Hey Scotty, can you please answer this question in the next video? My 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport has trouble starting. It blows white smoke while running, I believe I need to replace the piston rings. Has over 200,000 miles on it. When I attempt to start it, it spits and sputters and then eventually cranks up. I believe it’s a fuel injection problem. Do you think it could be anything different?
Sonata's don't burn oil.The only time they burn oil. 1.Bad gas (use Phillips) 2.Wrong oil type or brand. 3.Needs new spark plugs,spark plug wire,or new coil pack. 4.air intake hose leak or air sensor
In 2021 I purchased a 2012 Sonata Limited with 42,000 miles. Just started watching this channel and was thinking I should dump it for a Camry or Corolla. This video changed my view about that. It’s 2024 and the car has 66,000 miles. Thinking I’ll just care for the car and ride it till it falls apart. Makes for a good commuter car to and from work.
It's a shame about the oil burning issue on these 2.4L GDI engines. I test drove a 2011 Sonata SEL and an SE when they first came out. I was very impressed with both. Solid cars. From my understanding, the engine issue aside, they're quite reliable. Also, remember Toyota had oil burning issues on various models 15-20yrs ago.
Yeah, I remember someone from the Kia Soul forum getting rid of their 2014 Kia Soul with the 2.0L & it had severe oil consumption to then get a 2012 Scion XB with 2.4L, also ended up with severe oil consumption. Can't win!
$12k for a car that’s gotten him to work without fail.. He’s made more than his money’s worth on that car. $12,000 was a steal even before the inflation started.
Exactly, he bought it around 60-70K miles and has 170K miles now. He got his moneys worth if he only did regular maintenance, Scotty complaining about slight oil consumption? The car did its job and continues to do so. SMH
Good practical advice Scotty. If it's in good shape and runs good keep it and enjoy the savings. Mechanics told me to get rid of my perfectly running 2003 Carolla because it is old.and has almost 300 thousand on it. I told them I'll get another 100 thousand trouble free miles.
Same, my grandparents has an old toyota diesel and it shakes like alot during idle and burns a quart of oil every 3000 miles, it still starts right up and my grandfather said he'll drive it until it gives up before he'll buy another car, that was 6 years ago and he's still driving the same car
Very smart. No car payment. Instead, pretend you have a payment and save it. Then one day in the distant future if your Corolla can’t Corolla anymore, buy a used one with about 100k for cheap and get another 300-400k out of it! 😊
I had a shop telling me that they couldn’t fix some issue with my Altima and told me to take it to the dealership to get it fixed. I never noped out so hard in a decision nor went back to that shop
As you said, if you don't get the right advice, go somewhere else. Good luck in your search of a competent mechanic or shop, my neighbor has a 2010 Altima, yes it's all rusted because of the road salt used here in Montreal, but he drives it, his son and daughter drive it as well. The car is rarely sitting in the driveway. So if the engine and related components are still good than keep it.
I don't see what's wrong with that. Sometimes the manufacturer is the only one with the knowledge to diagnose a random issue, or is the only one able to source a part. And not everything there is a ripoff. I used to do all my oil changes at the honda dealer on my old accord. And they would charge me $80, which is a good price for synthetic. But unlike random mechanics, they would also top up all my fluids, do a general inspection and let me know if something is going soon
I'm in the same boat with my Kia Soul. It's not a GDi engine, it gets 35mpg on average, I do highway driving almost exclusively, so my aim is to keep up on the oil changes, monitor for burning oil, and just keep the sucker running.
You know, something interesting about these cars (that you most likely already knew) is that the GDI pump is mechanical. It’s run off of an extra lobe on the cam shaft, and that lobe pushes a plunger, which allows the gas to be fed to the injectors. Pretty cool!
And after 100K miles the GDI pump seal will fail and fuel will leak into the crankcase - diluting the oil and giving excess wear on the engine. Not cool... $250 to replace.
I have a 2011 Sonata with the 2.4L. Bought it for $3,000 with 122,000 miles. It has 250,000 miles now. The original engine finally went at 218,000. I put a used engine in for $3,000. Still has the original transmission that operates perfectly. There were times I had to put two or more quarts of oil in the original engine, and it STILL wouldn’t stop running. The only reason I had to put an engine in it was the tip of spark plug #2 had broken off somehow and put a hole in the piston. These are great cars. I’ll get another one when I drive the wheels off of this one.
Great job Scotty, Thank you! 👏🏿 Finally an accurate review of a Hyundai Sonata good and the bad. I currently own a 15 Sonata turbo with 173K miles original engine that I've owned since new, had a few hiccups throughout the 7 years but overall it's never left me stranded, hoping to get at least 250K before I fully retire her lol
Still I doubt that this car has never gotten any suspension work at 169.000miles that's 271.000km. Here in Germany some MOT tester would have said that struts or anything is worn and unsafe. At least that would be on German roads and working in a dealership usally any suspension work has to be done at 140.000km/86.000miles doesn't really matter which brand I guess. All the Opels, VWs, Mercedes and BMWs I've seen need it at that point in time.
I have the same Hyundai 2012, engine blew up , Hyundai has extended warranty on this and they covered the cost. But there was $700 or so diagnostic charges. Plus the car was out for 2 months and no rental car.
That's the dealer u are dealing with not the brand on my first sonata the engine went the dealer replace it at 0 cost and they gave me a rental car while they were doing it took them 2 days
You can stop the oil burn issue, so long as it wasn’t caused by running low on oil. I was burning a quart every 200 miles and started fouling plugs. 5 treatments on B-12 directly into the cylinders over 3 days and it freed the oil rings completely. 3k miles and doesn’t burn a drop of oil with 130k miles on the motor. There are a few videos out there to show you how. B-12 is no joke so only use in a well ventilated area and don’t get it on the paint (my mistake on both). This was a last resort before I replaced the engine and I wish I had tried this first! Good luck
Hey @ScottyKilmer...it is probably worth mentioning that if you are considering a used Hyundai or Kia to at least check the VIN or do some online research to see if it is one that has been recalled for potential engine failure or fire risk. Not saying they all have problems (so chill Hyundai/Kia fans) but just saying given the company's recent history with major engine issues that it is worth taking a couple minutes to check
Also check for a lack of immobilizer for the ignition lock. And also check for the Insurance coverage. Some insurance companies just flat out refusing covering these two Korean brands.
We had that same exact issue with our Hyundai Tucson and we had three catalytic converters put into it because it kept clogging the catalytic converter and blowing them up
That's my concern with oil burning - it will eventually contaminate the cat and fail emissions test. Requiring replacement - very expensive. GDI engines should be outlawed.
The Hyundai Dealer replaced my engine at 101,000 miles due to excessive oil consumption. I was burning 1 quart every 1,000 miles. There is a magnetic plug in the engine and it was full of metal shavings. Have the dealer pull the magnetic plug and take a picture. I feel the engine was ready to blow up. 2017 Sonata.
Rest in peace, Scotty. It was great having you on this Earth, telling us all about how to work on cars. I learned to pull a Cadillac Northstar engine out of the top of the car, do a complete top-end rebuild, and now I'm putting it back in.
I had a short in one of my taillights (‘12 Sorento) because you have to take the whole taillight assembly out to change the bulb and this degrades the wires. A new harness will fix the short, but a new car is probably a better solution, lol.
RIP SCOTTY I’ll never forget the happiest day of my life, the day I followed your instructions and bought the best production car ever manufactured, my 1999 Toyota Celica GT, I’ve loved that car just like a car because it’s been just like a car to me
I love my 2007 Hyundai accent. It has 105,000 miles on it 132-135 psi in cylinders, it doesn't burn oil even though I have never changed the oil or oil filter. and it only cost $10,000 new. Maintinance has only cost mr $260 (timing belt and 4 ignition coils).
You might have to get the Cat Converter changed as you get near 200 G as it will be so covered with oil you might get a code that says the converter is not performing efficiently. It happened to my KIa Rio at 190 G.
My wife’s Toyota has the 25k free of charge maintenance which entailed two free oil changes with cabin air filter change too. It was free. I would watch them like a hawk when changing the oil and nearly every time try and upsell me crap.
I made an appointment for my daughters 2022 Rav first oil change @ 5,200 miles and they told her that it was not due, to wait 10K miles. First oil change @10k, no way. I went to the dealer bought the Toyota original oil and filter and made the Oil change myself. I was doing this since the car was new but I will change it every 5k and document it on the oil receipt from Toyota. Date, miles etc. Can't rely on no one and there are some things that are better off being done by yourself.
@@mcc7762 a-yup. At 5k, I came in and said “I’d like my oil changed now rather than at 10k.” Service rep said “Ok, this one will count as your 10k.” No problem, again, me watching them like a hawk doing it the entire time.
@@midiaz1319 huh, odd. My local toyota dealer did it at 5k and 10k and counted it as the 10k and 20k oil change with no issue. Car now has 35k and have been doing my own oil changes AFTER the 10k mark. That was the only time a dealer has ever touched my vehicle outside of warranty work or recalls.
@@midiaz1319 Also, no need to buy the OEM ones from the dealer. Walmart (if you’re in NA) has them for wayyyyy cheaper. I buy the oem filter from walmart and then usually wait for good deals on the oil so it’s both with a discount from the store and manufacturer discount. My last oil change on our 2019 Highlander cost me $28 dollars to do. Full synthetic 0-20w Oil and oem toyo filter.
@@KamalaTheClown I bought in the Toyota dealer since this is still under warranty so the complete oil change I paid at the dealer was $42 doing it myself. For my other Toyotas not in warranty I will buy Mobile One syntetic extended around $40. So the price at the dealer was not so bad.
2011 sonata here at 340k and burns 1 quart every 500 miles. Just lost the fuel pump today and all parts ever replaced was shocks, balljoint, alternator, starter and battery. Other pending issues are Steering rack, front suspension parts, and high pressure pump. Pushing for 500k on original engine using Walmart's cheap supertech 20-50w oils so wish me luck.😊
I have 2015 hyundai elantra it’s cranking but no start, have to give it some gas for it to start. It drives normal after start up, no check engine light on the dash or pending codes.
I have a 2012 Sonata and mines burning oil too. I just change the oil, spark plugs, battery. I paid 7k for mines and it had 69000 miles on it. Now i have 159k miles on it. It drives really well. Just one thing, do not use the ECO mode.
I dont know about the USA, but here in Europe the Hyundays have very loyal drivers, due to their reliability. I have lots of friends who owned them and keep buying new, just because of their high reliability and sensible price.
I guess I am the sole person ALIVE in this country that has had 4 (yes FOUR) Korean cars in the last 20 YEARS (Hyundai Elantra, Kia Soul+, Kia Forte, and Hyundai Kona) - stretching from 2002 until now - WITH ZERO (0) PROBLEMS / Issues. Each car I bought new - drove over 120K (except for the '21 Kona that we still own with 37K on the odometer) - the latter 3 cars each had 1 (one) car battery, one (1) set of tires and scheduled maintenance by the book. IN 20 YEARS I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER - AT ALL. Oh, I forgot to mention, I did have to replace a rear turn signal bulb on the Forte - that set me back $1.50.
I've had 3 myself, all purchased brand new. 2007 Entourage, 2008 Elantra, now a 2020 Santa Fe. The Entourage had the most issues, with 1 warranty issue for body mounts, and 1 mechanical repair for the front valve cover gasket & alt replacement. I sold that after 14 years with 170k on the odo, and it was still smooth. The Elantra had zero issues, and the Santa Fe has zero issues. The thing with Hyundai is you can buy a lifetime powertrain warranty and lifetime bumper-bumper warranty for pretty cheap. And the warranties cover a lot more than you would expect.
I've been buying Hyundai/Kia since 2002, and not a single issue. There have been a few recalls that were covered items. I have a 2020 Tucson Ultimate, it's my retirement car. No issues to date
@@davidphillips4706 - glad there are folks that aren't embarrassed to acknowledge Korean motor auto companies can make great cars. They are making the 2024 Chevy Trax - rated #1 in Compact SUV's by Car & Driver. Kia / Hyundai is doing something very right.
@@RedEyeC You want to see just how good they can get?? Find yourself a Genesis dealer (sometimes they are with Hyundai) and take a look at the GV70.....it is one outstanding SUV, priced right and beats it's competitors easily, the kicker is that it's $20,000 less than most of it's competitors.
I own a sonata 2014 limited got it with 30000 miles now has 98000 never a problem just regular maintenance like brakes rotos oils changes of course and replaced control arms because the bushings were bad ,400 miles on a 16gal tank , comfortable ,nice ride ,honestly the best car I ever had
Rev in pieces man, heard that failed jackstand caused you to split apart when it failed. Thankful for your wife keeping the channel going. Glad you made some extra videos to post
I've got a 2008 Hyundai Elantra, bought it brand new. Runs like a top. 211,000 miles. Purrs like a kitten, can't even tell the engine is running, but it is.
I drove a v6 Kia Sorento, not the GDi, to deliver food for 3 years. It didn’t burn oil, but it couldn’t handle me turning the car on and shutting the engine off so many times. The flywheel was too worn at 192,000 miles for my car to keep going. I got 117,000 working miles out of it because the flywheel broke before the starter did. After the 120,000 mile mark, it absolutely was not worth keeping. It got very expensive after that.
Had a 2014 Sonata SE for 9 years, replaced, maintenance items only. Paid $28,000 Canadian $$ tax in in 2014 sold it for $13,800. Tax in. Never had a major issue with it, still ran great at 140,000 kilometers i am in Canada (85,000 miles) purchased a 2023 Genesis G70 , hope i get the same results.
I'm surprised that engine even made it that far without blowing up. Those 2.4 motors are well known for blowing up much earlier then that. My mom's 2014 Kia Sportage just started knocking at 92k miles and it never even burned oil. But warranty will get her a new motor free of charge hopefully.
The replacement motors are better. It also depends on where the engine was made. If it was built in Korea, like I suspect this one was, it will definitely last longer.
@@pandaant they are doing my engine remodel at dealership freaking parts taking forever. Hope it's as good as dealership remake. 2014 kia sedona. No creat no ship from Korea. Just all new parts remodel.
I am in a similar situation. I bought a 2015 Chrysler 200 ($15,000) 6 years ago 40,000 miles and now it has 185,000 miles everything runs well no problem.
I bought a 2018 elantra 1.6t brand new. literally just rolled off the truck in 2017. the car has 100k miles. changed the oil every 5k miles since new. spark plugs replaced every 50k because it’s a gdi only. everything else is original and works perfectly. the car idles smoothly, drives smoothly with no problems at all. I floor the car sometimes because it’s fun to me and it drives like new. whenever i talk about my car people always say oh it’ll probably throw a rod nock soon or seize up. my car literally does not consume a DROP of oil between oil changes and has 0 mechanical problems. most reliable car i’ve ever had.
I'm so sorry to hear of Scotty's passing. What angers me is I hear there is someone using Scotty's name and logo who is spinning a hoax that Scotty's still alive.
Scotty, I have a 2016 Hyundai Accent which I've put 3 alternators, 2 batteries, 2 battery ground link cable......Battery light goes on for a second when accelerating. Checked all fuses. Is there some kind of parasitic drain? Belt is tight, what else can it be? BTW, great channel.
@@Pktattooss i think miracle happened again. I had a 2006 sonata got 165000. I bought it fresh out of school used because that's the one i could afford. I don't regret it at all besides than miss since then since i had 2013 sonata, 17 santa fe for my wife and now 22 n line tucson all i have with them is good experience. Bring us to work, school anytime never let us down. I have friend with 40 000 miles other brand with transmission issue. Then again it's their choice.
156,000 on my Genesis coupe still going strong I'm pissed that both my windows are broken but other than that it's ok power windows suck wish they still made the manual windows
Yes the GDI motors have had there problems, and Hyundai hasn't always dealt with them all that well. But the MPI engines are great. I drive an Elantra and it is a great car . The engine burns literally zero oil. I hardly check the level between yearly oil changes - I only drive about ten thousand kms a year. The gas mileage amazes me. The car is the nicest driving car I have ever driven . It is 6 years old and all I have done is change the front brakes, and recently the spark plugs and one ignition coil that went bad.
@@scottykilmer is it really you? I keep seeing in the comments that you passed away. I really hope it’s just a bunch of trolls being jerks and not true.
Some Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w20 might help with that oil burning. We have a 2014 Optima with same engine and with the Pennzoil its like the oil level is painted on that dipstick. Be sure and use the Ultra- Platinum tho
I woke up this morning to tragic news. You will be missed Scotty! I’m glad to see your wife will be keeping your spirit alive by posting unreleased content. Gone but not forgotten ♥️
in 2020 i got a 2011 corolla with 68k miles for either $8k to $10k, ironically i dont remember even though im still making payments. I just hit 77k miles today and the vehicle has not had a single problem. At 75k i did the transmission drain and fill along with the coolant myself. I've also changed the oil myself every 3k miles. It shifts great, gets pretty good gas mileage, ac blows cold, has 0 leaks, and burns 0 oil. I know right now prices are up but even if i was in the market for a car today i would go for a toyota. I dont understand why people will buy a pos just to save a few thousand... it's beyond me.
I have a 2011. Paid $8000 for it with 113000 miles. Mines burn oil too, just got to be in the habit of checking it, which I do and it's still running strong at 220,000 miles.
I don't know who started the silly rumor of Scotty's passing, maybe someone from Tesla or Fiat/Chrysler. The people who believe this probably believe Elvis is still alive. Anyway keep up the informative videos Scotty, I watch every day whether you are posting from the here and now or the other side.
@@gone547 I don’t believe him offhandedly. He makes YT videos and is in the advertising biz. He is entertaining and tosses out some decent information. But mostly, he blathers about his experiences and opinions.
I rented one of those Hyundai Snotrags back in 08 for a long road trip. The worst thing about it was the handling. When I cornered, it felt like the suspension had basketball-sized marshmallows by each tire. Too mushy. Other than that, a rather non-descript car.
My old sonata used to burn a ton of oil, it was BAD! About 3 months ago it got stolen and recovered, but the thieves ran the thing out of oil and froze up the engine. Oh well, I have a 2021 Corolla now and I’m happy as can be. And no, I didn’t buy it because of Scotty, I hadn’t started watching him yet.
I have a 2018 Kia soul with the infamous 2.0 liter and it just turned 152,000 miles. All I have done is scheduled maintenance and tires. It does burn a quart every 2,000 miles. I get 34 on the highway and 27 around town. The pickup is still as new and everything still works. I paid 14,000 for mine 115,000 miles ago. It runs quietly.
I have 296,000 on my 2013 hyundai Sonata. No engines issues so far mostly original parts in engine. Did start to loose oil at about 150,000. My mechanic told me to use riselone and it helped. Engine still strong and have changed transmission fluid.
How many miles did you have when you changed transmission fluid? Also how did it go? Did you change the tranny fluid yourself? Or did you hire someone?
My 2.4L Theta II GDI (Sonata GLS 2011) does NOT burn oil (or if it does, it is so little that I do not notice between oil changes). I use CRC Valve cleaner, I change the oil every 6000 miles w synthetic, nothing else.
I had a 1978 dolphin motorhome 15 years ago a Toyota with a for cylinder was pushing it. I drove it from Michigan to Kentucky then we had tornados so I got out of the bad weather and drove to the panhandle of Florida. It burnt a Quart of oil every 150 miles. My wife was surprised it drove that far.
Can’t wait for all of these 2016-2020 Kia’s and Hyundais to surpass 100-150K with no issues and shock Scotty and the rest of the haters. Kia and Hyundai may never reach Toyota or Hondas level of expertise but I think they come in as a solid cheaper alternative
I have a 2013 with 286,000 miles on it. I havent got the oil changed in over 2 years. Every once in a while i will put some royal purple oil in it but honestly it still works AMAZING!! this car is one of the best things i have EVER owned!!💗💗
have a 2013 hyundai sante fe sport 2.0T with 154,000 k/m has been a very good vehicle so far recently replaced the waste gate for the turbo at a cost of $1200. oil is always full has never burned any oil.
@@Pktattooss I owned an 03' Buick Lesabre that I had to recently get rid of because of rust issues. That car had a 3.8 lire V-6 engine with way over 200,000 miles on it and only burned a half a quart of oil every 3,000 miles.
My Kia Sportage 1.6d mild hybrid 2 years old 17000 miles drive belt tensioner problem running the engine took 6 months to fix handed it back to the garage.
I had an oil burning Kia engine. Dealer tried to snow me with some new parts. I fought and they ended up putting a whole new engine in. They are nice at first but turn to trash after that!
I can't believe that is in spec. Say someone isnt auto savvy and not adding oil between changes, theyd be bringing in a car that is close to or is bone dry and ready to blow between their scheduled maintenance oil change. My GF has a 2020 palisade that is burning oil. It has about 50,000 miles. She is on top of her oil changes. She was experiencing a shake at idle/stop. She was driving to the dealership because of it and it stalled on the way there. Incredible that this is found acceptable.
Purchased a 2006 Hyundai Sonata V6 78,000 miles in 2011 for $7995- Mileage is now at 148,000 miles and only maintenance I've done are replace a starter and oil changes!..My observation is stick with Hyundai cars 1998-2010..They seem to be very reliable.
I have a Kia Sorento with the same engine, and it too burns some oil. With 5W20 full synthetic it burned ~1qt/1K miles. I switched to 5W30 synthetic blend and now it burns about about 3/4 quart every 2k miles.

With that much oil burning (10-12 qts. per/year), the Catalytic converter(s) & O2 sensors must be in rough shape.
Hey Scotty, can you please answer this question in the next video? My 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport has trouble starting. It blows white smoke while running, I believe I need to replace the piston rings. Has over 200,000 miles on it. When I attempt to start it, it spits and sputters and then eventually cranks up. I believe it’s a fuel injection problem. Do you think it could be anything different?
@@rustyshackelford1483 I wonder if by increasing the viscosity of the oil from the 5W-20 to 10W-20 or 30 would cut down the oil consumption.
Sonata's don't burn oil.The only time they burn oil.
1.Bad gas (use Phillips)
2.Wrong oil type or brand.
3.Needs new spark plugs,spark plug wire,or new coil pack.
4.air intake hose leak or air sensor

In 2021 I purchased a 2012 Sonata Limited with 42,000 miles. Just started watching this channel and was thinking I should dump it for a Camry or Corolla. This video changed my view about that. It’s 2024 and the car has 66,000 miles. Thinking I’ll just care for the car and ride it till it falls apart. Makes for a good commuter car to and from work.
It's a shame about the oil burning issue on these 2.4L GDI engines. I test drove a 2011 Sonata SEL and an SE when they first came out. I was very impressed with both. Solid cars. From my understanding, the engine issue aside, they're quite reliable. Also, remember Toyota had oil burning issues on various models 15-20yrs ago.
These engines and transmission are trash
Yeah, I remember someone from the Kia Soul forum getting rid of their 2014 Kia Soul with the 2.0L & it had severe oil consumption to then get a 2012 Scion XB with 2.4L, also ended up with severe oil consumption. Can't win!

Exactly, he bought it around 60-70K miles and has 170K miles now. He got his moneys worth if he only did regular maintenance, Scotty complaining about slight oil consumption? The car did its job and continues to do so. SMH
Seems a lot, to me. My 15 XB with 32k miles was only $11500 4 years ago.
We got our 2016 elantra with 26k miles for 12k. Loved every second of owning this vehicle.
Good practical advice Scotty. If it's in good shape and runs good keep it and enjoy the savings. Mechanics told me to get rid of my perfectly running 2003 Carolla because it is old.and has almost 300 thousand on it. I told them I'll get another 100 thousand trouble free miles.
Same, my grandparents has an old toyota diesel and it shakes like alot during idle and burns a quart of oil every 3000 miles, it still starts right up and my grandfather said he'll drive it until it gives up before he'll buy another car, that was 6 years ago and he's still driving the same car
@@lancelotbustillo6455 I like it! Keep on truckin
Very smart. No car payment. Instead, pretend you have a payment and save it. Then one day in the distant future if your Corolla can’t Corolla anymore, buy a used one with about 100k for cheap and get another 300-400k out of it! 😊

I had a shop telling me that they couldn’t fix some issue with my Altima and told me to take it to the dealership to get it fixed. I never noped out so hard in a decision nor went back to that shop
Good look with that ricer.
@@Richard4point6 an altima isn't a ricer lmao.
As you said, if you don't get the right advice, go somewhere else. Good luck in your search of a competent mechanic or shop, my neighbor has a 2010 Altima, yes it's all rusted because of the road salt used here in Montreal, but he drives it, his son and daughter drive it as well. The car is rarely sitting in the driveway. So if the engine and related components are still good than keep it.
I don't see what's wrong with that. Sometimes the manufacturer is the only one with the knowledge to diagnose a random issue, or is the only one able to source a part. And not everything there is a ripoff. I used to do all my oil changes at the honda dealer on my old accord. And they would charge me $80, which is a good price for synthetic. But unlike random mechanics, they would also top up all my fluids, do a general inspection and let me know if something is going soon
@@nickowens6950Altima is Nissan…… a ricer
I'm in the same boat with my Kia Soul. It's not a GDi engine, it gets 35mpg on average, I do highway driving almost exclusively, so my aim is to keep up on the oil changes, monitor for burning oil, and just keep the sucker running.
You know, something interesting about these cars (that you most likely already knew) is that the GDI pump is mechanical. It’s run off of an extra lobe on the cam shaft, and that lobe pushes a plunger, which allows the gas to be fed to the injectors. Pretty cool!
And after 100K miles the GDI pump seal will fail and fuel will leak into the crankcase - diluting the oil and giving excess wear on the engine. Not cool... $250 to replace.
I have a 2011 Sonata 2.4 with 245,000 miles. Thing has been a rock!
Me too!......156k. Solid car but it's an MPI not GDI and it's made in Korea!
I also have 314k. Still working
My 2012 sonata 2.4 with 302,000 miles. These things are great
I have a 2011 Sonata with the 2.4L. Bought it for $3,000 with 122,000 miles. It has 250,000 miles now. The original engine finally went at 218,000. I put a used engine in for $3,000. Still has the original transmission that operates perfectly. There were times I had to put two or more quarts of oil in the original engine, and it STILL wouldn’t stop running. The only reason I had to put an engine in it was the tip of spark plug #2 had broken off somehow and put a hole in the piston. These are great cars. I’ll get another one when I drive the wheels off of this one.

Great job Scotty, Thank you! 👏🏿 Finally an accurate review of a Hyundai Sonata good and the bad. I currently own a 15 Sonata turbo with 173K miles original engine that I've owned since new, had a few hiccups throughout the 7 years but overall it's never left me stranded, hoping to get at least 250K before I fully retire her lol
he's always given accurate reviews of Hyundai's. they've had motor problems for the last decade
Still I doubt that this car has never gotten any suspension work at 169.000miles that's 271.000km. Here in Germany some MOT tester would have said that struts or anything is worn and unsafe. At least that would be on German roads and working in a dealership usally any suspension work has to be done at 140.000km/86.000miles doesn't really matter which brand I guess. All the Opels, VWs, Mercedes and BMWs I've seen need it at that point in time.
Pretty much. Not spectacular quality but not terrible either
Yes! Had mines since 33,000 miles with the 2.4L and now has 200,000+. Starts up, runs, keep the regular maintenance up, it keeps on going
Same with me…. Mine is a16 with 150k
Scotty morphing into full Grandpa Simpson right in front of us!
I have the same Hyundai 2012, engine blew up , Hyundai has extended warranty on this and they covered the cost. But there was $700 or so diagnostic charges.
Plus the car was out for 2 months and no rental car.
That's the dealer u are dealing with not the brand on my first sonata the engine went the dealer replace it at 0 cost and they gave me a rental car while they were doing it took them 2 days
You can stop the oil burn issue, so long as it wasn’t caused by running low on oil. I was burning a quart every 200 miles and started fouling plugs. 5 treatments on B-12 directly into the cylinders over 3 days and it freed the oil rings completely. 3k miles and doesn’t burn a drop of oil with 130k miles on the motor. There are a few videos out there to show you how. B-12 is no joke so only use in a well ventilated area and don’t get it on the paint (my mistake on both). This was a last resort before I replaced the engine and I wish I had tried this first! Good luck
I put Vitamin B12 in the engine. Car works great now.
Hey @ScottyKilmer...it is probably worth mentioning that if you are considering a used Hyundai or Kia to at least check the VIN or do some online research to see if it is one that has been recalled for potential engine failure or fire risk. Not saying they all have problems (so chill Hyundai/Kia fans) but just saying given the company's recent history with major engine issues that it is worth taking a couple minutes to check
Which models r u talking about? So now I can not look into them anymore
Also check for a lack of immobilizer for the ignition lock. And also check for the Insurance coverage. Some insurance companies just flat out refusing covering these two Korean brands.
We had that same exact issue with our Hyundai Tucson and we had three catalytic converters put into it because it kept clogging the catalytic converter and blowing them up
That's my concern with oil burning - it will eventually contaminate the cat and fail emissions test. Requiring replacement - very expensive. GDI engines should be outlawed.
The Hyundai Dealer replaced my engine at 101,000 miles due to excessive oil consumption. I was burning 1 quart every 1,000 miles. There is a magnetic plug in the engine and it was full of metal shavings. Have the dealer pull the magnetic plug and take a picture. I feel the engine was ready to blow up. 2017 Sonata.
My 2015 Hyundai is burning oil like crazy.
Rest in peace, Scotty. It was great having you on this Earth, telling us all about how to work on cars.
I learned to pull a Cadillac Northstar engine out of the top of the car, do a complete top-end rebuild, and now I'm putting it back in.
hey Korean, stop it
A Northstar? Why would you even touch that garbage
He’s alive. Not sure what you’re talking about
Got my limited for $7900 with 100k. I've put 130k on it and still going. Still getting 35 highway.
Do the tail lights work? I swear damn near every Hyundai I see has no brake lights except the 3rd light in the window😂😂
I had a short in one of my taillights (‘12 Sorento) because you have to take the whole taillight assembly out to change the bulb and this degrades the wires. A new harness will fix the short, but a new car is probably a better solution, lol.
I have 2013 hyundai sonata too.. Only thing i do is top the oil every now and then between il change.. Except for that...preety good and stable car
RIP SCOTTY I’ll never forget the happiest day of my life, the day I followed your instructions and bought the best production car ever manufactured, my 1999 Toyota Celica GT, I’ve loved that car just like a car because it’s been just like a car to me

When I was a Hyundai mechanic there was a guy with a 14 Sonata that burned a quart of oil a week.
Do all sonatas have that problem? My 13 has been pretty good and I put almost 80k on it after 8 years.
@@johnarbuckle6583it's because of the GDI engine they use, it's an oil burner

@@exceededexpectations1953 it's not a rumor bro
You might have to get the Cat Converter changed as you get near 200 G as it will be so covered with oil you might get a code that says the converter is not performing efficiently. It happened to my KIa Rio at 190 G.
My wife’s Toyota has the 25k free of charge maintenance which entailed two free oil changes with cabin air filter change too. It was free. I would watch them like a hawk when changing the oil and nearly every time try and upsell me crap.
I made an appointment for my daughters 2022 Rav first oil change @ 5,200 miles and they told her that it was not due, to wait 10K miles. First oil change @10k, no way. I went to the dealer bought the Toyota original oil and filter and made the Oil change myself. I was doing this since the car was new but I will change it every 5k and document it on the oil receipt from Toyota. Date, miles etc. Can't rely on no one and there are some things that are better off being done by yourself.
@@mcc7762 a-yup. At 5k, I came in and said “I’d like my oil changed now rather than at 10k.” Service rep said “Ok, this one will count as your 10k.”
No problem, again, me watching them like a hawk doing it the entire time.
@@midiaz1319 huh, odd. My local toyota dealer did it at 5k and 10k and counted it as the 10k and 20k oil change with no issue. Car now has 35k and have been doing my own oil changes AFTER the 10k mark. That was the only time a dealer has ever touched my vehicle outside of warranty work or recalls.
@@midiaz1319 Also, no need to buy the OEM ones from the dealer. Walmart (if you’re in NA) has them for wayyyyy cheaper. I buy the oem filter from walmart and then usually wait for good deals on the oil so it’s both with a discount from the store and manufacturer discount. My last oil change on our 2019 Highlander cost me $28 dollars to do. Full synthetic 0-20w Oil and oem toyo filter.
@@KamalaTheClown I bought in the Toyota dealer since this is still under warranty so the complete oil change I paid at the dealer was $42 doing it myself. For my other Toyotas not in warranty I will buy Mobile One syntetic extended around $40.
So the price at the dealer was not so bad.
2011 sonata here at 340k and burns 1 quart every 500 miles. Just lost the fuel pump today and all parts ever replaced was shocks, balljoint, alternator, starter and battery. Other pending issues are Steering rack, front suspension parts, and high pressure pump. Pushing for 500k on original engine using Walmart's cheap supertech 20-50w oils so wish me luck.😊
Weird that the CAT is still okay when it burns oil.
There could be a leak somewhere too.

Why no eco mode?
@@melancholypuppy3595 i drives very crappy.
I dont know about the USA, but here in Europe the Hyundays have very loyal drivers, due to their reliability. I have lots of friends who owned them and keep buying new, just because of their high reliability and sensible price.
I guess I am the sole person ALIVE in this country that has had 4 (yes FOUR) Korean cars in the last 20 YEARS (Hyundai Elantra, Kia Soul+, Kia Forte, and Hyundai Kona) - stretching from 2002 until now - WITH ZERO (0) PROBLEMS / Issues. Each car I bought new - drove over 120K (except for the '21 Kona that we still own with 37K on the odometer) - the latter 3 cars each had 1 (one) car battery, one (1) set of tires and scheduled maintenance by the book. IN 20 YEARS I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER - AT ALL. Oh, I forgot to mention, I did have to replace a rear turn signal bulb on the Forte - that set me back $1.50.
I've had 3 myself, all purchased brand new. 2007 Entourage, 2008 Elantra, now a 2020 Santa Fe. The Entourage had the most issues, with 1 warranty issue for body mounts, and 1 mechanical repair for the front valve cover gasket & alt replacement. I sold that after 14 years with 170k on the odo, and it was still smooth. The Elantra had zero issues, and the Santa Fe has zero issues. The thing with Hyundai is you can buy a lifetime powertrain warranty and lifetime bumper-bumper warranty for pretty cheap. And the warranties cover a lot more than you would expect.
I've been buying Hyundai/Kia since 2002, and not a single issue. There have been a few recalls that were covered items. I have a 2020 Tucson Ultimate, it's my retirement car. No issues to date

The Dealer screwed the buyer over by selling them one
I drove a v6 Kia Sorento, not the GDi, to deliver food for 3 years. It didn’t burn oil, but it couldn’t handle me turning the car on and shutting the engine off so many times. The flywheel was too worn at 192,000 miles for my car to keep going. I got 117,000 working miles out of it because the flywheel broke before the starter did. After the 120,000 mile mark, it absolutely was not worth keeping. It got very expensive after that.
It's getting to the point where you have to buy racing parts just to get quality parts on your daily.
Had a 2014 Sonata SE for 9 years, replaced, maintenance items only. Paid $28,000 Canadian $$ tax in in 2014 sold it for $13,800. Tax in. Never had a major issue with it, still ran great at 140,000 kilometers i am in Canada (85,000 miles) purchased a 2023 Genesis G70 , hope i get the same results.
I'm surprised that engine even made it that far without blowing up. Those 2.4 motors are well known for blowing up much earlier then that. My mom's 2014 Kia Sportage just started knocking at 92k miles and it never even burned oil. But warranty will get her a new motor free of charge hopefully.
Sell it as soon as you get the new engine since you will get a lot for it.
Lucky
The replacement motors are better. It also depends on where the engine was made. If it was built in Korea, like I suspect this one was, it will definitely last longer.

Yes the GDI motors have had there problems, and Hyundai hasn't always dealt with them all that well. But the MPI engines are great. I drive an Elantra and it is a great car . The engine burns literally zero oil. I hardly check the level between yearly oil changes - I only drive about ten thousand kms a year. The gas mileage amazes me. The car is the nicest driving car I have ever driven . It is 6 years old and all I have done is change the front brakes, and recently the spark plugs and one ignition coil that went bad.

Keep fresh oil in the engine and keep up with the scheduled maintenance

My old sonata used to burn a ton of oil, it was BAD! About 3 months ago it got stolen and recovered, but the thieves ran the thing out of oil and froze up the engine. Oh well, I have a 2021 Corolla now and I’m happy as can be. And no, I didn’t buy it because of Scotty, I hadn’t started watching him yet.

have a 2013 hyundai sante fe sport 2.0T with 154,000 k/m has been a very good vehicle so far recently replaced the waste gate for the turbo at a cost of $1200. oil is always full has never burned any oil.
Why are some car brands so "unreliable" in the USA, but reliable everywhere else?
Hyundai's were never reliable compared to Japanese. They have better marketing & customer support tho.
Best check for ring wear is a leak down test
Rest In Peace Scotty 😞 you will be deeply missed. You have helped save me so much money
😔 RIP
RIP
Rip my big bro scotty
where did u guys hear this from?
@@megadragon10ful his newest video
Change the PCV 👍
Wow, complainin' about a quart of oil every 1K miles on a 170K car. Unbelievable!
its hyundai.
@@kuyre2239 haha funny. I've owned three hyundai/kia cars and none of them ever burnt oil. my santa fe has 170,000 on it.
Most go through a quart of oil every 1,000 miles after 105,000 miles.
@@Pktattooss totally agree !!
@@Pktattooss I owned an 03' Buick Lesabre that I had to recently get rid of because of rust issues. That car had a 3.8 lire V-6 engine with way over 200,000 miles on it and only burned a half a quart of oil every 3,000 miles.
My Kia Sportage 1.6d mild hybrid 2 years old 17000 miles drive belt tensioner problem running the engine took 6 months to fix handed it back to the garage.
RIP Scotty. You will be missed, you had millions of adoring fans and were the best car TH-camr ever. F the haters
lmao
He rests in peace every night before he wakes up. I’m not sure how you can miss someone that never left but ok
@@vibe1884 R.I.P ⚰🙏🏼😔😭🤧😣⚘
I had an oil burning Kia engine. Dealer tried to snow me with some new parts. I fought and they ended up putting a whole new engine in. They are nice at first but turn to trash after that!
SCOTTY RIP ...
We should all go to his house in Tennessee to pay respects
the burnt oil half a mustache Scotty has is best. Who is your cameraman ? I love these videos thank you for posting Scotty you’ve taught me so much
RIP SCOTTY!! REV UP YOUR ENGINES IN HEAVEN !! GOBBLESS.
I can't believe that is in spec. Say someone isnt auto savvy and not adding oil between changes, theyd be bringing in a car that is close to or is bone dry and ready to blow between their scheduled maintenance oil change.
My GF has a 2020 palisade that is burning oil. It has about 50,000 miles. She is on top of her oil changes. She was experiencing a shake at idle/stop. She was driving to the dealership because of it and it stalled on the way there. Incredible that this is found acceptable.
So sorry to hear of your passing. You will be missed, rev up your angel wings. RIP
Scottie didn't die.
@@BAK3D I wish that wasn't true.
Purchased a 2006 Hyundai Sonata V6 78,000 miles in 2011 for $7995-
Mileage is now at 148,000 miles and only maintenance I've done are replace a starter and oil changes!..My observation is stick with Hyundai cars 1998-2010..They seem to be very reliable.
RIP Scotty
hes not dead!!
@@fidelcatsro6948 you dont know that
Great video, I'm gonna be test driving a 2012 Elantra, 79,000 miles, soon. Even though it's a different model will look out for similar issues.
Very great car imo I have 2013 version with 170,000 miles on it runs like I just got it from the dealership very inexpensive to maintain
RiP Scotty 🥺🙏
May you rev gods engine in heaven
I have a Kia Sorento with the same engine, and it too burns some oil. With 5W20 full synthetic it burned ~1qt/1K miles. I switched to 5W30 synthetic blend and now it burns about about 3/4 quart every 2k miles.
