They’ll pay for it every 8k with the complimentary maintenance if you bought it new. Good for 4 oil changes. (Runs out at 3 years/36k, so 8, 16, 24, 32)
If you want to run the severe schedule (which most people should) do it on your dime at 4k, 12k etc, halfway in between the free ones. The free ones have to be at Hyundai to be paid for; the rest are up to you. Just keep receipts to prove the history if you ever need the warranty.
5k severe intervals.
I have my changed at the dealer every 5k miles.
Personally, I do mine every 5K, along with a tire rotation. When I had my new Tacoma, they did free ones at 10K and a top-off of fluids and rotate every 5. I just did it myself at 5.
I do every 6k or slightly sooner.
I put three quarts in every 1000 miles. Why bother getting it changed? It’s always fresh. Lol.

I hope you change the filter as well.
Also, burning/leaking 3 quarts every 1k is insane lol.

Engine just went kaput. They want nothing to do with it. They suck.
@Williamson
My GDI burns all its oil in less than 1k miles. Hyundai refuses to even do the oil consumption test🤯.
Well, I got my 2020 Elantra’s oil changed RELIGIOUSLY at 3,000 miles. My engine just blew at 56k miles. I’m waiting on the ‘official diagnosis’ before they will start the repair. I’m so frustrated. My last oil change was also done at a Hyundai dealership.
Don’t listen to the manual. I know someone who only changed their oil when the car said to do so, and when the engine blew (as Hyundai/Kia engines do) they said he didn’t maintain it; not enough pills changes sludge in engine. Also, some of the Hyundai engines burn oil, so make sure you don’t run it low either. Check your dipstick weekly.
I do 3,000 miles with conventional and 5,000 with synthetic just to be safe.
Filters are the same. Every 3.5-4 for me.
The manager of our local repair and tire shop has always been a straight shooter with me. He reminded me of all the problems Hyundai has had with their engines and instead of going the 7K oil change interval suggested, he advised not going more than 5K on a change. I don’t mind because of the coupons I get an oil change and rotation for $55. I would ask your local garage for their recommendation.
I’ve been doing 7500 miles for years and I haven’t had any issues.
If you want the maximum life from the car, take what your manual says, and reduce it by up to half 
. Manufacturers are more concerned with getting through the warranty and typical ownership duration, as well as pointing for lower carbon footprints.
Everyone should learn to change their own oil. Change it at 5k.
Oil changes aren’t hard and one of the easiest ways to maintain your car.
I went to school for Automotive Technology, and they taught us 3k for conventional and 5k for full synthetic.
Why did you buy a new 2023 when 2025 are out?
