I'm with you!! Own a 2016 and going through oil like no tomorrow!! Also don't know how the car last because I checked one day and not one bit of oil on the dip stick!!
Take it to your dealer there’s actually a class action lawsuit against Hyundai and you can get the warranty on the engine extended indefinitely and the engine replaced. Some dealers will try to give you the runaround but this is a real thing look it up guys happen to me on my 2016
Hyundai has settled several class action suits regarding their failing engines. This has been going of for 10 -15 years. Their issues continue. This is not a PVC issue. There is now a class action suit filed against Hyundai regarding the excessive oil consumption. Keep all your receipts for oil you purchase etc. as when this settles you very well may get reimbursed for your costs.
Having issues with oil consumption, for a while now. Went through the testing, for nothing car is still consuming oil. Hyundai now wants to keep my car 3- 7 days and want me to pay for a diagnostic to see what’s wrong with it. How do I get information on how be added to the lawsuit?
My son just called me about oil consumption and I found this video, GOOD VIDEO. one thing I noticed , on the opposite side of the PCV valve, there is a hose right after the air filter going to the valve cover. Just make sure is Not KINK. Thanks
Hmmm...just checked my dipstick. Oil was changed 5,000 miles ago. Oil is barely a little finger nail high. WTF. I brought it to the dealer as I had an extended warranty. They did a fuel service and said by the way get your oil changed ASAP. I thought that was weird. I should have put 2 and 2 together. They know something was wrong but don't want to tell the customer because the dealer would be responsible for the engine work not the warranty. The warranty expired last month after 10 years and my gas mileage is still worse than my 22 year old Porsche. Sounds like this engine has a major issue with carbon deposits. Why didn't I buy that used Lexus...
Having the same problem now with the same car, it was doing good for years but now this is a big issue at 131k miles. Yep, I will stay away from Hyundai even though they are making better engines these days.
I got the car with around 95k miles, every time that I checked the dip stick there would be alittle dot of oil on it. Around the time I traded it in it was much worse to the point that I was putting a quart or two in it every 2 weeks. Also it was at 105k.
@@gerardomartinezgolf it never failed on me thankfully. I was nervous that it was going to, so I decided to get rid of it. Besides that issue it was a great car!
2016 sonata...112,000 miles. I just took mine to a dealer because I'm burning between 3-5 quarts in between oil changes and they told me the engine replacement lawsuit does not cover oil consumption. Only if your engine fails because of parts. So if you're out of warranty your s*** out of luck...dont buy a hyundai ever. Crap company... Crap cars and even crappier salesmen.
Ah yea my engine did die at 150K I put $1200 to fix it and now I need an oil change every 700 miles NO JOKE. And I’ve taken great care of my 16 sonata. The worst part is when it died I DID take to a Hyundai dealer and they told me it’s not in the lawsuit or recall. So I repaired it 3rd party. But I called today since Hyundai sent out those letters for the HMA settlement and they told me the software update my car had in 2019 should of worked with the check engine (but it never did) and the dealership when it did die should of covered me.. but I missed the deadline to get reimbursed for the repairs August 9th of 2021 😢… so Hyundai LEGIT screwed me over. I did the right thing, I freeekin tried and I’m still stuck with a car that’s going to die soon. I’m so mad like I’m beyond upset about it all. I’m afraid to drive it and now Idk what to do. It feels like it runs fine but with this oil issue… man idk 🤷🏻♀️
Some think that the problem is a result of the design to short pistons (to save engine moving weight / mass, and improve fuel mileage); and, the piston oil control rings becoming clogged with carbon -- thus, not clearing enough oil from the cylinder walls during each piston stroke. High detergent motor oil may help remove some of the carbon from the oil control rings ---MAY help.
That's completely wrong. Most transverse mounted engines are undersquare (taller piston travel, smaller bore). They have to be this way in order to fit into the engine bay with the transaxle. You can design around a tall engine. You might not be able to design around a WIDE engine. This engine has an 88mm bore, 97 mm stroke. It's actually quite a bit oversquare. If it was the other way around, those numbers would be reversed. Every manufacturer wants to use oversquare engines today as their thermal efficiency is higher. Basically, better fuel economy. We own this same engine, and it feels very fragile and makes uncomfortable noises. As a mechanic, my ears are tuned to hearing small details in car engines. And ours just doesn't sound right. It only has 110,000 miles, too.

I have a 2016 sonata se. Always get oil changes every 3-5k miles. I’m not due for an oil change for another 1k miles and I have no oil. My dipstick was bone dry. Doesn’t Hyundai have a recall for this? It’s insane how much oil my car uses
There’s a class action lawsuit against Hyundai for this issue at the moment, but since it hasn’t been settled yet there has been no recall. Been having the same issue on my 2018 sonata limited for months now.
This is happening to my daughters 2016 Hyandai Sonata also! Every week or two the oil is bone dry, we have to add about 4 1/2 quarts every other week. Pay more for oil than we do gas 😡
Daughters 2015 Sonata Sport burns a quart every 600 miles. Ridiculous. Changed the PCV valve also, no difference. She's almost run it out of oil twice. Down to sludge each time. My advice, stay away from Hyundai Sonatas!
@@michaelhines4600 Call Hyundai. Tell them you know about a recall on Hyundais for burning oil. Tell them you want it tested to see if your car is one of them. And/or contact the attorneys doing class action lawsuit.
In order to attempt to fix this issue is to do a combustion chamber cleaning service and replace pcv valve. I always recommend BG EPR service along with this and fuel induction service. Sometimes it fixes the issue, sometimes it doesn't.
2018 Sonata SE mileage a lil over 51,000. Told they couldn't find source of excessive oil usage, however, I've been advised to have combustion cleaning that will slow down the oil usage. Car also slow to accelerate after slow down or complete stop. That issue still haven't been addressed.
Read what I said above. Hyundai has a service bulletin declaring after market oil filters, including one from FACTORY! 42,000 easy miles on mine and 5 quarts burned this year
Try a good engine flush. GDI’s benefit from this since the Piston rings get clogged by carbon buildup and get stuck. Or you could have a bad PVC valve. The vale did nothing for me. I thought it was the Valve stem seals, and after a new Cylinder Head it smoked just as bad. I just tried LiquiMoly engine flush and my car already doesn’t smoke under hard acceleration. After that we may just have bad piston rings.

THIS IS NOT A PCV ISSUE!! just Google about the class action lawsuit. There are a lot of components in this engine design for better fuel mileage that is causing it to burn oil by the way, take that suit off and quit pretending you are a racecar driver.
The problem is the engine design itself. It's a GDi engine, meaning gas is directly injected in the chambers where the combustion occurs. Thus, increasing temperatures causes burning of the oil (this occurs whenever the pistons are fired). Its a clever design but Hyundai should've ran extensive long-term trial testings. Note you can see "blue" smoke coming out of your muffler, meaning its buring "synthetic" oil. Also its not all Hyundai models, for example Hyundai Rondo uses DOHC engine (a reliable engine that been design for almost a century).
I put in about 2 qts every 500 miles. And easy smoking if I accelerate to much. I just ran a bottle of LiquiMoly Engine Flush yesterday, and today I I tried to make it smoke and I can’t say I noticed anything. I’m sure I need to run another bottle. But I think I can at least go 1000 miles without using 2 qts.
@@chaselesser3191 keep track of the results week by week and keep us posted. Using LiquiMoly is an extra cost though. The issue is the burning of oil caused by the engine design using direct injection...
@@chaselesser3191 Do let us know when you get a chance! From my small tests, I noticed if you run the engine at a constant temperature, less oil is burned. For example, here in Canada the weather in December is pretty cold for where the engine can combust gas more efficiently (cold air is more condensed) and I didn't need to add any oil for almost 3 weeks - the dip stick reads Full.

This did NOT work, I ordered the part took it to mechanic and he and the manager both said they didn't think this would work, but switched it out for me. Within a week, a quart and a half were already gone! Thank goodness the part was about $10 so I wasn't out too much, but it's a waste of time and money.
I tried everything and I am still putting almost 2 quarts of oil in. I have a 2017 Hyundai sonata sport with 100,400 miles. The Hyundai dealer says it may be still under warranty and that it is a well known problem. But they won't tell me what the problem is on this recall. Can you help and let me know what the problem is.

I wish I had seen this vid two years ago when I had oil pouring out of the valve cover on top (2015 Sonata). It cost me several hundred dollars for a new cover, plugs, wiring, and labor. I then drove across the USA 2400 miles, and it only used about 1/4 quart of oil.
Im not sure if this is my issue because after getting the car I checked the oil for months and it never seemed to decrease. And then when I went to the mechanic they didnt see anything wrong, and I eventually decided pour a bottle of oil in it that's for 75,000 mileage or more. Just twice for the wintery month randomly driving for more than 10 minutes I smell something burning, was thinking it could been oil and the burning doesn't last long either but I'm not sure.
My 2014 Sonata is burning Oil like Crazy 🤪 I’m at 135K and the DipStick is always dry. The oil loss began relatively slowly about 50K miles ago and now the car needs to be checked every 4-500 miles. Does anyone know if Lucas Treatment helps? Can the engine blow? I need to drive this beast cross country.
I have shown hundreds of your videos to people due to your raw talent, but almost all of them state the same thing "I can't understand him because he talks WAY to fast. I usually ask them if it's his accent, most say no, they could keep up with you if you slowed down. One more thing, I can't count how many people say "if he says the word "GUYS" one more time I'm going to find a different video. I have to agree with these people, slow down and cut way back on the word "guys". I think your viewer count would sky rocket over night.
Came here to determine why my neighbors Sonata keeps running out of oil. A few months ago, she said it "just turned off" while driving, and we discovered it had run out of oil. She had it flushed and refilled at the shop, and now less than 3 months later, it's taken in for an oil change and they said there was only 2 quarts in it to drain!
I’d suggest trying a good Engine Flush. I just tried Liqui Moly, before I could make my car smoke almost on command, after the flush I tried even harder and couldn’t tell any smoking. I’m sure I may need to run another bottle later. But I have high hopes as I can already see I’m not burning as much oil.
@@chaselesser3191how’s it doing lol I just bought one it didn’t have much oil but I got it for 500 and the prevalent problems were the wheel bearings so I took a chance 125k miles

I just went to a hyundai dealer yesterday. Service guy said Hyundai has increased the warranty due to these oil problems and will replace the engine. Problem is they will only replace it if it completely seizes up first. At that point you tow it into a dealer and start the paperwork and repairs. Call a dealer to verify this first!!!
Its not a PCV value issue. Its a ring issue with all 4 cyl engines. Bad design. Even the service managers at the dealers even confirmed this. Rule of thumb dont buy any Hyundai or Kia vehicles.
2015 Hyundai Sonata... told Hyundai considers 1 qt/1,000 miles acceptable.... I've driven a lot of "beaters" in my life and never have I had a vehicle that burned oil at that rate.... that's like a quart per 30-40 gallons of fuel.... i have a 2 stroke weedeater that doesn't require that kind of oil-to-fuel ratio
My 2014 gls is messing up i always change every 3k miles and it was on 2,500 milea and my oil light came in and out and no oil in dipstick now ima change it every 2k miles
FYI there are two possible PCV valve part numbers. 26740-2G000 and 26740-2G600. Prior to ordering a new valve pull the hose and if you have a blue valve (like in the video), you will need 26740-2G600.
However!!!!! My 2018 had 36,500 easy miles and the light came on. It was 2.5 quarts low. Hyundai service bulletin said its the after market oil filters and even one of Hyundai s factory filters. So, since June I've burned another 2 quarts in 5,000 miles. The car barely has 42,000 and there are zero leaks anywhere on the engine and it's not burning oil. I think it's sludging up inside the engine walls. I'm very mad at Hyundai

have ongoing issue with 16 sonata..dealer pretty much told me to drive the car until it blows up...have done multiple oil consumption test, all indicate a qt of oil per 1K miles burning, Hyundai claim this is normal...shocking
My mother had hers get its oil tested by driving it till it was nearly out of oil like 5 different. Ofc she was just over the mileage to be eligible for an engine replacement. The trans gave out at 120k and the current motor has 139k
Same exact thing with my 2016 Hyundai sonata. I'm just about to pay it off and I'm carrying around a 5qrt jug of oil in my trunk bc I'm afraid of blowing up my engine.
Mine only made it to 58,000 miles before this started happening. Almost had it paid off and the warranty expired in Jan. Right when this all started happening. I pretty much was told I can only sell it and start over new.
My 2014 Sonata Limited I’ve driven less than 1500 miles on a full synthetic oil change and it’s already to the low level where I have to add oil. No leaks, everything runs great. I even drive with it on Eco most of the time. Just started happening more frequently when I hit 100k. Between 60-90k I only had to add maybe a quart of oil after 2500 miles, with majority highway miles. I love my car but this oil problem is gonna make me go broke. 😅

Can anyone help me I'm in the Caribbean with a 2012 hyundai i45 and I'm looking to find parts for it but It's really really hard...can someone drop a site or something where I can order from
Yes. We have a 2017 Sonata. I had the dealer change mine out after they said they couldn't find an oil leak. I told them it's leaking oil out of the exhaust pipe. They told me that after 100K miles, according to hyundai-it's acceptable to burn 1 qt. of oil in between oil changes! I told them it's not acceptable to me! I asked them if they checked the PCV valve and they said no because hyundai doesn't require them to check that for an oil leak out the exhaust! WHAT? I couldn't believe it either. So I asked the service dept. to have the mechanic check the PVC valve. Long story short-it was bad! Unfortunately this didn't stop the oil leaking out the exhaust. Was told by hyundai that we'd need to do an upper engine flush to the tune of $600 to fix the oil leak. The leak stopped for about a month-it's back. Looking at getting a new car. This is the first time I've had a bad experience with hyundai. From everything I've read here-I've been exceptionally lucky. Hope this helps.
Hyundai has a service bulletin stating aftermarket oil filters cause approximately 250psi inside the engine. They even had one FACTORY FILTER that caused this. Normal oil psi is around 50-60
My 2015 hyundi sonata motor just blew at 82,000 miles. Burned excessive amounts of oil from day one. Asked hyundi mechanic about it and he said it was normal. I am beyond pissed I still owe 9000 $
OMG! Thank u for this comment. I am currently going thru the same thing. My car has only 78,000 when the engine blew. I literally had no oil in my car and this was the 2nd time it happened and couldn't figure out why. I had no knowledge of the excessive oil consumption these cars have until doing some research. I know one thing, I still owe on this car as well so Hyundai better fix it!
@@Swinton30 I had my car towed to the hyundai dealership with a folder full of receipts from every service and oil change I had done to my car. Their mechanic contacted corporate and they requested they remove the intake manifold and take pictures. Mechanic said there was no sludge and oil levels were perfect . I checked my oil religiously and followed all recommended service schedules. We got a brand new long block engine with a lifetime warranty. Free. I hope and pray you have good luck and good honest hyundai employees so you have a positive experience like I did. My car runs perfect now.
I have 2015 Sonata sport. Oil changed every 3000 miles and I always smell oil burning. Bought it brand new. Now it's 2024 what can I do? That the only issue besides regular maintenance like getting new brakes and tires. She passes emissions also.

My KIA started burning oil under 50K miles. Dealer just did a 2nd piston soak after 1st failed consumption test. If 2nd fails I am expecting a new engine.. These new GDI engines and ones with new piston rings are CRAP! You have to take special care with them. MORE frequent oil changes and use TOP TIER gas or add PEA treatments. Drive some place at higher RPMS to burn off carbon!! Take special care or you will pay BIG $$$$$ on new catalytic converters!!
The problem is not the pcv valve, it's carbon build up on the intake valve, because the gas direct injection does no wash fuel over the intake valve to clean it. Replacing the pcv valve will not fix the problem.
@@Monzerelli - In theory, you would need to pull the heads, and have the valves and seats cleaned of carbon buildup. Depending on mileage, I would just have the heads rebuilt, including new valve seals. Should get another 100K miles before they carbon up again.
@@Monzerelli - Haven't had any done in 30 years. Used to be able to drop them off at a machine shop, where they would redo them. I would suggest contacting a local mechanic, and get a quote. I'm sure it would be over $1500, but that's a conservative guess. Most mechanics, pull head, send it out to be rebuilt, and then reinstall them.
Mine is a 2017 and I go through plenty oil between oil changes. I always make sure it’s full synthetic and not the blend. I tried to see if my year and model was not part of the lawsuit but I don’t see anything about my specific Sonata. They said last oil changes there were no leaks or major issues they saw. Is this normal and what did you guys do? I’m tired of being burned by AZ mechanics seeing a woman and thinking CHA-CHING! They’ve really taken advantage of me on my Honda and I don’t want them to get over on me again!!!!

This guy lies. Replacing pcv valve didn't help me to reduce Hyundai Sonata 2016 engine oil consumption. The problem is Hyundai factory shortcoming. Meanwhile, this guy increased the sales of pcv valve that otherwise no one knows about it
It can but usually NOT. I have a KIA oil burner that started at 50K or less. It just went through a 2nd piston soak at dealer and waiting to see if this one helped. If not, expecting a new engine.
2015 Hyundai sonata 2.4 I just took it in for the second oil consumption test for every 1000 miles. No oil leaks what so ever Two quarts low in a 1000 miles! Two more tests for that .. then.. They are starting a engine cleaner test 3 more times to see if that fixes the problem. Wtf? I'm going to be at Hyundai more than I'd like..

Came to comments and realized I’m not alone with burning 3-4 quarts in between oil changes. 2016 sonata . Trash
I’m glad I’m not alone. Mine burns the same ammount and no leak but runs perfect t
Fucking same hella annoying gotta make sure it's not too low so I don't blow my shit up
I'm with you!! Own a 2016 and going through oil like no tomorrow!! Also don't know how the car last because I checked one day and not one bit of oil on the dip stick!!
If ur rpm go upto 2 then oil burns if rpm stay under 2 no oil burns
Take it to your dealer there’s actually a class action lawsuit against Hyundai and you can get the warranty on the engine extended indefinitely and the engine replaced. Some dealers will try to give you the runaround but this is a real thing look it up guys happen to me on my 2016
Hyundai has settled several class action suits regarding their failing engines. This has been going of for 10 -15 years. Their issues continue. This is not a PVC issue. There is now a class action suit filed against Hyundai regarding the excessive oil consumption. Keep all your receipts for oil you purchase etc. as when this settles you very well may get reimbursed for your costs.
Dang cuz I’ve bought a ton of oil the past 2 years😂
They replace the engines for free. I’ve taken 3 in so far and got brand new engines installed.
@@coreythomas2346 wow, where?
Car blew up cause of it
Having issues with oil consumption, for a while now. Went through the testing, for nothing car is still consuming oil. Hyundai now wants to keep my car 3- 7 days and want me to pay for a diagnostic to see what’s wrong with it. How do I get information on how be added to the lawsuit?
My son just called me about oil consumption and I found this video, GOOD VIDEO. one thing I noticed , on the opposite side of the PCV valve, there is a hose right after the air filter going to the valve cover. Just make sure is Not KINK. Thanks
Hmmm...just checked my dipstick. Oil was changed 5,000 miles ago. Oil is barely a little finger nail high. WTF. I brought it to the dealer as I had an extended warranty. They did a fuel service and said by the way get your oil changed ASAP. I thought that was weird. I should have put 2 and 2 together. They know something was wrong but don't want to tell the customer because the dealer would be responsible for the engine work not the warranty. The warranty expired last month after 10 years and my gas mileage is still worse than my 22 year old Porsche. Sounds like this engine has a major issue with carbon deposits. Why didn't I buy that used Lexus...
You should check you oil EVERY month for normal driving or if you're on a road trip, every few days!
I have the same problem with my 2013 Sonata GLS. I pretty much put a quart of oil in every month. I’ll never buy from Hyundai again.
has it failed on you? Also, how many miles do you have on it?
Having the same problem now with the same car, it was doing good for years but now this is a big issue at 131k miles. Yep, I will stay away from Hyundai even though they are making better engines these days.
You lucky I have to put 4 quarts in every 3 weeks
I got the car with around 95k miles, every time that I checked the dip stick there would be alittle dot of oil on it. Around the time I traded it in it was much worse to the point that I was putting a quart or two in it every 2 weeks. Also it was at 105k.
@@gerardomartinezgolf it never failed on me thankfully. I was nervous that it was going to, so I decided to get rid of it. Besides that issue it was a great car!
2016 sonata...112,000 miles. I just took mine to a dealer because I'm burning between 3-5 quarts in between oil changes and they told me the engine replacement lawsuit does not cover oil consumption. Only if your engine fails because of parts. So if you're out of warranty your s*** out of luck...dont buy a hyundai ever. Crap company... Crap cars and even crappier salesmen.
I have noticed my 2017 is burning quite a bit. What is the warranty cut off , I’m at like 75k miles or so.
Ah yea my engine did die at 150K I put $1200 to fix it and now I need an oil change every 700 miles NO JOKE. And I’ve taken great care of my 16 sonata. The worst part is when it died I DID take to a Hyundai dealer and they told me it’s not in the lawsuit or recall. So I repaired it 3rd party. But I called today since Hyundai sent out those letters for the HMA settlement and they told me the software update my car had in 2019 should of worked with the check engine (but it never did) and the dealership when it did die should of covered me.. but I missed the deadline to get reimbursed for the repairs August 9th of 2021 😢… so Hyundai LEGIT screwed me over. I did the right thing, I freeekin tried and I’m still stuck with a car that’s going to die soon. I’m so mad like I’m beyond upset about it all. I’m afraid to drive it and now Idk what to do. It feels like it runs fine but with this oil issue… man idk 🤷🏻♀️

Report Hyundai to NHTSA AND THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE NEWS MEDIA channel 5, channel 7
There's a class action lawsuit about this oil consumption issue, so that might help you eventually I hope
Some think that the problem is a result of the design to short pistons (to save engine moving weight / mass, and improve fuel mileage); and, the piston oil control rings becoming clogged with carbon -- thus, not clearing enough oil from the cylinder walls during each piston stroke. High detergent motor oil may help remove some of the carbon from the oil control rings ---MAY help.
That's completely wrong. Most transverse mounted engines are undersquare (taller piston travel, smaller bore). They have to be this way in order to fit into the engine bay with the transaxle. You can design around a tall engine. You might not be able to design around a WIDE engine. This engine has an 88mm bore, 97 mm stroke. It's actually quite a bit oversquare. If it was the other way around, those numbers would be reversed. Every manufacturer wants to use oversquare engines today as their thermal efficiency is higher. Basically, better fuel economy. We own this same engine, and it feels very fragile and makes uncomfortable noises. As a mechanic, my ears are tuned to hearing small details in car engines. And ours just doesn't sound right. It only has 110,000 miles, too.
My 2020 kona started burning oil, gotta check it now every other day. Way to go Hyundai!

I have a 2016 sonata se. Always get oil changes every 3-5k miles. I’m not due for an oil change for another 1k miles and I have no oil. My dipstick was bone dry. Doesn’t Hyundai have a recall for this? It’s insane how much oil my car uses
I have a 2016 sonata sport and go through 3-4 quarts between oil changes, it's ridiculous the amount of oil this car uses.
I have the same car and the same issue.
There’s a class action lawsuit against Hyundai for this issue at the moment, but since it hasn’t been settled yet there has been no recall. Been having the same issue on my 2018 sonata limited for months now.
This is happening to my daughters 2016 Hyandai Sonata also! Every week or two the oil is bone dry, we have to add about 4 1/2 quarts every other week. Pay more for oil than we do gas 😡
@@hadansbeauty8645 where can go to sign on
My sonata runs perfect no oil leak no problems at all in the years Iv had it engine wise but it burns oil like crazy
Have you tried an engine flush?
Mine runs fine I just have to check the oil constantly.
Me too! No leaks but need a wild change like ever month and a half!
Daughters 2015 Sonata Sport burns a quart every 600 miles. Ridiculous. Changed the PCV valve also, no difference. She's almost run it out of oil twice. Down to sludge each time. My advice, stay away from Hyundai Sonatas!
Mine as well. I plan to stay away from Hyundai period. I went to the dealer yesterday and there is nothing they can do
@@michaelhines4600 Call Hyundai. Tell them you know about a recall on Hyundais for burning oil. Tell them you want it tested to see if your car is one of them. And/or contact the attorneys doing class action lawsuit.
Its the GDI engines they switched to in 2012. All my hyundais since then have been shxt. My 2009 which was a DOHC engine still runs like a champ
In order to attempt to fix this issue is to do a combustion chamber cleaning service and replace pcv valve. I always recommend BG EPR service along with this and fuel induction service. Sometimes it fixes the issue, sometimes it doesn't.
2018 Sonata SE mileage a lil over 51,000. Told they couldn't find source of excessive oil usage, however, I've been advised to have combustion cleaning that will slow down the oil usage. Car also slow to accelerate after slow down or complete stop. That issue still haven't been addressed.
Read what I said above. Hyundai has a service bulletin declaring after market oil filters, including one from FACTORY! 42,000 easy miles on mine and 5 quarts burned this year
Try a good engine flush. GDI’s benefit from this since the Piston rings get clogged by carbon buildup and get stuck. Or you could have a bad PVC valve. The vale did nothing for me. I thought it was the Valve stem seals, and after a new Cylinder Head it smoked just as bad.
I just tried LiquiMoly engine flush and my car already doesn’t smoke under hard acceleration.
After that we may just have bad piston rings.

THIS IS NOT A PCV ISSUE!! just Google about the class action lawsuit. There are a lot of components in this engine design for better fuel mileage that is causing it to burn oil by the way, take that suit off and quit pretending you are a racecar driver.
The problem is the engine design itself. It's a GDi engine, meaning gas is directly injected in the chambers where the combustion occurs. Thus, increasing temperatures causes burning of the oil (this occurs whenever the pistons are fired). Its a clever design but Hyundai should've ran extensive long-term trial testings.
Note you can see "blue" smoke coming out of your muffler, meaning its buring "synthetic" oil.
Also its not all Hyundai models, for example Hyundai Rondo uses DOHC engine (a reliable engine that been design for almost a century).
I put in about 2 qts every 500 miles. And easy smoking if I accelerate to much.
I just ran a bottle of LiquiMoly Engine Flush yesterday, and today I I tried to make it smoke and I can’t say I noticed anything. I’m sure I need to run another bottle. But I think I can at least go 1000 miles without using 2 qts.
@@chaselesser3191 keep track of the results week by week and keep us posted. Using LiquiMoly is an extra cost though.
The issue is the burning of oil caused by the engine design using direct injection...
@@dool1002 I drive 100miles/day. So I should be able to see quick results. Though I’m about to be on vacation for about 2-3 weeks
@@chaselesser3191 Do let us know when you get a chance! From my small tests, I noticed if you run the engine at a constant temperature, less oil is burned. For example, here in Canada the weather in December is pretty cold for where the engine can combust gas more efficiently (cold air is more condensed) and I didn't need to add any oil for almost 3 weeks - the dip stick reads Full.

This did NOT work, I ordered the part took it to mechanic and he and the manager both said they didn't think this would work, but switched it out for me. Within a week, a quart and a half were already gone! Thank goodness the part was about $10 so I wasn't out too much, but it's a waste of time and money.
Just go to the dealer get a diagnostic and have them warranty the motor work

I wish I had seen this vid two years ago when I had oil pouring out of the valve cover on top (2015 Sonata). It cost me several hundred dollars for a new cover, plugs, wiring, and labor. I then drove across the USA 2400 miles, and it only used about 1/4 quart of oil.
Im not sure if this is my issue because after getting the car I checked the oil for months and it never seemed to decrease. And then when I went to the mechanic they didnt see anything wrong, and I eventually decided pour a bottle of oil in it that's for 75,000 mileage or more. Just twice for the wintery month randomly driving for more than 10 minutes I smell something burning, was thinking it could been oil and the burning doesn't last long either but I'm not sure.
My 2014 Sonata is burning Oil like Crazy 🤪 I’m at 135K and the DipStick is always dry. The oil loss began relatively slowly about 50K miles ago and now the car needs to be checked every 4-500 miles.
Does anyone know if Lucas Treatment helps? Can the engine blow?
I need to drive this beast cross country.
I have shown hundreds of your videos to people due to your raw talent, but almost all of them state the same thing "I can't understand him because he talks WAY to fast. I usually ask them if it's his accent, most say no, they could keep up with you if you slowed down. One more thing, I can't count how many people say "if he says the word "GUYS" one more time I'm going to find a different video. I have to agree with these people, slow down and cut way back on the word "guys". I think your viewer count would sky rocket over night.
Maybe you need ear cleaning
Came here to determine why my neighbors Sonata keeps running out of oil. A few months ago, she said it "just turned off" while driving, and we discovered it had run out of oil. She had it flushed and refilled at the shop, and now less than 3 months later, it's taken in for an oil change and they said there was only 2 quarts in it to drain!
I’d suggest trying a good Engine Flush. I just tried Liqui Moly, before I could make my car smoke almost on command, after the flush I tried even harder and couldn’t tell any smoking.
I’m sure I may need to run another bottle later. But I have high hopes as I can already see I’m not burning as much oil.
@@chaselesser3191how’s it doing lol I just bought one it didn’t have much oil but I got it for 500 and the prevalent problems were the wheel bearings so I took a chance 125k miles

I just went to a hyundai dealer yesterday. Service guy said Hyundai has increased the warranty due to these oil problems and will replace the engine. Problem is they will only replace it if it completely seizes up first. At that point you tow it into a dealer and start the paperwork and repairs. Call a dealer to verify this first!!!
Its not a PCV value issue. Its a ring issue with all 4 cyl engines. Bad design. Even the service managers at the dealers even confirmed this. Rule of thumb dont buy any Hyundai or Kia vehicles.
Is there any way to fix this problem
@@anthonyarrighi2159 you must replace engine
2015 sonata 2.0t with 114k miles and oil consumption has increased within the past year and a half, idk what to do, time for a trade in?
2015 Hyundai Sonata... told Hyundai considers 1 qt/1,000 miles acceptable.... I've driven a lot of "beaters" in my life and never have I had a vehicle that burned oil at that rate.... that's like a quart per 30-40 gallons of fuel.... i have a 2 stroke weedeater that doesn't require that kind of oil-to-fuel ratio
You are right. I have a 2013 Sonata and it burns oil. I had a 2003 Honda Accord and never had to top up between oil changes.
My 2014 gls is messing up i always change every 3k miles and it was on 2,500 milea and my oil light came in and out and no oil in dipstick now ima change it every 2k miles
FYI there are two possible PCV valve part numbers. 26740-2G000 and 26740-2G600. Prior to ordering a new valve pull the hose and if you have a blue valve (like in the video), you will need 26740-2G600.
However!!!!! My 2018 had 36,500 easy miles and the light came on. It was 2.5 quarts low. Hyundai service bulletin said its the after market oil filters and even one of Hyundai s factory filters. So, since June I've burned another 2 quarts in 5,000 miles. The car barely has 42,000 and there are zero leaks anywhere on the engine and it's not burning oil. I think it's sludging up inside the engine walls. I'm very mad at Hyundai
What if I already change the pcv valve what else should cause burning too much oil

My mother had hers get its oil tested by driving it till it was nearly out of oil like 5 different. Ofc she was just over the mileage to be eligible for an engine replacement. The trans gave out at 120k and the current motor has 139k
Same thing dealership just told me today
My dealer told me im SOL too. I just hit 103k in my 2017. I drove my car 1000 miles and oil pan is empty. Smh. Never buy Hyundair ever again
Same exact thing with my 2016 Hyundai sonata. I'm just about to pay it off and I'm carrying around a 5qrt jug of oil in my trunk bc I'm afraid of blowing up my engine.
Mine only made it to 58,000 miles before this started happening. Almost had it paid off and the warranty expired in Jan. Right when this all started happening. I pretty much was told I can only sell it and start over new.
My 2014 Sonata Limited I’ve driven less than 1500 miles on a full synthetic oil change and it’s already to the low level where I have to add oil. No leaks, everything runs great. I even drive with it on Eco most of the time. Just started happening more frequently when I hit 100k. Between 60-90k I only had to add maybe a quart of oil after 2500 miles, with majority highway miles. I love my car but this oil problem is gonna make me go broke. 😅

Can anyone help me I'm in the Caribbean with a 2012 hyundai i45 and I'm looking to find parts for it but It's really really hard...can someone drop a site or something where I can order from
QUESTION: I think he cuts it off at 2015. Does anyone think the same part should be changed in the 2017?
Yes. We have a 2017 Sonata.
I had the dealer change mine out after they said they couldn't find an oil leak. I told them it's leaking oil out of the exhaust pipe. They told me that after 100K miles, according to hyundai-it's acceptable to burn 1 qt. of oil in between oil changes! I told them it's not acceptable to me! I asked them if they checked the PCV valve and they said no because hyundai doesn't require them to check that for an oil leak out the exhaust! WHAT? I couldn't believe it either. So I asked the service dept. to have the mechanic check the PVC valve. Long story short-it was bad! Unfortunately this didn't stop the oil leaking out the exhaust. Was told by hyundai that we'd need to do an upper engine flush to the tune of $600 to fix the oil leak. The leak stopped for about a month-it's back. Looking at getting a new car. This is the first time I've had a bad experience with hyundai. From everything I've read here-I've been exceptionally lucky. Hope this helps.
Hyundai has a service bulletin stating aftermarket oil filters cause approximately 250psi inside the engine. They even had one FACTORY FILTER that caused this. Normal oil psi is around 50-60

OMG! Thank u for this comment. I am currently going thru the same thing. My car has only 78,000 when the engine blew. I literally had no oil in my car and this was the 2nd time it happened and couldn't figure out why. I had no knowledge of the excessive oil consumption these cars have until doing some research. I know one thing, I still owe on this car as well so Hyundai better fix it!
@@Swinton30 I had my car towed to the hyundai dealership with a folder full of receipts from every service and oil change I had done to my car.

Thank you for the info! Just what I needed! FYI: it's PCV or PC Valve! NOT PCV Valve; the "V" stands for "valve!" 😁
The v stands for ventilation
****>>>>> Hey readers. Even some Honda. and Toyotas are oil burners. I know because I have looked at RUclips videos for a whole year on this oil burner issue. Audis and BMW too. It is usually GDI and stuck piston rings. Most time a good B-12 piston soak will free the rings. Others use tough engine flushes.. EPR109, AMSOIL, Liqui Moly etc. Some just put in Yamalube ring free shock treatment . Change your oil at 2.5 to 4 k. Run top tier gas...use Techron gas or other high PEA treatments...and try to rev up engine more to burn the carbon outmore. Use Valvoline restore & protect oil!! FIX it fast before you pay $$$$$$ for a cat converter!!!
What is this part called
My KIA started burning oil under 50K miles. Dealer just did a 2nd piston soak after 1st failed consumption test. If 2nd fails I am expecting a new engine.. These new GDI engines and ones with new piston rings are CRAP! You have to take special care with them. MORE frequent oil changes and use TOP TIER gas or add PEA treatments. Drive some place at higher RPMS to burn off carbon!! Take special care or you will pay BIG $$$$$ on new catalytic converters!!
There is a reason why Hyundais are reasonably priced cars compared to the big two - Toyota and Honda.
The problem is not the pcv valve, it's carbon build up on the intake valve, because the gas direct injection does no wash fuel over the intake valve to clean it. Replacing the pcv valve will not fix the problem.
blame the EPA
What's the fix?
@@Monzerelli - In theory, you would need to pull the heads, and have the valves and seats cleaned of carbon buildup. Depending on mileage, I would just have the heads rebuilt, including new valve seals. Should get another 100K miles before they carbon up again.
@@contractor08831 Thanks man, is it expensive to rebuild the heads?
@@Monzerelli - Haven't had any done in 30 years. Used to be able to drop them off at a machine shop, where they would redo them. I would suggest contacting a local mechanic, and get a quote. I'm sure it would be over $1500, but that's a conservative guess. Most mechanics, pull head, send it out to be rebuilt, and then reinstall them.
thank you
Mine is a 2017 and I go through plenty oil between oil changes. I always make sure it’s full synthetic and not the blend. I tried to see if my year and model was not part of the lawsuit but I don’t see anything about my specific Sonata. They said last oil changes there were no leaks or major issues they saw. Is this normal and what did you guys do? I’m tired of being burned by AZ mechanics seeing a woman and thinking CHA-CHING! They’ve really taken advantage of me on my Honda and I don’t want them to get over on me again!!!!
Good one
Wasn't this guy rickie bobbies nemesis?
The only way out is to put new rings in that exactly what I did and problem was solved
Which type of ring are you changed ?
@@sukhsingh2210 all the rings that sits around the pistons it's a big job
So you changed the piston rings and that solved it ? Did you do it yourself? If you had it done,what was the price to get it done? Thanks

2015 hyundai sonata sport. Burning 5 courts of oil a month, spark plugs are burning oil so much that it's cooking oil on the plugs so much its causing miss fire.

If you want to solve the problem just don't buy a gdi engine car (hyundair or kia) they are garbage car that's why they are so cheap. i suggest mazda, reasonable price and well engines.
The Mazda engine is also GDI, but Mazda has developed technology to keep the engine clean.
@@talkingbread2012 I read about that
It didn't burn anyone at 70.000 miles it started slow
No leaks anywhere burns a Qt a week.
I'm going to change PCV OIL AND FILTER
HOPE IT HELPS.
WHAT YOU THINK
I CANT SELL SOMEONE A BURNING OIL CAR.
SO I WILL GIVE IT A TRY.
NEVER DRIVE OR BIY A HYUNDAI AGAIN.
THE ARE THIFTS.....
This didn't have any effect on the excessive oil consumption of the Hyundai Santa Fe I was working on.
Did u fix the problem
No, still exists. We just did it before a 1000km trip, made no difference.
It's NOT the pcv valve, after 90k miles my 2016 started over consuming oil.
Same with my 16 Accent. Hit 90k and now it guzzles oil.
Did you fix the problem? I have to add oil in my 2015 tucson every week. Its insane
@JMR I changed the pcv valve and it's still consuming oil. I traded it for a 2022 frontier.
These cars truly burn oil very quick. Never again will I be interested in these type of cars.
Santa fe oil monster
2013 hyundai burns multiple quarts between oil changes
My 2016 doesn’t use any oil
Direct injection blows. Just get a Toyota.
My Mazda is direct injection burns no oil lol
Not the pcv. ! Piston rings !

Honda is still with the old ones is good the new one is Junk Borden oil but I drive it for a smooth nothing broke
Yea mine is 2017 so this doesn't apply to it :(
Too easy…
How about you have no leaks, no smoke, no black residue on the rear lower bumper nor the exhaust tips, yet 2015 Sonata Sport burning that oil in ridiculous amounts.
Tired of adding oil all the damn time.
Changed that valve he’s talking about too.
It must be the engine design issue.

Or... Its related to the engine failure recalls from Hyundai models 2011-2019
Did you get a new engine because of this?
@@papichorizo9330 I tried but because I'm not the first owner, I only get a new engine if mine literally fails and I don't want to take their word for it, so I'm selling it
@@guidedbygreen1480 that’s what the dealership just told me. He said best thing to do is drive it til the engine locks and I don’t know if I trust his word either. Want to try and sell it as well
@@Wesleyk1ng-t2u its an unfortunate situation to be in, I wish you well. I did infact end up selling mine and moved on. Now I refuse to buy a Hyundai/kia 🤷♂️ I look at them differently now, like how I see Dodge or Chrysler
glad I read these comments
My '21 Sonata 2.5 smartstream has 79k miles and doesn't use any oil between maintenance cycles. I've changed oil and filter every 5000 since new. These engines hold up if you maintain them.
Chances are you folks used crap oil, and didn't check your oil. and didn't realize you had fuel dilution which caused issues with the piston rings.
OK, so how often do you suggest that we change our oil? I had my oil changed every 5k miles by dealer.
This guy lies. Replacing pcv valve didn't help me to reduce Hyundai Sonata 2016 engine oil consumption. The problem is Hyundai factory shortcoming. Meanwhile, this guy increased the sales of pcv valve that otherwise no one knows about it
It can but usually NOT. I have a KIA oil burner that started at 50K or less. It just went through a 2nd piston soak at dealer and waiting to see if this one helped. If not, expecting a new engine.
2015 Hyundai sonata 2.4
I just took it in for the second oil consumption test for every 1000 miles.
No oil leaks what so ever
Two quarts low in a 1000 miles! Two more tests for that .. then..
They are starting a engine cleaner test 3 more times to see if that fixes the problem.
Wtf? I'm going to be at Hyundai more than I'd like..
Did they find the leak?
Bottom line buy a Toyota or Honda
My Santa Fe is burning tons of oil!!!!

Why you talk so fast?
Is he drowning while talking?
This dude always have water in his mouth
2018. Trash.
USA drivers are going to go broke taking care of these new oil burner cars with GDI, turbos, crap piston rings and catalytic converters...These issues are ALL over RUclips!!!!
