Oil change on new Venue

[GlassDome1334]

I recently got the 2024 Hyundai Venue SEL, I think about 2 months ago. It's got around 2,100 miles now and I'm just curious about the first oil change. Did you change it right after buying or do I follow what the manual says?

Nice, congratulations on the new Venue and welcome to the club! Personally, I did my first oil change a little earlier than the manual. I did it right around 3,000 miles, just to get any of the initial break-in stuff out of there. It's a bit of an old-school thought, but it makes me feel better. The manual says to go with the 8,000-mile or 12-month interval, which is pretty standard for modern cars with synthetic blend oil.

You're well within the safe zone, so no need to panic. The engine is designed for those longer intervals. If you want to be extra cautious, you could do it now or wait until 3,000 miles. Otherwise, just stick with what the book says and there shouldn't be any problem!

Did you stick to the manual's recommended oil change interval, or did you do an early change after buying your Venue?

Just got my Venue and I got a quick q, how hard was the oil change to do yourself? Did you need any special tools or ramps? And did you notice any difference after doing it early, like smoother performance or better mileage? Trying to decide if I should stick to the manual or play it safe like you did.
