Hyundai Palisade Oil Leak - Don't Wait, Call Them Today!

[@kpamittan1]

Thanks for posting this video and talking about your experience with this bad situation... 2021 palisade, 72k miles and started to experience problems around 68k. I drove a little over 1k miles, 3 different times during the oil consumption test and went from a full tank of oil down to about 2 quarts left. The dealership here in CA has filed the paperwork with Hyundai to do an engine change. It's been about 5 business days and the work has not been approved yet, but will update with any changes.

[@CoderMan]

Hope it gets approved!

[@elise1017]

I paid way too much money for this vehicle to be dealing with this! It makes me feel better to hear it’s not just me ( although that’s terrible that so many people are going through this). The dealership I work with have been jerks. This is my last Hyundai! I always thought they had reliable cars but boy, was I wrong! Thanks for sharing, your information really helped.

[@elise1017]

And I’m also in Massachusetts

[@CoderMan]

Which dealer, if do mind sharing. Its crazy they think we all live in a bubble.

[@samrmills]

Thx for the update. Sorry it turned out this way with the results and everything the dealership/hyundai is saying. We’re glad we traded our palisade in halfway through the testing process afraid the results would’ve been similar to yours with no guarantees

[@CoderMan]

Yah, smart move trading it in!

[@RedMenace760]

So I'm currently doing my oil consumption test, my local dealer in La Quinta California told us that there have been several Palisades traded in for this same issue. Which isn't exactly something I want to hear as a current owner. However, I have a buddy who owns one and they replaces the motor! Hard to believe, but still it was done and burned just over a quart 1k miles. I take mine in this weekend. We'll see what the results yield.

[@CoderMan]

Interesting! My dealer pretends its not a problem at all...

[@dc5duben96]

wow thanks for posting ur experience i will consider this when looking for my next vehicle

[@CoderMan]

You are very welcome, hopefully, it saves you some headache.

[@anthonythompson4718]

I understand where u are coming from I have the same issue… I absolutely love my Palisade they are reliable that is a fact! I keep oil In my garage and I check it regularly no big deal between oil changes.. it’s a great truck but nothing is perfect look at what those poor people are dealing with from Toyota..

[@CoderMan]

Seems nothing modern is as reliable anymore.

[@darnellstewart9297]

I’m in Florida, I have a 2020 Palasade with the same problem. Trading it also.

[@CoderMan]

Smart to trade it in.

[@darnellstewart9297]

@ I just had a mobile mechanic check it out this morning. The truck is shooting the oil through the exhaust. It has bad rings or something.

[@bahjaa347]

I have the same problem I am in New York twice my car has no oil at all was dry and no oil sign come up .i thought in was the only one have this problem but after some research I found that a lot of people have the same problem .

[@CoderMan]

Sadly, you're aren't alone in this one.. I wish it was an isolated issue.

[@andrewbock3203]

Yup!

[@E85_STI]

The oil light genie lamp is for oil pressure so even though the dipstick is dry the oil pick up is still submerged but the issue you run into is when you take a turn or punch it and the oil sloshes and the oil pickup gets a dry spot and you score the bearings and or break something. You don’t ever want to see that light turn on. The dipstick being dry doesn’t mean the oil pan is empty though.

[@brianh2321]

Just got the same issue, 62k started having idle issues…started reading these reviews and discovered I had no oil left! Crazy

[@NormanArroyo]

Found your video looking up issues with the Palisade. My Pali is currently being diagnosed at the dealership. I’ve observed excessive oil issues with our pali but didn’t real look into the issue with the stealership. Right now it’s in there for starting issues. It’s a 2020 Limited with 75k mi. What I’m experiencing is after pushing the start button it take 3-5 seconds for the car to engage the starter. One time it didn’t start until after 4 attempts of the starting cycle. Hoping to hear back from the dealership that they know what the issue is and it’s repaired under warranty.

[@CoderMan]

Interesting, i've never seen the non-start issue. Thats a new one. That does sound like a starter, but honestly these vehicles have so many systems, its near impossible to guess whats wrong.

[@elantra45]

I was losing a quart of oil every 5000 miles in my 2021 Calligraphy. I switched to a different brand of oil and my oil consumption seemed to stop at about 20,500 miles. My oil loss turned out to be from evaporation as my oil catch can was always full (7oz). Last oil change I did 2 days ago my dipstick was still at full mark at 7500 miles and my catchcan only had 1oz of oil.

[@CoderMan]

Interesting. Which oil did you switch to?

[@elantra45]

@@CoderMan I lost a quart of oil using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Amsoil signature series. When I switched to Castrol Edge was when the oil loss stopped.

[@CoderMan]

@@elantra45Interesting. Hadn't thought about changing oil brands.

[@AustinCriner]

Maybe some of these dealerships are putting in the wrong flavor of 5w30 in our Palisades. I am due for an oil change, checked my oil, and no oil on dip stick. 80k mi on my 2020.

[@reidyrodriguezrodon4280]

2020 hyunday with 92000 miles having the same issue here

[@CoderMan]

Way more miles, but still shouldn't happen...

[@horacewilley8728]

I am going threw this now I have to go back in a thousand miles. 2020 in PA.

[@CoderMan]

Curious how that process goes for you.

[@newnatural6778]

I am very disappointed that this is how it ended. Im going throught the same thing. I will save all of my paperwork for the class action lawsuit. From ca ...fyi. i am messaging with a lady from another state with the same problem. We are in a palisade facebook group.

[@CoderMan]

Definitely give them a call, even to have it documented.

[@joelopez8965]

What's the name if the Facebook group. Same thing happening to us.

[@niinabiina7147]

SAME HERE in CA! 2020 Palisade

[@ernesto-homeloans8071]

What's the Facebook group called? I took my Palisade in after two 1000 mile intervals and now they took it for a few weeks....hoping they rebuild the engine. Would love to join the group

[@brianh2321]

Same issue with my 2020, 62k, was having idle issues then discovered that my dip stick was dry, added 5qts and the idle issue is gone just like the car is about to be

[@CoderMan]

Careful, it will drop again. Just keep an ear on it. We put 2Q last night...

[@Grittyfifty]

i had my engine replaced for santa fe 2017. as it was burning lots of oil. i had to go through oil consuption test.

[@CoderMan]

How long did they make you go through the consumption test?

[@Grittyfifty]

@@CoderMan depends on driving how many kms you drive. Because you have to travel 1000kms and go back to dealer they check oil level and fill up oil. Every 1000km going back to dealer is done about 6 times. Once they determine its buring lot oil. They send request to hyundai for new engine and they replace it. For me it took 4 months

[@fullauto2006]

Same thing. Havent finished the consumption test yet. Whats the point of a hyundai spec, when it fails the spec, and do nothing?

[@CoderMan]

I kinda agree, but sadly there doesn't seem to be another option.

[@RWD1225]

just curious whats the update from this ?

[@CoderMan]

Sadly nothing good, dealer sold and we are back to square 1 with Hyundai...

[@tommyguns9780]

Did anyone have white smoke when starting ?

[@CoderMan]

No white smoke

[@brianmiller1574]

I have 2020 white Palisade Ultimate with 123000km and just know this that oil that was change 4 weeks ago and was right on the full dipstick now is below min. I was shocked. I also know this engine shaking weird. I have been driving Hyundai since Pony, then years back first model of Sonata Hybrid, 2x Genesis Sedan Tech editions and now Palisade and 2021 SnataFe all brand new. I went to dealer the other day and just like you, they tested and added oil and said its all good, I am furious how they deal with issues. I am strongly considering get rid both of my Hyundai's and go different brand. Disappointment is understatement, most likely I will never purchase that brand again and I will let perspective buyers e.g friends, family co-workers to stay clear from Hyundai.

[@CoderMan]

Yup.. they really don't deal with anything, just hope you go away...

[@brianmiller1574]

@@CoderMan Just got rid of mine, traded for Toyota, not that they don't have their own issues, but I will give them a try. I really got tired how Hyundai's lately started to cut corner with their cars. My 2017 SontaFe Ultimate XL which I sold it few years ago transmission was slipping pretty bad at just over 100K and they couldn't ever fixed it, I let that one go, but this time with my Palisade that was the last straw I wont put up with. Good luck with your vehicle.

[@joelopez8965]

Bro im im the same boat here in south texas. Dealer keeps telling me for me to contact hyundai 😢 im almost done paying for it😢😢

[@CoderMan]

Sorry to hear that. Contact Hyundai?

[@joelopez8965]

@@CoderMan no. But I will.

[@hemp7595]

I called Hyundai corporate today and did some online research. Most brands now have an oil consumption allowance of 1qt/1000 miles. The lady told me if it isnt eating more than that, there is no issue. Even after 4 tests if it fails they will just do a cleanout of the engine, then do an oil change, afterthat you do 1 more test at another 1000 miles. If it fails again then the dealer can begin the warranty process for an engine change. Not sure why brands are making vehicles that wat oil so fast, but i might consider an electric car. Or change the oil every 4000 miles instead of the recommended 7500. Or try a heavier oil.

[@CoderMan]

It does seem more common sadly. I would try different oil weights (research some options) and of course more frequent oil changes or at least top it off. Cheap insurance.

[@bigwaynz1]

My Dealer said its the oil Housing. Which the part cost $300.

[@CoderMan]

Interesting. Did that solve it?

[@Lethal_Venom]

That's unfortunate but I'm not surprised either

[@CoderMan]

All companies are the same. Time to shop at least, rates are horrible though..

[@Lethal_Venom]

yeah buying now sucks a lot and does not look like its going to get any better

[@nashaskander7938]

Same problem Kia Telluride 2020, and Kia intensions are to do nothing about

[@CoderMan]

Yup, that seems to be the trend.

[@idk19999]

I just got my oild change on my elantra hybrid all seems good with it so far just 16k miles. but while there i saw a lady with a palaside aswell, who's car was burning oil lile your or worst from what i over heard it was 1 wuart every 700 miles. They just told her keep bringing it in to top it off every 1k miles, what s joke....

[@CoderMan]

Yup.. That is the "official" word from Hyundai... its insane.

[@jaramieblack3310]

Did you guys end up trading this in? I hate you are having this issue 😢

[@CoderMan]

Still own it, hopefully can trade it soon. Still burning oil.

[@patrickthompson7550]

That’s BS. I having same issue. Fight ‘em please let us know what corp says

[@CoderMan]

We're trying...

[@TheMedal20]

My 2019 Sonata is burning 3 to 4 quarts every 1,000 miles. The car only has 67k miles and I've had the oil consumption procedure done. The car still burns oil and Hyundai won't do anythingto help me out. Never buying a hyundai again. The motors are garbage

[@CoderMan]

We won't either.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Bro, put a quart of oil in. It's not that difficult and take 30 seconds. What's the big deal?

[@CoderMan]

Sure let me do that every 1K or better yet have my wife need to because she drives the kids around. Not about difficult, it's about an unreliable product and highlighting that.

[@ozzstars_cars]

@CoderMan valid point. I was just busting your balls. I'd be pissed off too! I am curious did you buy the car brand new? If so when was the first oil change done and was the proper engine break-in procedure followed?

[@CoderMan]

@@ozzstars_cars Heh. No worries. Bought new, proper interval followed. Zero issues appeared prior to around 45k miles.

[@ozzstars_cars]

@CoderMan I did the first oil change on my wife's new '24 Caligraphy at 3100 miles. That oil was black and dirty as night. I would never ever suggest the 7500 mile manufacter recommendation. Especially anything over 5k miles max, and that's using pure synthetic oil.

[@crrppr8809]

Oh no, I have a 2021 Pali with 32,000 miles with a half of quart issues every 4,500 miles. I hope it doesn’t get worse. Because this is my wife’s vehicle as well. I don’t won’t her to deal with it as you are in the same situation. Anyway keep us posted on your situation. Wish you the best.

[@maisyray]

Well We too have had enough! I have done all of my oil changes and have been monitoring the oil consumption between changes. Ours now burns 2.5qts every 5k miles. i have been adding Lucus Oil High Milage stabilizer to keep valves from rattling like a truck. I too don't want to keep reminding my wife to check her oil on trips without me. Had to Zip tie an extra quart in the engine bay for emergencies. As much as i'd love to drop in an LS. We ARE Done! Posted it today on Facebook. Extreme Love, Hate relationship with this car. I nursed our to 85k. Taking it to CarMax next week if it doesn't sell. Godspeed!

[@CoderMan]

LS would so cool but I get just dropping it. We are close to 80k and it's 2nd use car now.

[@AllTerrainNation]

This has been such a mess man...

[@CoderMan]

Yah... I'm still in shock Hyundai refuses to acknowledge the issue.

[@charlesyork1545]

So I just want to put my 2 cents in. I have commented on a few of your videos because I feel like there is a misconception here about new cars with lower miles should not be burning oil. This is false ever since the EPA regulations and emission laws cars from factory have a "expectable oil consumption rate". This is brand new folks and not just from Hyundai but Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, Honda and etc. Further more these " Oil Change intervals" these manufacturers come up with are insane I was always told 3000 for conventional oil and 5000 for full synthetic and i never reach these numbers because I always considered these numbers to be a stopping point not a sure thing. Now manufactures are pushing cars 3000 - 5000 on Conventional and 7000-10000 on Synthetic and people follow these recommendations because they don't know any better so they can charge you for everything that breaks. I understand these cars in particular have been proven to have oil consumption issues so I am not speaking of this car per say but I can say I had a 16 Genesis Coupe 3.8 which has basically the same motor just not running the Atkins cycle up to 135000 miles before I traded it in burned a little oil maybe a quart every 3000 or so but nothing crazy. All I am saying is I think people are miss informed on what a appropriate time to change your oil is along with other normal maintenance time frames. I mean how many of you are changing your coolant every year or so and not just trusting the dealer to do it when they will push it to 36 months. PS: please don't go to your dealer to get your car work done it is the a huge waste of money and time.

[@CoderMan]

Appreciate your perspective. First new vehicle that i've had this issue. Owned about 10 others so I wouldn't be so quick to say its normal, more like being normalized. I do also agree on not going to your dealers for service. Under warranty you really don't have an option.

[@Paintball1212]

If it's not Toyota or Honda don't buy it.

[@CoderMan]

100% agree. Those will outlive us.

[@johnxiong9034]

You get what you pay for. Get a toyota highlander.

[@CoderMan]

We tried, ADM was INSANE!

[@johnxiong9034]

@CoderMan okay good luck.

[@nachoseventen]

My pali lost 2.5 quarts between services. Pretty scary. I do mostly street driving, little highway. GOOOOO HYUNDAI 😅

[@CoderMan]

That's a lot!

[@nachoseventen]

Hyundai just told me that the loss 1quart of oil per 1k is normal. I'm 50 years old and have a bunch of cars. I've never heard of this. So services are every 7k miles. That means by the time I get the next service done I would be complicit of oil!! People thinking of buying Hyundai please do your homework.

[@CoderMan]

That part confused me too. They need to fix this or change the interval.

[@nachoseventen]

The service writer said the same thing. But really Hyundai needs to get those motors built correctly. From what I can tell the oil is passing through the rings. Never again will I own a Hyundai and neither anyone in my family, I’ll make secure of that. 😢
