If that doesn't do it you have to balance: 1. The cost of a newer Hyundai 2. The cost of just adding oil more frequently 3. The cost of a new engine (don't buy a junker) 4.

Thank you all for your posts. The car fumes the most just after
starting. I see a lot of smoke smoke during idling and some when I step on the gas. |

What does the oil look like on the dipstick after running the engine? Clear
