Your Hazelwood Hyundai Tucson has it all: bold styling, reliability and affordability - AND a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty. It has been engineered for years of driving pleasure, but like a pet, which is similar to having a child that doesn't grow up, it will still need care and maintenance in order to carry you and your loved ones about on your daily journeys. In order for it to be at the ready, it needs proper maintenance. That's where you come in.

Making sure your Hyundai Tucson is properly maintained is your job. Sure, you may not be turning a wrench, but you still have the responsibilities to take care of your CUV. You do that by making sure to follow the Maintenance Service Schedule in the Tucson Owner's Manual. Hyundai Motor America has made a menu that lays out what maintenance needs to occur, and when.

It's quite a list, but it's not exactly heavy lifting. Probably the most important of these is the oil and filter changes that need to occur every 6,000 miles. Oil is the most important component inside your engine. Coolant is probably second most. Gasoline is third. But they all need to work in concert with all the other components found in the Hyundai Tucson, as well.

The service schedule for the Hyundai of Hazelwood Tucson is made up of a bunch of 6,000 mile slices. An oil and filter change will occur at each interval, along with the replacement of the in-cabin air filter. Finally, at the very least, rotate your tires so they have a chance to receive equal wear from wherever they are placed on the vehicle. Under this schedule, expect to bring your Tucson in at 6,000, 12,000, 18,000, 24,000, 30,000 miles, and so on, for as long as you own your vehicle.

During alternating 6,000 mile intervals, at 12,000, 24,000, 36,000 miles and so on, there are many other checks that must be completed. They range from fuel lines and cooling hoses inspections to examinations of pads, calipers, rotors and other braking components. Also on tap are inspections of the muffler systems, batteries, air conditioning refrigerant, axle boots, driveshafts, and other components that will keep your Hyundai Tucson driving like new.

Oil. Tires, Filters and more. You already know that your Hazelwood Hyundai Tucson operates perfectly well on conventional motor oil so why would you spend the extra money for synthetic oil? The answer is quite simple: It lasts! Synthetic Oil has a longer life, and can work well in high temperatures, while at the same time battling the effects of thermal breakdown. And it is perfectly matched to the high-performance engines found in today's vehicles. Additionally, your Hazelwood Hyundai Service Mechanic will replace the old oil filter with a new one that will be able to trap dust, dirt and debris before it has a chance to enter the engine.

While your Hazelwood service mechanics are looking up at the downside of your Hyundai Tucson, they will be inspecting other serviceable items on your crossover, too. It's at this time they will rotate the tires, so that all four will hopefully receive the same amount of mileage at all four corners, as described in your Owner's Manual. If your Tucson parts have worn out earlier than anticipated, don't worry: the Hazelwood Hyundai Parts will stock all the necessary items needed for your Hyundai.  As we always say, your mileage may vary.

Stopping power: Your Hyundai Tucson CUV is equipped with brakes which should give you many miles of stopping power. Their lifespan depends on how hard you or other drivers will apply the brakes. With less aggressive action, they will last a lot longer than if a driver were always in a hurry to get somewhere, only to slam on the brakes as they got closer to the car in front of them. Brakes are so critical that they should be checked during every oil change service. They have even been designed to make a high-pitched squeak that occurs when applying the brakes. If you hear it, that's a sign the brakes are trying to tell you that their time is up.But don't let it get that far. The squeaking means there is metal to metal grinding going on, and a high-dollar repair job is usually next. At the first peep, get on in there!

Drift King. Do you ever notice your Hyundai Tucson gently drifting to the left or to the right while you are trying to keep it on the straight and narrow? That's a good sign that your Hyundai Tucson is in need of an all-wheel alignment. It's an easy fix to have your Hazelwood service technician perform an all-wheel-alignment to get your Hyundai Tucson back in gear again. Think of it as a visit to the Chiropractor for your vehicle. Your Hazelwood service technicians recommend an alignment service at least once a year, or more, as necessary. But first, we strongly suggest having the tires balanced and rotated first, before getting aligned. That way they are balanced and placed in their proper position before a final alignment is achieved.

Your Hyundai of Hazelwood Tucson is equipped with a modern sealed automatic transmission that does not require maintenance. But while performing a multi-point inspection, your Hyundai service mechanic will check to make sure the transmission fluid is at the proper level during your 24,000, 48,000, 72,000 and 96,000 mile services. For best results bring it to the service professionals at Hyundai of Hazelwood, for a quick check today.

Tires: Your Hyundai Tucson tires are perfectly matched to its chassis and handling characteristics. That's how it manages to give you such a good ride that is well controlled. Keep them aligned, inflated, balanced and rotated (not to mention free of punctures too), in order to get the longest lives possible out of your tires! Try our Lincoln penny test, once a month and you should never have a problem. How does it work, you ask? Simple. And the best part is it will only cost you one cent! A shiny penny featuring our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, is simply placed head-first into the tire tread. If the treads nearly cover his ears or even his neck, you have plenty of tread depth. On the other hand, if Abe's head is visible, your Sonata is due for new rubber. Our Parts and Service department at Hyundai of Hazelwood will have the perfect replacements for your Sonata. If we have said it once, we've said it a hundred and one times, President Lincoln wasn't bald. Your tires shouldn't be either.

Windshield Wipers: Are the best things and the worst things. Watching new wipers cutting a swath across the windshield, sweeping the water away is a feeling that can't be described. It's Nirvana. On the other hand, having wipers with no wiper fluid or where they just smear and leave splotches all across the windshield can be equally annoying and frustrating at the same time. Exposure to extreme heat and humidity can cause them to break down, while extreme cold has the ability to make them brittle and hard, which could cause them to break down, after a time. That's why we recommend changing to a new set every six months. If you find yourself in this situation, the Hyundai of Hazelwood Parts Department will have replacements for you today. If you need to find us, Google "mechanics near me" and there we will be!
