Hyundai Palisade Maintenance Guide
Are you the proud new owner of a Hyundai Palisade? If so, congratulations are in order.
You’re going to love what this three-row luxury SUV brings to the table. It’s one of the best Hyundai SUVs to ever hit the market — and it’s also one of the best SUV models overall right now.
Initially, you aren’t going to have to worry too much about maintaining your new Hyundai Palisade. But once you reach the 8,000-mile mark, it’ll be important for you to stay on top of all the maintenance that will need to be done. Call now to make an appointment.
Our team at Hyundai of Auburn, Alabama, has created this maintenance guide to help you keep your Hyundai Palisade in great shape for many years to come. Check it out below.
8,000 Miles
As we just alluded to, you won’t have to worry about doing too much maintenance to your Hyundai Palisade when you first buy it. But once you put about 8,000 miles on it, you’ll need to begin consulting this Hyundai Palisade maintenance guide on a more regular basis.
At the 8,000-mile mark, you’ll need to take these steps:
- Replace the engine oil and oil filter.
- Rotate the tires.
- Add fuel additive to the gas tank.
- Inspect the air cleaner filter.
- Evaluate the air conditioning compressor.
- Check the air conditioning refrigerant level.
- Check out the battery.
- See where the brake fluid stands.
- Analyze the brake lines and hoses.
- Get the brake pads inspected.
- Perform an inspection on the exhaust pipe and muffler.
- Have the steering gear rack looked at.
- Inspect the suspension bolts.
- Assess the vacuum hose.
By taking each of these steps, you’ll lay down a solid foundation for your Hyundai Palisade’s maintenance and you won’t have to worry about any unexpected problems popping up early on.
16,000 Miles
After you have your Hyundai Palisade serviced for the first time, you aren’t going to have to do it again for another 8,000 miles unless you experience any issues. As you’ll see when you work your way through this Hyundai Palisade maintenance guide, you should only have to get your SUV serviced about once every 8,000 miles.
When you get to the 16,000-mile mark, you’ll need to take all the different steps that you did at the 8,000-mile mark. But you’ll also need to throw these steps into the mix:
- Inspect the driveshafts and boots.
- Gauge the condition of the fuel lines, hoses, and connections.
- Evaluate the fuel tank air filter.
- Test out the parking brake.
- Sneak a peek at the propeller shaft.
- Analyze the vapor hose, fuel tank, and fuel cap.
Each of these additional steps will shine a light on how your Hyundai Palisade is holding up as you inch your way closer to the 20,000-mile mark.
24,000 Miles
Since you’ll be performing some advanced maintenance on your Hyundai Palisade at the 16,000-mile mark, you won’t have to worry about doing too much maintenance once you hit 24,000 miles. You can take most of the same steps you took at the 8,000-mile mark.
The one thing you’ll want to do differently is replace the air cleaner filter in your Hyundai Palisade as opposed to just inspecting it.
32,000 Miles
The 32,000-mile service will be almost identical to the 16,000-mile service. You’ll need to go through all the same steps that we touched on in our explanation of the 16,000-mile service for your Hyundai Palisade.
The only difference between the two services will be that, at the 32,000-mile mark, you’ll want to inspect the transfer case oil.
40,000 Miles
As you begin to put some serious miles on your Hyundai Palisade, you’ll eventually need to start taking additional steps while maintaining it. But at the 40,000-mile mark, you’ll still be able to get away with mostly just doing the basics.
You’re going to run through the same steps you completed at the 8,000-mile mark in this guide. At this point, you might also want to begin to get proactive and ask your service center about any concerns you may have about how your Hyundai Palisade is handling.
48,000 Miles
As you prepare to hit the 50,000-mile mark in your Hyundai Palisade, you’re going to need to have the brake fluid in it replaced. If you push the brake fluid much further than this, you might start to experience issues with your braking system.
You’ll also need to start inspecting the drive belts in your Hyundai Palisade. Although you shouldn’t have to replace drive belts just yet, it never hurts to keep a close eye on them.
56,000 Miles
If you’ve worked to maintain your Hyundai Palisade through its first 50,000 miles on the road, you should be able to scale back on the maintenance you’ll need to do when you reach 56,000 miles. You’ll need to inspect the drive belts at the 56,000-mile mark and then every time you have your Hyundai Palisade serviced from here on out.
64,000 Miles
Once you have 64,000 miles on your Hyundai Palisade, you’ll need to start taking maintenance more seriously. You can steer clear of encountering problems with your SUV by doing this.
During your 64,000-mile service, you’ll take many of the same steps you’ve previously taken at the 16,000-, 32,000-, and 48,000-mile marks. But there’ll be a few new steps that will need to be taken accordingly. For instance, you’ll need to replace the climate control air filter and inspect the rear differential oil and valve clearance at the 64,000-mile mark.
