Please use a jack stand with your jack. People have died when the jack failed and the car fell on them. Never go under a car without some safety back up. Great video otherwise. 👍👍👍
Let nature take its course.
Yes get out from under that car now and either use some jack stands or drive it up on some Rhino Ramps!
I fully agree. I always use jack stands. More than one just to be safe. One time last year before we go our 2019 Elantra, I had a 2012 Ford Focus SE. I was trying to do the brakes, and the caliper bolt was stuck. I was using a breaker bar on it and I pulled so hard that I pulled the car right off the jack stands while my leg was under the car for leverage. While my wife was watching. This happened to be the very first time I put the tire under the body of the car. If I hadn't done that at the very least I'd have had a broken leg. On my Rav4 I don't even need to use the wheel ramps to do the oil, but sometimes I do for extra room. My ramps are metal, but even then I use the jack stands and put the tire under the side. I have wooden ramps I made for my Focus but never actually tried out. I'm betting those are probably the safest since it's pressure treated wood. 2 x 6 stacked and drilled together with screws all over the place to be extra secure. Even then I'd still use jack stands, tire, wheel chocks, etc.
@@bubby3190 amazon reviews has some awful pics of vehicle damage and ramp breakage/splitting. Careful when using them and inspect. Grabbed Race Ramps today..expensive but the cost of services done will pay for itself
Warning! Use a jack stand to back up the jack. Put a wheel chock behind one of the rear wheels. Make sure the shift lever is in park . Crank that handbrake as far is it will go. MAKE sure that you find the proper jacking points under the unibody.
I'm trying to get into auto mechanics and wanted to start with something small on my car, this video was super helpful!
Thank you glad we can help!
Never go under a car with just a jack! They can fail, and you’re just advocating potentially fatal injury to yourself and others
Hell yeah brother thank you! Was having problems trying to figure out where to put the jack at, I have a Hyundai sonata and it has a frame all the way around versus these only have a little pinch points
I am changing oil on my 2019 Elantra SE - the most basic model out there and one of the last vehicles with standard transmission. I cannot find anywhere that tells me how to reset the service engine light after an oil change. I do not have cruise control, nor a menu button on my steering wheel. There seem to be many TH-cam videos now on changing oil on 2017-2019 elantras, but not a single one includes resetting the service engine light which I think is actually part of the job, as well as cleaning up after the job.
ALWAYS coat O-ring with FRESH oil, i prefill the filter with new oil cuts out on dry starts and blowing the media out. i have seen filter media explode inside and rip to pieces from the sudden pressure. if you want to remove metal and see if there are bits and pieces DO NOT insert a magnetic drain plug. do this instead, get a small nickel sized neodymium magnet and attach it to the oil plug after oil change. pack of 5 costs about $10. can do 5 cars.
Awesome, video. Like everyone has pointed out, I knew someone who died working under their car because his jack failed and had no ramps or jack stands for extra safety.
Thank you and yes I agree safety first! That’s so sad that you knew someone whose passed due to that, I’m sorry
Lefty loosey righty tighty 👍
You should always pre-fill the filter before putting it back on the vehicle, too. Helps it not run dry even if it's just for a little while. Apparently a dry filter made my friend's Chrysler crap out. But it IS Chrysler, soooooo lol
Back at it again with another upload!
Alex Fav you know it
Thank God Someone is doing tutorials on the 2017 Hyundai Elantra There is literally Nothing out there Great Work Man and I hope you can get the viewer you need to subscribe
Thank you! Glad we could help out
What's your view about the reliability of this car, including its 6-speed automatic transmission? Would you recommend it...?
I honestly don't know enough about these cars to give you a good concrete answer, sorry.
Good video but I wouldn't recommend overfilling the engine with oil. When you overfilled by a fourth of a quart and it was only halfway up the dipstick I would have found out the reason instead of overfilling a second time.
You should use car ramps because they give you more room to work.
Didn’t have them at the time but yes they’d give you more clearance
my man, even droppin the 17mm. thanks
Haha I gotcha! Make sure to check out our other videos that’ll help us out a lot !
Do you have any videos on how to change the low beam headlights on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra?
Unfortunately no we do not :/ but I’m sure there’s a video up on TH-cam explaining how to do it
Thanks for the video. You're right, this generation doesn't have a lot of videos. Probably because the car generally sucks to work on. Light changing the headlight bulbs. What a pain in the ass. Contrary to what those videos say you don't have to go through the wheel well or take the bumper off,. but, still bad design by Hyundai. This looks pretty straight forward. I'll probably go get the oil today and do it later.
Very true there’s not many videos out unfortunately but yes you’ll be able do it! Very straight forward job. Gotta be careful a lot of people out videos out there and they’re not accurate tutorials and make extra steps that aren’t necessary
@@RatchetWrenches I was about to go buy oil, but then I saw a Groupon for an oil change for a place we've used before for $15.19. lol. That's most likely less than I'd pay for oil and filter. I'm sure I'll get to doing one eventually assuming we still have a garage when we move or concrete to park on (def not safe to jack up a car on asphalt).
Lol my moms 2013 nissan juke I had to remove the bumper (not entirely, but enough to pop top half apart) to get to 2 screws to pull the headlights out. My kid's 2006 Civic I had to pull the battery and coolant reservoir out to change a turn signal bulb. They don't make cars easy anymore.
One other thing is to check back of store receipt for deals. I have a semi synth oil change with free tire rotation for $20 at Big O tire from a Safeway receipt. My car calls for spec additive I can find only in pennzoil platinum synth since its a turbo, so I can't use it
You helped me alot brother! Thank you sir!
You're welcome!! Glad to help
Great video, but the reason you don’t see videos on the new models is because it’s the same way as the 2013’s and up. In regards to oil changes, and transmission fluid changes. Still great video ! Keep up the good work
Yeah i figured that’s the reason😬 but we appreciate that very much. Thank you!
Nice!
Thanks dude. Came in handy.

Good video! I have a 2018, in Canada, and on the air filter housing it says to use 5W-20 Shell or Quaker State oil. (In Canada, Quaker State is owned by Shell.) Do you think it would hinder my warranty if I used say, Mobil 1 Synthetic??
Thanks! And no I don’t believe switching oil would alter the warranty. As long as it’s the same viscosity! Synthetic or conventional will be ok but in all honesty this engine doesn’t need full synthetic id maybe do a blend if anything
Hi Bob...
Yes, you can as long keep using the same brand...
Mobil Synthetic 5W-20 is superior... Shell/Quaker State 5W-20 oil is the recommended, because the additive in it , the breakdown is help to maintain the viscosity longer... testing show recommended oil for
manufacturer vehicles. Try to change oil regularly will keep your vehicle run smoothly & longer-term along with other basic regularly maintenance.
Enjoy... stay Safe... Do it right....
Sincerely, Mr V.
PS... Check your vehicle owner manual for oil, quantity and type (Synthetic 5W-20 Oil ONLY)
Very easy to follow, thanks!
Dax Ramos you’re welcome
My 2018 Hyundai Elantra 1.6 piston blew through block and now engine is needing full replacement Hyundai Dealer said $9,000 new engine. Various 3 mechanics say $7500-$7900.
thanks man.....im going to do this right now.
Brian Taber you’re welcome! let us know if ya have any questions!
My Hyundai dows not have a OK Button....its a 2017
Brian Taber must have a different trim mode or something. Some steering wheels are different with different packages. In that case I’d google you exact model reset process. Ours here is a limited model.
Thanks made everythibg super easy
Perfect! That’s what we tried to do!
Uhh you should’ve said what size socket the drain plug was little details matter like that when people are searching for these vidjas
Hey man, real quick question. At 1:09 I see your rocker panel has "shark skin" texture with the paint. My 2020 elantra has that, and I'm trying to figure out if that's how the car came or if the paint is going bad there. So far I Believe the car paint is going bad and I'm ready to sand it down and repaint. Just want to be sure before I do all that work.
It was done that way from the factory, most newer vehicles have that these days. They claim it will take a tad longer to rust out then without their treatment there.
Thanks - just finished. Big help

Is this the same way to change with the 2020 Elantra?
I’m not sure tbh but I can’t imagine them changing the design on it. Is it the same motor? I’m not familiar with the specs on the 2020. If it’s the same motor it’ll most likely be the same procedure. They tend to not change much
Good vid thanks buddy
Thank you for watching!
Does anyone know if it’ll be the same on an elantra GT hatchback?
Should be very similar
Thanks!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the post
👍👍
Can you let me know which oil is best for Elantra GL 2018.
Thanks
Depends on which motor you have, here’s the specs and capacity. synthetic blend oil, preferred 5W-30 for the 1.4L and 1.6L 4 cylinder engines. The 2.0L prefers 5W-20. The oil capacity for the 1.4L is 4.4 quarts, for the 1.6L is 4.8 quarts and for the 2.0L is 4.2 quarts. Now for brand I recommend pennzoil or valvoline
You didn’t reset the oil light did you check TH-cam
How long does this normally last before having to do it again?
3000 miles because you probably have a leak you didn’t know about too
Cheers mate
Thanks for sharing video I learned alot

Good now ill do the oil change on my wife's car
Awesome!
Cool video 😀 stp guy huh I use Valvoline 😎
Memories Per Gallon thanks and haha I’m actually a Mobil guy, by my mom is trading in the car so I said screw it and bought cheap STP lol
@@RatchetWrenches haha I put super tech from Walmart in the girls car 😂😂😂 she don't drive hard so what the heck 👍
Memories Per Gallon lmao gotta save the money where you can!
How do you reset the oil light in the car?
I forget off the top of my head but it should be in the steering wheel buttons/ on the main screen or a procedure. If you Google or TH-cam it I'm sure there are plenty of good videos out there!
@@RatchetWrenches it’s difficult on my 2019. I have to take to the dealership because I don’t have Two up and down buttons on the right side of the steering wheel.
Change oil every how many miles????
4000 miles
Nice thanks

You need to learn what the work jack stand is ... could be the word of your life
So wrong replace you crush washer on the drain plug or resand on a flat surface and re apply great way to lose oil blow a engine and void the warranty for a simple $1
There's a guy on here that has a mechanic channel called Ratchets And Wrenches that has been on here longer than you. You're pretty much using his same channel name because you just left out the word "And".
That’s cool
The Manual calls for 5-20 Quaker state conventual oil too
rock70star you can run 5-20 yeah but most systems will allow you to run 5w30 I like the viscosity of 5w-30 a little better
By the way it is worth noting that the 2019 Hyundai engine is a revision to the previous Nu models. The jury is still out as to whether or not these engines will also fail.
I added the whole 5 the first change ? Is that safe?
Yes that’s totally fine
hey great job just what i needed
Awesome I’m glad we could be of help!
You deff need a set of ramps
hustlecoral vlogs I had a set but they broke and I’ve been too scared to try again
@@RatchetWrenches get Race Ramps and or wheel cribs. I ordered heavy duty 10" ramps for front and 12" blocks to back for plenty of stable lift. Real expensive but went with safety/durability over cheap plastic u buy in stores (read Amazon reviews, they've crushed)
Thanks
You’re welcome!
I was late damn

You are supposed to use Synthetic oil
(Sept. 11, 2020)
Dear Sirs/ Madam;
I had a Hyundai Elantra 2018- and my last change oil's in 45,000km since then i hadn't yet change it's oil..now it had run at around 57, 000+ km...is it ok if i run for another 200-300km for it? Herein our place we are total lockdown due to the covid19 pandemic but i have to run an errand for us to survive..your immediate response is very much thankful. THANK YOU EVERYONE! 😇😇😇
Mfka is temping fate under there no jack stand . At least put some blocks under there guys stay safe. One Chinese jack busting would flatten my
Man
2019 and there are still people using conventional oil. :-/
Christopher Burns that’s what it calls for...
@@RatchetWrenches I'm quite sure it doesn't say do not use synthetic oil. There is no reason not to. I've been using synthetic oil and every car I've owned it since 1994. The only car I've owned that demanded it was a Subaru.
Christopher Burns okay I use synthetic too. But it’s not my car. I’m going to use what it calls for. It’s cheap and gets the job done. Sure I can use synthetic or a blend but do I need to? No. Not my car not my choice. not my problem lol
@@RatchetWrenches Not quite. Mineral oil lasts half as long as is generally not recommended.
conventional in a 2017😬
That’s what it calls for
Aparently i was already subed... must have been a while ago, gunno go threw your other vids, see if i remember you-
Earth Chan lol awesome!
StRaIgHt PiPe It xD
Earth Chan hahaha it’s my moms car, she’d kill me
Do you have to reset the oil light?
Yeah you do! We forgot to show it, but it’s really simple. th-cam.com/video/RVhrZ-jLMgk/w-d-xo.html here’s a video showing how to do it!
