2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz Maintenance Schedule

You’ve purchased a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz, one of the finest pickups on the market, and you love it. You chose the Santa Cruz to get America’s best warranty coverage. However, even with that protection, you still want to ensure your new truck runs at peak performance for as long as possible. To do that, you must perform routine maintenance according to the factory-recommended schedule. Fortunately, your owners manual details all this information and makes it easy to follow.

However, if you’ve misplaced your manual or prefer professional assistance, we’ve got you covered. We asked our service specialists at Hyundai of Auburn to produce the following maintenance schedule you can aim to follow so that you can enjoy your Santa Cruz ownership experience for as long as possible.

Hyundai 7,500-Mile or Six-Month Maintenance

However, you’ll need to complete the one-year service to continue getting the most from your truck. Here’s what we’ll do:

Hyundai 30,000-Mile or Two-Year Maintenance

At this stage, you’ve owned your Hyundai for at least two years. If you’ve continued to bring your Santa Cruz in for service every 7,500 miles, you probably won’t need any serious repairs. However, after 30,000 miles, we look deeper into your mechanical systems to ensure everything runs correctly. Here’s what we do at this stage:

• Change your engine oil and filter.

On average, Americans drive 12,000 miles a year, so you may only hit 60,000 miles in five years rather than four. Your Santa Cruz will still be in good shape if you don’t drive it hard and have kept up with regular maintenance thus far. Still, it’s best to have us do the following to keep your truck running well:

• Change your engine oil and filter.
