Hello Elantra Forum,
Just got a hand-down 2013 Elantra 80k miles from brother.
Seems the mpg is lower than expected.
When I first got the car, I was getting on average ~22mpgs on display.
Changed the spark plugs to some nicer NGK Iridiums @ ~$10 a pop, car runs smoother, but I only seen about a +1mpg increase @ ~23mpgs now.
I don't believe my brother ever did anything to the car as far tune-ups go.
Anything I could do to make this car run better?
Fuel Filter? (hard to find it without the whole pump)
Wires? I did not see the traditional spark plug wires that I had on my Toyotas
Ignition Coils?
Water Pump?
Fuel Pump?
O2 Sensors? I've heard someone say that the smallest errors in the o2 sensors will illicit a CEL, so do these not need to be replaced?
PCV valve?
I have no CEL lights on, but should any of these items be replaced @ 80k miles or am I better leaving these be.
I've looked through the manual and did not recall it saying to Replace much of anything besides engine oil/filter and air filters.
Also, should I drain/fill the ATF? Will Maxlife work??
Thanks for any info fellas, I have limited mechanical experience and am new to the Hyundai World, any input appreciated,
Cheers!
