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 specifies 10,000 miles or 12 months. LM	10,000 miles or 1 year	£80–£120 Dealer: £150–£220
Air filter Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Check more frequently in dusty conditions. Restricted air filter affects fuel economy and performance on GDI engines. LM	20,000 miles or 2 years	£25–£40 Dealer: £50–£80
Cabin pollen filter Replace every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Located behind glove box. Blocked filter reduces heater/AC efficiency and can cause musty odours. LM	20,000 miles or 2 years	£15–£30 Dealer: £35–£60
Fuel filter Replace every 40,000 miles on diesel variants. Water contamination and poor fuel quality accelerate filter blocking. Change more frequently if using biodiesel blends. LM	40,000 miles or 4 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £120–£180

Periodic maintenance

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

Service item	Interval	Typical cost
Spark plugs Replace every 40,000 miles on GDI engines. Use OEM specification plugs only. Incorrect plugs can cause misfiring and carbon build-up on direct injection engines. LM	40,000 miles or 4 years	£120–£180 Dealer: £200–£280
Brake fluid Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces boiling point and causes internal corrosion. Use DOT 4 specification fluid. LM	2 years	£60–£90 Dealer: £100–£140
Coolant flush Replace coolant every 60,000 miles or 5 years. Use OEM specification ethylene glycol coolant. Mixing coolant types can cause corrosion and seal failure. LM	60,000 miles or 5 years	£80–£120 Dealer: £130–£180
DPF forced regeneration Diesel variants require regular motorway driving to maintain DPF. Urban-only use causes DPF blocking. Forced regeneration needed if DPF warning light appears. Prevention better than cure. LM	500 miles	£100–£150 Dealer: £180–£250
