Additional Notes

  • The Hyundai Sonata NF (EU) 2.0 petrol engine holds 6.4 liters of coolant when paired with an automatic transmission and 6.5 liters when paired with a manual transmission, reflecting the minor volume difference introduced by transmission-specific cooling circuit routing.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.0 petrol engine's coolant change interval is set at 30,000 km or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • A separate first-change-only schedule applies to the 2.0 petrol engine, under which a coolant check is due at 60,000 km or 48 months, followed by a change at 210,000 km or 120 months — a significantly extended interval compared to the normal use schedule.
  • The 2.0 CRDi diesel variant carries a cooling system capacity of 5.0 liters, which is notably lower than all petrol engine variants in the same lineup.
  • The 2.4i 16V engine holds 7.8 liters of coolant, the largest capacity among the four-cylinder configurations, and includes a dedicated check interval at 15,000 km or 12 months alongside a change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months.
  • The 3.3i V6 also holds 7.8 liters of coolant, matching the 2.4i 16V in capacity, yet carries a longer change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months under normal use conditions.
  • Across the petrol engines, the 2.0 and 2.4i 16V share the same 30,000 km or 24-month change interval under normal use, while the 3.3i V6 extends to 45,000 km or 36 months despite an identical system capacity to the 2.4i 16V.
