects thank you for the feedback, I will get ahold of my local dealer and see what price they give me!

[@grizze6715]

Would using a valve cleaner like CRC work in replace of using a catch can?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It would but you would have to do it often and that takes a lot of work. This is a passive way of doing the same thing.

[@grizze6715]

Thanks for getting back to me. I wonder if Hyundai will void the warranty if they see a catch can? That's why I was thinking of using CRC instead. Would you spray CRC right into the throttle body? I don't know which hose is the correct vacuum hose. I have the same engine.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yes you spray CRC directly into the throttle body. In fact I have a new video coming out in a few weeks that shows you how to clean the throttle body and do the valve cleaning. I don't know if Hyundai would give you any problems with the catch can. I just remove it when I need to take it to the dealer to avoid that issue. It's easy to remove and install again. Look closely at the video and you can see the hose routing that I used and you can copy that if you wish to put a catch can.

[@grizze6715]

@@ModernDIYProjects it's sad how we have to do these things because car manufactures refuse to fix it themselves. My favorite car was a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Barely put any work into it (other than basic maintenance) for 18 years before the body rusted away. They will never make cars like that again.

[@uhOhNoStability]

Hi I have the same Hyundai and I was wondering if you had any issues with the knock sensor when the oil was low?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I have never allowed the oil to get too low, so I have not had any issues with it. The only issue I have had with this vehicle is that the water pump went bad on me. Aside from that it has been a good vehicle.

[@uhOhNoStability]

@@ModernDIYProjects lucky you, I just got my knock sensor replaced bc of the recall last month and when I check the code that comes up is P0326. When I asked Hyundai for help they were asking about my oil which they topped up on when I got the part replaced 😕 so I’m just confused and worried about my car now.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I'm just guessing here but I think this code was caused by the technician changing the knock sensor. They failed to clear the codes after they did the work. If you have a scanner tool, just clear the code and see if it comes back. If you don't have a scanner and don't want to deal with the dealer, most Auto parts stores will clear the code for you. If the code does come back then they may have installed a faulty knock sensor because the PCM is reading a fault with that sensor.

[@uhOhNoStability]

@@ModernDIYProjects is it normal for the engine to make a noise when it’s faulty? When I go over a certain amount of rpm’s my engine makes a very loud noise.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Yeah, loud noises are not normal. You should have the Hyundai dealer look at that. Something is definitely wrong for it to do that.

[@310percentage]

When the dash says service due in --- miles, what's everything I need to do? Got oil & coolant. What else should I do?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Just oil. The reminder light never refers to coolant. It's always just an oil change (oil and filter change). Coolant is done every few years. Check your manual or the dealer for that schedule.

[@310percentage]

@@ModernDIYProjects thanks for info. I did oil change but dash says service needed still. Maybe a machanic has to do something to make that go away. It beeps n says service needed at first when I turn the key but goes away quickly

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It may need to be reset manually. Most of those indicators don't go away on their own. Mine does not have that warning light so I can't tell you how to do it. That must have been an update that they added because people were not changing their oil causing their engines to blow up. In fact there is a class action lawsuit going on right now because of that.

[@310percentage]

@@ModernDIYProjects oh ok. Mine is a 2016 Hyundai Tucson as well. Not sure why the service required sign pings after I added oil but I guess I'll have to search up how to manually turn it off somehow

[@ahmad.azow7]

My tucson 2013 which better viscosity in summer for my engine?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

First check the oil filler cap to see what Hyundai recommends for your engine. For Summer almost any oil viscosity will be fine, but for better mileage a 5W20 will be best. For better protection a 10W30 will be best. You need to decide what is more important to you, mileage or protection. Always use a good quality engine oil and change it often. Do not go 10K miles between changes, that is just bad for your vehicle.

[@ahmad.azow7]

@@ModernDIYProjects Thank you very much mr. For comment .but some oil sales told me for better viscosity oil is 10w40 because the weather in my city up to 40 degree .although now im using 5w30 .that 's true or false ? Thank you again my bro ...

[@ModernDIYProjects]

@@ahmad.azow7 10w40 is a very thick oil and is recommended for older cars with high mileage. If you have less than 100K miles, I would say 10W30 is good enough. 5W30 is the same because the first number is for low temp and second number is for high temp. In cold climates you want a lower first number, but in hot climates, higher is better. If you have over 150K miles on your car then 10W40 is better.

[@ahmad.azow7]

@@ModernDIYProjects yes im think the 10w40 is thick for engine and my car is 50km just !

[@gobrad]

Thank you!! I just purchased the Tucson diesel 1.7 2016 model one lady owner and it’s immaculate... however the garage stated they did a full service but following day I checked oil and it’s black... is this normal already?!? Also should I purchase the oil catcher can??

[@ModernDIYProjects]

If it's black already, they did not do an oil change. It takes weeks to get black. Also, if you want to save money, wait and in a couple of weeks I will put up a video showing you how to make your own catch can. It will be cheaper and better than buying one. I am finishing that video as we speak.

[@gobrad]

Modern DIY Projects Thanks so much for your prompt response... I’ll look forward to your video on making the catch can... thanks so much

[@phyllishillerich7241]

Also, I already have 80,000 on my engine, will that catchcan still help my engine

[@ModernDIYProjects]

It's never too late. It's like a person stopping smoking. It can never hurt to do it.

[@phyllishillerich7241]

I'd like to see that oil thing you made to catch excess oil please

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Watch this video which is where I show how to make one of these catch cans. You can see how I make it and the final product installed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5vakoafiLtkiZo

[@waltereldridge9447]

Will the catch can void the warranty??

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Technically it should not, but if you want to play it safe just remove it when you take it in and put it back afterwards. It's easy to do.

[@pfoxhound]

How many miles it was driving before oil change?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I usually change the oil every 3K miles approximately. Changing the oil is cheap insurance so I don't go too long before changing.

[@gobrad]

Great tips... why don’t Hyundai attach these?!?

[@ModernDIYProjects]

They don't include this to reduce cost. It's all about the costs.

[@loueynlv1]

Agreed....plus “NEW” cars should be serviced by your dealer. Err go the lack of info from Hyundai bc it IS all about the $$$$ generated for the shop. However... only YOU know your driving habits and what might be best for you particular vehicle. Mr. MDIY is very in touch with the nuances of these newer engines. 👏👏 VERY WELL DONE video MDIY. Keep em coming 👌😁

[@Blacklove77794]

My 2016 Tucson has been a fucking nightmare... Recall on engine The locks on the doors , I can't even open my back doors and I've taken it to the dealership theee times because of it... There is a recall on the paint job. It's doest move quick unless you put it in sport mode, it jumps and pull like thier is something wrong with the pistons in it... I have put more onto the car then what it's worth to point where I can't keep up with basics car maintenance .... I absolutely hate car dealerships... they don't care, they just give you anything and you are going to pay out for it too.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

That is the way most modern cars are made, fairly cheaply. I wont go into the negative experiences I have had with other makes as well. But that is the price we pay for these machines, and the main reason why I wont spend $70K on any fancy car like what they cost these days. That is why I have learned to do as much work as possible myself. I will mention that if your engine is bucking and shaking, change the plugs. I had mine do the same thing and problem solved. Also be sure to use an injector cleaner every few tank fulls of gas.

[@isa23456]

Use 4 quarts maximum. Do not follow the manual.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

Follow what the oil dipstick tells you. That will always tell you the truth. I always add oil slowly and check the level on the dipstick. That is what I based my statement on.

[@johnviera3884]

You have an oil filter wrench. Lol. That’s not DIY buddy

[@ModernDIYProjects]

You mean that I'm not an amateur, but DIY literally stands for Do It Yourself. How more DIY can I be?

[@fuzznutz7182]

Another note stay away from any car with a Dual clutch transmission. They are a disiaster. The current auto manufacturers as of 2013 implemented the use of these transmissions for better gas milage and responsiveness. As they went to GDI engines for the same. How ever they were designed poorly like a cheap knockoff of the ones from the 60's in the super cars. Ford is currently paying out millions for there use of them in the focuses. And fiestas. Hyundai is currently in litigation soon to be paying out millions. I own one of these Tuscons 2016 I have nearly been T boned twice at an intersection as it drops out of gear. Volkswagon to I believe is in litigation. I liken this to the Takata air bag disaster.

[@ModernDIYProjects]

I agree. I personally will NOT buy any vehicle with a Dual clutch or a CVT transmission. I will stay with the old tried and true slush box.

[@ericb950]

Cvts, dual clutch, turbos all equate to future problems. I wouldn't touch any car with any of these items, except a rental. Thanks for the information, it's very helpful when researching a car.
