    Oil consumption problem with a 2017 Hyundai i30

    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai I30 Hyundai I30 Advice Hyundai I30 2017

    I have an oil consumption problem in my 2017 Hyundai i30. The warning light is flashing during a sudden stop or when turning left. To top it up it requires a full two litres of oil which then lasts about 1200km before needing another two litres. No oil leaks at all.

    Hyundai has had a few problems over the years with some of its engines developing piston slap, scoring cylinder bores and consuming excess oil. The later engine fitted to your car should be better, but it seems perhaps the problem is still occurring in some cars.

    The reality is that two litres of engine consumed over just 1200km is way beyond the pale. I would be contacting Hyundai Australia's customer service division to see what can be done. The company's response will have a lot to do with how many kilometres the car has covered and whether its service history is complete. But in my experience, Hyundai takes its responsibilities in this area very seriously.
