The 2020 Hyundai Palisade Is Burning Through Oil!

[@robertpowell6006]

Yes I'm having the same problem. Blew a valve cover gasket within the first week of getting it from dealer. Started out with 76,000 miles in the odometer. Added 4 quarts and drove it back to the dealer. They fixed the problem. I checked the oil level when I picked it up and when I got home just to make sure. Level was fine. 3 weeks to a month later I added 5 quarts because I was also going through the vehicle feeling like it wanted to stall and not wanting to auto- shut off. Not sure where the oil is going but I have no leaks. I think we need to file a lawsuit against hyundai because from what I've read this is a major issue with these vehicles. Spent $60 extra on this for oil and I'm now due for an oil change.

[@CoderMan]

Crazy! There was/is a lawsuit but I can't get any updates on that.

[@cruzanthony9695]

This might be due to the LSPI issue they are having. Oil is getting passed the rings. I’m currently dealing with this.

[@julianlanderos2437]

Dude, this is an absolutely great video. I had the same issue with my 2020 Palisade. Wasn’t sure what it was. I thought it had something to do with either the fuel injector as coming to a stop it would hesitate. Took it to the dealership and turns out it was just low on oil The hesitation coming to a stop and the clicking noise that I heard upon accelerating from a stop, everything stopped. What a great video. I am literally going to stay on top of my oil level every other week. Glad nothing major happened from not having oil for about a week or so.

[@CoderMan]

Glad you saved the engine and hear this video helped you!

[@tavo3234]

Hey this just happened to us 2020 Palisade Limited 60,045 miles. How is your Palisade doing?

[@julianlanderos2437]

@@tavo3234 hey Tavo. Doing great! I’ve just had to stay on top of checking my oil. Since taking it into the dealership, I’ve already almost lost a quart. I bought 2 quarts the other day just to keep it on hand. A different problem now, my sunroof won’t fully shut! Haha. Have an appointment next week for that. I mean overall, I’ve been very happy with the vehicle. Just when it rains it pours. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@lowtonezf104]

I would always recommend for any modern car to 1/2 all of the intervals for preventative maintenance. The dealerships only care that the car makes it past the warranty period (all makes all models). I have a 2020 Santa Fe with the slightest oil consumption issue. 143k still averaging 26.7mpg mixed driving. Tires/brakes and scheduled maintenence

[@CoderMan]

Very good point. My old M3 had a 15,000 mile oil interval. Of course I did it every 3 to 5000 miles but you know how many people out there just following the manufacturer recommendation.

[@davidwright1653]

Purchased a used 2018 Kia Sportage LX AWD with 29,000 miles. When I took it to my mechanic for it's first oil change he praised the car but warned me to keep an eye on the oil level for Hyundai's and Kia GDI engines burn oil. Currently at 78,000 miles, use full synthetic and go though 1.5 to 2 quarts of oil in a 5000 mile interval.

[@CoderMan]

Thanks for sharing, that is scary fast for burn. We are seeing about 1/2 qt per 1k.

[@zippytechnologies]

This seems like a serious design flaw. Mine too. What is causing your issue? Ever get it fixed? I use full synthetic usually too... My Palisade is at dealership and there's no ETA to fix...

[@leolu2168]

Hyundai is saying 1qt per 1k miles is all normal. @@CoderMan

[@CoderMan]

Which is so far from normal. It's crazy.

[@kyleeden8885]

I'm having the same issue. I was back and forth between valvoline and changing it myself. Usually seemed to burn 1.5 qt every 5-7k miles. Valvoline changed at 70k, at 73k my car sputtered the same way yours did. Added 4.5-5 qts, no warning light. Just did an oil consumption test and hyundai said ALL manufacturers go by the 1qt/1k miles rule. Which is asinine and I can't believe is true. People aren't all out there changing or adding oil every week or two. The oil consumption test also just consists of them filling it out of my sight, then in 1k miles checking the dipstick. Who knows how much it ACTUALLY burned, just, "is it close to the full line? Yeah; close enough, it's fine."

[@sweatpantsclub]

Thank you. This literally just happened to me. Thing is pretty much bone dry and yet, no warning lights, no nothing. 2020 Palisade. 56k.

[@CoderMan]

Very scary!

[@hemp7595]

Great video! My 2020 Palisade acted up close to the 59,000 mile range and had the same issues at stops with rough idling (engine vibrates). Took it to my mechanic of 30 years and he replaced the damaged spark plugs, but it still had some vibration in it. In checking again he noticed it had lost 5 quarts of oil and the oil change was due in 700 miles. All previous oil changes were done at the dealer. Ive made an appointment with them, lets see what sort of runaround i get with them. Will update you.

[@CoderMan]

Hope they acknowledge the issue!

[@atlguy06]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue. I have been doing all of my oil changes up until now at the dealership and never got feedback that it was low. I have 47,000 miles on a 2020 and just did my first oil change at home. About 4.5 qts came out. It was a surprise to me, so I will be tracking this between oil changes and will note the oil amount at the next change (5,000 miles). Also, I noticed the start/stop no longer happens. It stopped happening around 25K miles or so.

[@CoderMan]

Sadly not uncommon these days

[@dc5duben96]

it no longer starts & stops? how?

[@michaelbrennan8294]

The dipstick doesn't go to the bottom of the drain pan. No reading doesn't necessarily mean no oil.

[@CoderMan]

I agree, I am more focused on the limited amount of oil and the other symptoms presented.

[@CraigLiu-hx3yo]

True, but had to add 2.5-3 quarts every 3000 miles is not right

[@flooderinc]

We bought ours year ago, model year 2021. Now it has 39k miles, we do some long road trips and we pull the 3000lbs RV trailer and it does not eat any oil so far. Hope it will stay like that.

[@CoderMan]

Hope so too!

[@JokesOnYou-zx5qx]

I started to do my own oil change after the 3 year Free oil change at the dealership. I noticed from the 7Qrt of oil it takes, only 2 1/2 came out!! I never seen this before on any of my cars. I was shock. I will keep track of how much oil per week this thing burns.

[@CoderMan]

Yah. Doing it yourself is smart so you know what you're burning. 2.5qt remaining is crazy though.

[@THEGABNER]

This exact same thing is happening to us in our 2020 Hyundai palisade. Our first oil change it was dead empty. Before our second oil change I started hearing metal on metal and took it in. We're busy with kids and work and it was just put on the back burner. I found it empty again. Let me know how it went with your dealership. Thanks for sharing.

[@CoderMan]

Sorry to hear it's not isolated to a few. Currently sitting at the dealer will update what they plan to do.

[@zippytechnologies]

My dealership in Wichita ks used to give loaners while cars we bought new from them were in the shop... They won't even ask if we need a loaner now and never have one anyhow... Now, they rarely answer the phone... Something is going on with Hyundai and their dealerships... Long long long delays for service and parts prices are astronomical lately... I need my car for work. My wife needs her car for work and kids. I'm using my ancient Mazda 07 CX-7 I never thought I'd be driving again but kept it just in case we had another car die on us for a backup since it was cheap to insure and just park in the driveway (paid off cars are hard to just get rid of sometimes, glad I didn't) ... It's got issues too, but it still drives unlike my Palisade. Crossing my fingers it stays alive long enough to get Palisade returned to me... Dealership wants me to pay $200 to diagnose the trouble since I've got 78k miles on it... I thought it was covered for 100k since I'm there original owner... Pretty upset with this car and local dealer but whatever, just figure out why it's burning oil and if it's a manufacturer defect, which it certainly sounds like from all the other similar complaints I'm hearing, then I expect Hyundai to do the right thing and warranty it and repair these cars. I've been promoting Palisade to everyone for almost 4 years now with positivity. It's a great car otherwise. Just started having engine issues around 50-60k miles that get worse over time. Only other major complaint I have is the 2020 USB power ports in car, while very conveniently placed, only pump out 1 amp and that's not enough to charge most modern phones unless they're turned off and slowly charging... My phone actually drains slowly on long car rides we take to Colorado so I have to bring an inverter with me to plug into the round dc port to use my inverter for laptop charging 120V.. it has a set of USB charge ports too and cranks out 3 amp availability so it keeps my devices charged just fine... Basically saying the cars USB ports and inverter built in are under powered and worthless... If I could find a wiring diagram I'd just replace the electronics with my own to power the ports in the car... But otherwise, very nice car... I have limited 2020 with Napa leather, tow package and just about every feature before they came out with the calligraphy version... Love the comfort... Hate it won't charge my phones and that it's burning oil.

[@Irish80]

I’m going through this exact same thing! Bought new from dealership. Lots of rattling under the car. Brought to dealership and they said oil was almost empty. No warning lights. Had oil change done. Fast forward and I’m coming due for regular oil change as per dealership. Palisade started making the noise again today. Stopped, checked and again, no oil left. How is a 2020 burning through oil this fast?! I’ve had nothing but issues with it. Transmission replaced at 70,000km (43,500 miles). 4 or 5 ignition coils replaced since I bought it. Car would stall in heave rain. Alternator replaced at about 85000 km (53000 miles). Shocks are gone and being replaced later this week.

[@CoderMan]

That is a ton of misfortune for one vehicle! I hope Hyundai is listening and will make changes

[@rieleychante]

I'm changing my alternator now at 115k and I have the same oil issue. I keep a 5qt with me in the car at all times because it burns through so much oil. I like the car but it's got sooo many issues

[@shirtlessGraveler305]

I have a 2015 Kia forte five SX that’s turbo and it does consume oil I have over 160,000 miles. I get under my hood once a week to monitor the consumption and I gotta say maybe to just keep the oil level topped off, I consume about a quart a month. I have no mechanical issues with the engine. It runs smooth, but I am a person who gets under the hood at least once a week to monitor anything related to this oil consumption I kind of suggest that’s a good thing to do especially if you have a Hyundai, especially if it’s turbo.

[@SeanMill]

Was well within my service time and my 2020 Palisade had no oil. Like you I got zero diagnostic warnings other than a metal grinding sound. Now I can only go 2500 to 3000 miles before changing.

[@CoderMan]

The grinding sound is the worst part.

[@BBQOnABudget]

My wife’s 2020 Palisade had 70K miles when it started having issues. Did an oil consumption test (laughable procedure to that by the way), and found it to burn “on average” a quart every 1100 miles. However, in one of the 1000 mile intervals, it burned 1.75 quarts. Hyundai disregarded that number, and instead would just divide 3000 miles by the volume oil consumed during the test. So in roughly 5K-6K miles, her car burns every drop of oil in it….but yet the manual states you can go 10K miles between oil changes. So far, Hyundai states her vehicle is operating within the normal specs, and doesn’t want to replace the engine.

[@CoderMan]

Same for us, 10k interval would mean no oil. Seems Hyundai is just weighing the cost to replace over any lawsuit. Hoping Consumer Reports will pick this up.

[@BBQOnABudget]

@@CoderMan Hyundai approved a combustion chamber cleaning…seems to have helped a little. 2100 miles on it since the cleaning and it’s not down 2 quarts like before. The dealership over torqued some bolts for the valve cover or head gasket and broke them so it leaked oil and went into limp mode 100 miles after the cleaning…but they’ve fixed that.

[@brianh2321]

Another victim here. Just discovered this on our 2020 at 62k miles. First symptom was a rough idle when coming to a stop and an intermittent rattle at slow speeds. Start/stop feature hasn't worked in a while, but I never liked it anyway. Thought it might have "learned" our habit of always turning it off. I finally checked the oil and the dip stick was dry. It took 5 quarts to get back to full. Have an appointment in a couple weeks to have the dealer look at it, so thank you for documenting your experience so I know what to expect and what to ask. One thing I am struggling with is the fact that no light/warning ever appeared, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to monitor the oil pressure. Do you know of an oil pressure gauge on these? We just paid this off, so we are leaning towards keeping it a while and monitoring very close to see how it goes. We really like it otherwise.

[@CoderMan]

Crazy enough this vehicle does not have an oil pressure gauge or even a low oil, pressure warning light. It's as if Hyundai just wanted it to fail.

[@austinross9504]

Ive been alil paranoid about this. I let it go for 4k miles in my 2020 palisade and it burned 2qts of valvoline. Didnt have that issue with motor crafts. Changed it with quaker state and no issues in 1200 miles. Going to change it a 3k and if it burns oil take to dealership for consumption test. Currently mine has 64k miles but i have 8 year financing and 7 years left...

[@CoderMan]

Interesting, the oil changes resulted in that much difference. Just posted an update.

[@CoderMan]

Whats strange is ours started doing it again, and it won't let me disable start/stop. So the vehicle ECU must know something is wrong, but won't throw a check engine light or low oil code/light...

[@Thisiscrazy2023]

Just bought 2024…I typically do 3k oil changes an all my cars no matter what, hopefully I don’t have issues with this one with my change intervals. I think the problem is the 7500 oil change intervals

[@Mark-rw3kw]

All of these problems started when Hyundai switched from EFI (electronic fuel injection) to GDI (gasoline direct injection) on their engines to improve fuel economy very slightly. I have a 2009 Hyundai Genesis V6 with EFI and it has never used a drop of oil the entire 15 years I have owned it. Dipstick always shows the exact same level as right after an oil change. I use Mobil 1 EP 5W-30. If my engine was using an excess amount of oil, I would switch to a High Mileage Full Synthetic 5W-30. If that didn't work, I would switch to High Mileage Full Synthetic 10W-40 (or 0W-40).

[@CoderMan]

They recommend 5W-30. We use full synthetic because of using it in my high performance cars. Better results but still burns off.

[@Mark-rw3kw]

@@CoderManIf an engine is using excess oil I would try 10W-40 or 0W-40, possibly a High Mileage version of Motor Oil.

Design flaw that dealerships are ignoring. Push for resolution or go to a new dealer.

[@CoderMan]

Oil consumption can be caused by so many things.. it needs to be checked out.

[@zippytechnologies]

@@CoderMan agreed - Hatchett Hyundai East in Wichita KS told me they went ahead and did an oil change - before the tech looked at it to mark or prep for a consumption monitoring test of some sort - so they have no answers for why or where it is burning oil. Then they said the check engine light was related to a transmission error - but instead of testing the transmission all they did was clear the code and it came right back. Their recommendation - flush the transmission fluid and wait to see if there is another error... sorta sounds like they are throwing darts with blindfolds on instead of following manufacturer recommended procedures. I asked what the mfgr interval is for transmission fluid and they said 100k miles but they like to do them at 60k miles. I have 78k miles now. @hyundai does not seem to care anymore. I was the BIGGEST proponent of the Palisade for the last 4 years - sent DOZENS of people to go buy one - and they did - and I get treated like a red-headed step child every time I go in for service.

We have a Palisade now, prior we had a 2008 Veracruz which had 3 government recalls for oil leaking onto the alternator. From what I've read in the forums people mentioned the same symptoms you did, in regards to the veracruz, and the recall was due to the possibility it could stall while driving. Anyway you seem pretty mechanical as I watched your brake video first so I'm guessing you already made sure it isn't leaking somewhere as opposed to burning the oil. Regardless maybe you can file a complaint with the consumer protection agency. There is no reason a 50k car should need oil every thousand miles. Also should mention our Veracruz had the leak and we never had oil on the concrete below it. Not sure how.

Sadly as you'll see in the comments, many are having this issue.

[@Jon-Gwen]

2021 Palisade. Purchased 3/2021 new. 35,180 miles. Change oil with severe service schedule (3,750)(frequent short trips, cold weather climate, dusty roads). Always use factory filter (26320-3CKB0). DYI. Data below: #1 Amsoil 5w30 OE synthetic. 0 quarts added #2-8 Mobil 1 5w30 full synthetic. 0.75 quarts mean average added between changes # 9 Amsoil 5w30 OE synthetic. 0 quarts added #10 Amsoil 5w30 OE synthetic we will see (just did it today), but plan to always use Amsoil as long as I own it. What I have learned: 1.Check oil frequently because if the oil level drops, the consumption rate will increase because the remaining oil will tend to have higher volatility - if you check your engine oil after check engine light or it is knocking you have probably already destroyed your engine. 2. Use high quality oil with a good NOACK Volatility Test (ASTM D5800) - like Amsoil. 3. Use severe service schedule (read your manual and it tells you what severe service schedule is - hint - it is almost everybody)

[@mehill00]

Do cars sometimes not have dipsticks now? I’ve never had a car without one (owned Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, Chevy, Dodge, Mazda, Nissan; but only Toyotas and Hyundais post 2000). Our Palisade also ran dry with no warning lights with similar stalling-or-nearly-stalling behavior at low RPMs. Crazy.

Looks to me like the diptstick would be dry if down 1-2 quarts. The dipstick doesn't go anywhere near the bottom of the drain pan.

[@CoderMan]

It should get close, but won't touch the pan for obvious reasons.

[@j83460]

Not showing on dipstick doesnt mean totally out. Think about the fill marks meaning add a quart

[@CoderMan]

I imagine it had some oil left but well under the operating range. Especially if the dipstick is dry on the first pull (accounting for splashing).

[@ri067953]

My girlfriend just started having this issue. 2020 Palisade. It would shake like it wanted to stall at a stop. Then we heard a ton of rattling while driving. On way to dealership, the car stalled. She made it in but now they are giving her the runaround of coming back every 1000 miles. Its ludicrous.

[@CoderMan]

Same exact symptoms for us. The vehicle wants to stall, but can't because its technically still running.

[@rubalsingh4200]

If car burn engine oil try oil castrol edge synthetic 5w30 high mileage or pennzoil 5w30 synthetic high mileage oil . These 2 engine oil are best if car burns engine oil

[@CoderMan]

Great suggestion!

[@crazyking50]

By the way this is true by the time you hit 7,000 miles you will have very little oil if any, my wife’s palisade does the same thing do your oil changes every 3,000 miles or sooner sheesh . One more thing well a couple, Hyundai recommends Quaker oil and you should check your oil level when the car is a normal running temperature so turn it on until it comes to normal running temp then turn it off let it sit for 5 minutes then check it on level ground.

[@CoderMan]

I usually check it after a drive, like other cars.

[@Mark-rw3kw]

They recommend Quaker State in the USA owners manual because Hyundai has a worldwide factory fill and marketing agreement with Shell. Shell owns Quaker State and Pennzoil. The recommendation is really just a paid advertisement.

[@bukory49]

I have Palisade 2021 limited. Same problem no oil warning light notification.

[@CoderMan]

Sadly. It's common.

[@zippytechnologies]

Same exact issues. Noticed oil burning off around 50k miles on my 2020 limited... I have 77800 now and it went near bone dry while doing a lot of driving in City with start stop going pretty regularly... Started hesitating on stop to idle like it was going to do the auto stop engine then restart but it kept going and eventually another out again... It finally threw a check engine code but dealership says it's for transmission and that they are aware it's burning oil but not sure why... Major recall? Who else is seeing this?

[@CoderMan]

Definitely needs a recall from just people commenting on this post... its bad. We also saw the problem with auto start/stop in fact that was the first symptom we saw.

[@zippytechnologies]

@@CoderMan but no one can seem to pinpoint the cause. Dealership refuses to start warranty work process until they know for sure their work will be covered... I had purchased an extended coverage in addition to manufacturer warranty when I bought this car new - its expired now I think and the dealership service department is just not communicating well at all nor willing to spend the time needed to really diagnose the true cause of any issue.

Ours burnt a quart of oil after 5k miles at 42k miles. Junk cars, man. Just started happening. I've seen on the forums it typically happens around 50-60k miles, but wow. What the hell? My 20 year old diesel truck with 250k miles doesn't burn a drop of oil.

[@kevinm.4784]

This is 100% true. This has now happened multiple times with our 2020 Palisade. Weird sounds and random shutoff with no warning lights or codes in the computer. Always 2 to 4 quarts low between oil changes and no drips in the garage at all. It's not leaking so where is the oil going?

[@CoderMan]

I think its just burning up, likely a bad gasket

I was going to buy a Pallisade.......I hear a lot of this excessive oil consumption and this is simply not exceptable. I have an old 2009 Grand Caravan.....200,000 miles and in 5000 miles I barely burn 1/2 quart. Not bad for a 15 yr old car.

[@CoderMan]

Not bad at all, those older vehicles run better in many ways.

[@XVRJP]

Had same issue at 70 K vehicle turned off there was no oil in there at all. Happened three times Where the oil is gone? took to the dealership 3x First time. It was a gasket second time it was part that needed to be replaced third time There was nothing found in a diagnostic and I was charged $250 because diagnostic is not covered under warranty , stated my case This is not normal and they simply said that older cars burn more oil , has been less than 1000 miles since then and I needed to add a quart of oil to bring it to full, don’t know why it’s burning so much oil or where the oil is going if there’s no leak, seems others are having the same problem

[@CoderMan]

"older cars burn more oil" is the dealer not having a clue whats happening and just blame it on age. Imagine if doctors acted that way??

[@Carmelo-u2q]

Brother I'm having the same issue with our 2021 palisade We purchased it brand new from country Hyundai and we only have 46,000 mi on it I noticed a noise sounded like very noise and we had no oil they are going to the process as we speak for the oil consumption test which I think is a bunch of BS what was the issue?

[@CoderMan]

No diagnosis, told its normal... which of course is a blatant lie.. trying to plan our next steps.

[@josegonzalez-r3u]

Same problem with my 2021 palisade 50k miles started noticing at 35k miles No engine light just knew because of the fact that it started running real rough . Stopped and it was completely dry. Hyundai still holding mine because they can’t find issue. I have my lawyers ready. I’m here in Cali

[@remingtonrojas]

I'm not sure why people buy hyundai. Only reason I am sticking with mine is the lifetime warranty. And I also top my oil once between my 5k synthetic changes.

He probably will from what I'm hearing from neighbors that also have the same car... My 2020 started having oil use issues song 50k miles.. I didn't think much of it... Wasn't much. Now at 78k it's running through the full pill change before 5k miles.

Had a 2020 Palisade Limited. At 15-17K miles it started using oil to the tune of (1) quart every 1700 miles.
