Routine service items

These are the items covered in a standard service. Most garages include oil, oil filter and a basic inspection. The rest are typically checked or replaced on a schedule.

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Engine oil and filter Hyundai recommends 10,000 miles or 12 months. TB	10,000 miles or 1 year	£60–£90 Dealer: £90–£140
Air filter Replace every 20,000 miles or when visibly contaminated. Blocked filter reduces performance and increases fuel consumption. Check MAF sensor cleanliness when replacing filter. TB	20,000 miles or 2 years	£15–£25 Dealer: £25–£40
Cabin pollen filter Located behind glove box. Replace when airflow becomes restricted or air conditioning develops musty smell. Blocked filter reduces heater and air conditioning performance. TB	20,000 miles or 2 years	£25–£40 Dealer: £35–£60

Major service items

These are the big-ticket items. Miss them and you risk engine or gearbox damage. The costs are higher but the consequences of skipping are much worse.
