Published repairs below cite a manual or a manufacturer chart. Coming soon pages are names only. Capacities and torque on this year stay on this year.
This year uses the 2021 U.S. owner's manual. The PDF file was created August 20, 2020. The G1.6 T-GDi and the G2.5 GDi do not share a fill.
Oil, coolant, transmission fluid, spark plugs, tires, wheel nuts, brakes, the drive belt, and the bulb chart are filed from that book.
2021 is the U.S. owner's manual whose engine table lists the Smartstream G1.6 T-GDi and the Smartstream G2.5 GDi. Other Sonata years are not filed here.
Copied from the published guides for this year. Each figure stays with that guide and that guide's source. Open the guide before you use it.
