My 2010 Accent GS (3 door) currently has approximately 1700 miles and I figure I'll be doing my first oil change shortly so a couple questions came to me.

1) What oil filter do you guys use? Cheapest thing you can find, OEM, Fram, etc?
2) I'm toying with the idea of switching to synthetic oil. Do you guys use dino or synthetic? Also, how many miles should I go to "break in" the engine before making the switch if I do?

As I had mentioned above, I have a 2010 Accent GS. So here's a few other questions.

3) Where can I buy a shop manual for this vehicle? Or, where can I gain access to an electronic version of it?
4) Does the GS come with the quick shift kit for the stick (manual transmission)? And if it doesn't, how much shorter of a throw will the short shift kit affect it?
5) Does any manufacturer make a rubber liner for the trunk to help keep dirt and/or mud from wrecking the carpeting?

I appreciate your help.

I cannot answer your questions as I am in the same boat as you are (although I did have my oil changed at 3 months, but had it done at the dealership). I did come across these liners for you:

Good luck getting the answers you are looking for! Enjoy your car!

1-2. I use oem or purolator. I switched to full synthetic at first oil change, around 3700 miles.
3. Hmaservice.com make a free account
4. You can get the SE's B&M short throw shifter to install in your gs. I hear it improves feel substantially but I haven't driven a gs so couldn't tell you.
5. Hyundai does make rubber mats. Lots of accessories can be found here for cheap. Hyundaiparts4u.com

since most of the questiosn were already answer, i would suggest using the search function, there are couple threads with this information.
and about the oil change, i just take it to the dealer, 19.95 which is about the same price if i buy it and do it myself and of course i trust my dealer

Half of these questions can be answered by reading your owners manual...

I went to hmaservice.com and was in the process of signing up, but got stumped. Which model do I have as there's 3 listed: Accent (LC), Accent (MC), and Accent (X3)?

bloodninja - I appreciate your feedback but just because your owner's manual tells you to do something doesn't mean it's the best or absolute thing that you must do. For instance, your owner's manual will always tell you to use OEM products for any service related task. Heck, it'll tell you that you should have your dealership perform all your services. And unless you've got a ton of $$$ to spend, alot of people do their own servicing as it typically is alot cheaper.

One new question, what oil brand does everyone use?

Thanks for your replies.

Thanks. I'm all signed up. One last hmaservice.com question... is there a way to change your password to that site?

I would switch to synthetic after the second or third oil change. Engine break-in requires dyno oil.

I dont think you can change the password for the hma website. At least i have tried it and no luck.

What if you just click on "forgot password"??? They should send you a new one.

It's not that, I just prefer to use a password that I can remember instead of some hokey one that their system generated. That's all.

[LePapirrikY]

They just send you the same password, so it really doesnt matter if you forget, they will send you an email with it. At least thats what i do when this happens and of course with the time you just memorize it.

man switch to synthetic oil its the only way to go in my eyes i use a k&n oil filter and the new penzoil fully synthetic oil but i am leaning toward switch to royal purple they make a filter as well and the filter dont pass 15 bucks so they are easy on the pockets cant say the same for the oil though :57:

 

[omg grip]

I definately changed my password on hmaservice. I am on there now trying to figure out how I did it, I think this is how....

Go to My Page -> My Info
you will be promped to enter your PW again.

Once on that page, I think you enter your new desired password in the blank "Password" and "Confirm Pass." boxes, then click the edit button in the upper right corner.
