Maintaining Your New Napleton Hyundai Palisade

Your new Napleton Hyundai Palisade is an exciting Sport Utility Vehicle that is the class of the field. Precision built, it's an SUV designed for years of driving pleasure. But in order to achieve those years of service, your Palisade needs to be properly maintained. Think of it as defensive ownership. The first line in that defense is in the Hyundai Palisade owner's manual. In it, there is a complete list of service schedules based on mileage and time but when in doubt, the service experts at  Napleton Hyundai of Hazelwood are only a phone call away.

Interval Maintenance Made Easy

At Napleton Hyundai of Hazelwood, we have made the maintenance of your new Palisade relatively easy. By breaking it down into 8,000-mile intervals, it makes maintenance a breeze.

8,000 Miles

Once you have hit 8,000 miles on your new Palisade, it's a good idea to start maintaining your Hyundai Palisade by having us perform the following services:

• Replace the engine oil and oil filter with synthetic oil.
• Rotate the tires to extend their life.
• Inspect the air cleaner filter.
• Check the air conditioning operation and its refrigerant level.
• Inspect and evaluate the battery.
• Inspect the brake pads, rotors and fluid.
• Make any adjustments as needed.
• Top off all fluids.

This is the way to ensure that your Hyundai Palisade is always ready to go when you are. Remember, we are always ready to help you make sure that your Hyundai is maintained properly.

16,000 Miles

The next time you service your Hyundai Palisade will be around 16,000 miles. Of course, in the unlikely event that it should need service in between, call us immediately! In the meantime, here are recommendations for the 16,000-mile service:

• Change the oil and oil filter with fresh synthetic oil and a new filter.
• Rotate tires.
• Inspect the air filter.
• Inspect driveshafts and boots for any rips and tears.
• Examine fuel lines, hoses, and connections.
• Test brake system including the parking brake.
• Analyze the vapor hose, fuel tank, and fuel cap.
• Top off any fluids and inspect tires for proper inflation.

24,000 Miles

The 24,000-mile service interval for the new Palisade is not as extensive as the 16,000-mile service. Still, it involves another synthetic oil and filter change. This time you will also replace the engine air filter. Because we all yearn to breathe freely. Even your Hyundai Palisade!

32,000 Miles

Identical to the 16,000-mile service, the 32,000-mile service will again change the oil and oil filter. Rotate or replace the tires as necessary.

40,000 Miles

As you begin to put some serious miles on your Hyundai Palisade, you'll eventually need to start taking additional steps to keeping it like new. It's not an extensive service but still one that is very important. Once again, begin with a synthetic oil and filter change. And don't forget to rotate your tires.

The Hyundai service technician will complete a multi-point inspection to make sure all functions of your Palisade are operating correctly. Then it's time to get on the road again.

48,000 Miles

As you near 50,000 miles in your Hyundai Palisade, besides the traditional oil and oil filter change, it's also a good time to replace the brake fluid. Extending beyond this timeframe could cause the brake system to operate less than optimally.

Your technician will also inspect the drive belts in your Hyundai Palisade. Although you shouldn't have to replace drive belts just yet, it never hurts to keep a close eye on them. Hyundai estimates a lifespan of 60,000 to 100,000 miles depending on your driving habits and style.

56,000 Miles

This is an easier service but that doesn't mean you can skip or ignore certain issues that may occur with your Hyundai Palisade. Continue at the pace you have established with your service experts at Napleton's Hyundai of Hazelwood. This way you should continue to enjoy your Palisade for many years to come.
