NOTE:
Always dispose of used engine oil in
an environmentally acceptable man-
ner. It is suggested that it be placed
in a sealed container and taken to a
service station for reclamation. Do
not pour the oil on the ground or put
it into the household trash.
!
WARNING:
Used motor oil may cause irritation
or cancer of the skin if left in contact
with the skin for prolonged periods
of time. Wash your hands thoroughly
with soap and warm water as soon as
possible after handling used oil.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Function of Engine Oil
Engine oil has the primary function of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the
engine.
Engine oil consumption
It is normal that an engine should
consume some engine oil while nor-
mal driving. The cause of oil consump-
tion in a normal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders.
A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder
wall when a piston moves down-
wards in the cylinder. High negative
pressure generated during engine
operation sucks some of the oil into
the combustion chamber.
This oil with some oil of the cylinder
wall is burned by the high tempera-
ture combustion gases during the
combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is
strongly effected by the viscosity
and quality of oil, engine rpm and
driving condition etc. The engine oil
is more consumed under severe
driving conditions such as high
speeds and frequent acceleration
and deceleration than normal driv-
ing condition.

CHECKING THE ENGINE COOL-
ANT
!
WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot. When the engine
is hot, the engine coolant is under
pressure and may erupt through
the opening if the cap is removed.
You could be seriously burned if
you do not observe this precau-
tion. Do not remove the radiator
cap until the radiator is cool to the
touch.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the engine
coolant should be changed by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.

Do you have a question about the Getz and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I have a Hyundai Getz 2008 manual. Been in storage out of rego.I Put a new battery light on dash come in but it will not start.
Your 2008 Hyundai Getz may not be starting even after installing a new battery due to an issue with the immobilizer system. The immobilizer light may be flashing five times, indicating a malfunction. A common problem is a faulty connection in the immobilizer ring wiring, specifically the black and white wires leading into the loom. High resistance in the plug can prevent the immobilizer from recognizing the key. A possible fix is to bypass the faulty plug by soldering the wires directly. Additionally, trying to insert and remove the key multiple times or jiggling it slightly may help temporarily.

Parasitic consume on fuse "POWER CONN & R/LP". I have 0.2 amp consumption on this fuse. I have uninstalled all interior lamps. removed radio, but there is still 0.2 consumption ???? Brand new battery wil die in 2-3 days. Brand new alternator
A 0.2 amp parasitic draw on the "POWER CONN & R/LP" fuse in a Hyundai Getz could be caused by one of the components it protects: the room lamp, audio system, or instrument cluster. Potential causes include:
1. Room Lamp – A faulty or partially stuck switch may keep the lamp circuit active.
2. Audio System – Some audio units retain memory or standby power, but a malfunction could increase current draw.
3. Instrument Cluster – A stuck relay or internal fault in the cluster could cause continuous power consumption.
To diagnose, disconnect each component one at a time and monitor the current draw to identify the source.
