What is the difference between major and minor Tune Up?
Yes and is air filter a part of tune up?
How can you tell you need tune up? My Hyundai Accent book says I have to do it every 2 years. So what do you guys think? Thanks |

The year thing is the maximum time between changes, so if you dont drive far you still need to do the change. lets go through the parts with TYPICAL value's ( I have a lantra wagon, not a baby ) "Oil change Service" Oil & oil filter - every 15thous, or a year. "tune up service" Petrol filter alternator/aircon/power steering belts spark plugs air filter radiator water every 2 years, or 30 thou Cam timing belt Every 100,000 thousand km or 4 years. However because the cost of changing the complete set of filters and belts and plugs is large, Hydundai split the "tune up service" into two. and do them 15thousand km apart. (I guess they might call one of these a major service, the other a minor tune up) There will be the cam belt change at some stage. Leon |

I think you are not in USA cuz your numbers in km instead of miles.
Second I don't think 15K miles or 1 year for oil change is right. Here in the USA 3000 miles for oil change is the requirement.

So what do you guys think? > Thanks Most of the "tune-up items on the dealer's list are "inspect". This means you can do it yourself. As for oil changes and filter every 3000 miles for both change gas filter 50,000 - k&n air filter every 50,000 miles or reoil (don't suggest). New plugs NGK preferably every 30,000. Tires, brakes as per necessary and you should be fine. Every two years fluid change for antifreeze, four years check main hoses. If you have an auto replace tranny fluid (exact Hyundai brand) every 12-15,000 K. Inspect at 30,000 mile intervals and replace Timing Belt and Water Pump and Serpentine Belt before $60,000K. That's what I do and my car runs well with 58,000 miles on it. Already have belts done and new water pump. Car works great. Follow my advice and you should get 150,000 miles out of your Accent. I plan on it. |

You are overmaintaining your vehicle unless you are driving in "severe conditions" ie. lots of dust, many short trips where engine doesn't fully warm up, etc. It depends on the vehicle and your location as well as driving conditions. The recommended oil/filter change interval for the Santa FE V6 AWD auto is 6000 to 6500km, it has platinum plugs replacement schedule 100,000km, etc. All inspections are clearly laid out in the owners manual, based on time and distance, whichever comes first. Timing belt replacement is 100,000km, not 60,000km. Transmission Fluid 48,000km. etc. |
Re: What is the difference between major and minor Tune Up?
If it were kilometers that I was talking about you'd be right. I'm
from the States and am talking in terms of K meaning 1,000 as in I make 40K or my car has 40K on it. Understand the confusion. Otherwise I think we are congruent. Peace. |

Here > in the USA 3000 miles for oil change is the requirement. Maybye the 3000 miles guideline there might be because the car might spend a lot of time stopped in heavy traffic. Or maybe because you have more money to spend. Anyway, the difference in major and minor is just the complexity of the service and the difference is arbitrary. You end up with all sorts of services, ones which change external belts, one which changes the spark plugs, and stuff. There isnt really any tuning, its all just servicing, because the computer looks after the timing. in the old days, an engine needed tuning as the mechanisms in the distributor wore down.. |
