Sonata 7500 mile checks
Hyundaitech,
If you get time to read this ... is there any reason to take my 06
Sonata into the dealer for the 7500 miles check? From what I read in
the owner's manual, it appears all of the checks are visual and I can
certainly check hoses, suspension fasteners, etc. Are any checks done
at the 7500 mile mark that require the scan tool or similar? I don't
mind giving my dealer business when necessary, but I don't see anything
at this point that really requires a pro.

What about an oil change? Unless you do that yourself.

Re: Sonata 7500 mile checks
The only thing it should need would be the oil change and, if you believe
in it, a tire rotation. I didn't believe in tire rotation until I owned a
front drive car which wore out the fronts quickly and chopped to backs
about as quickly.
No need for a scan tool unless you've got some malfunction indicator on.

I've done those myself, twice thus far. I replaced the OEM dino oil
with more dino oil at 2500 and then synthetic at 5,000. I plan to
change every 5,000 from now until the warranty expires and then probably
will go to 10,000 mile intervals.

Yes, I believe in tire rotation and do that at 10,000 mile intervals,
which is every other oil change for me. I've found that the 5-6,000
miles are just a waste of time with modern radial tires.
I do that myself along with the oil changes as it gives me a great
chance to inspect the brakes, brake hoses, CV boots, suspension parts, etc.
