Hyundai I10 service: key facts

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 itemIntervalTypical cost
Engine oil and filter
Manufacturer interval 10,000 miles or 12 months. Use 5W-30 specification oil. Change filter with every oil change. Missing oil changes on small capacity engines leads to accelerated wear.
PA/IA
 10,000 miles or 1 year
£80–£120
Dealer: £120–£180
Air filter
Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Dirty air filter reduces fuel economy and performance on small engines. Check more frequently in dusty conditions.

Dealer: £40–£60
Cabin pollen filter
Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Located behind glove box. Blocked filter reduces heater effectiveness and can cause screen misting.

Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Spark plugs
Replace every 30,000 miles or 3 years. Use NGK or equivalent specified grade. Worn plugs cause rough idle and increased fuel consumption on small capacity engines.

£60–£90
Dealer: £90–£130
Brake fluid
