The check engine light is a vital warning indicator in Hyundai vehicles equipped with the Theta II engine, designed to alert drivers of potential issues within the engine or emission control system. If the check engine light comes on in your Hyundai Theta II engine, it is crucial not to ignore it, as it can be a sign of various underlying problems that require attention from skilled technicians.
Hyundai Theta II engines have been associated with certain issues, including engine knocking, oil consumption, and potential failures. As such, if your vehicle’s check engine light is illuminated, it is essential to have it inspected and diagnosed by qualified technicians who are familiar with the intricacies of the Theta II engine.

Excessive oil consumption can be a symptom of engine problems, and it can lead to various issues, including reduced engine performance and potential engine damage if left unaddressed. To address such concerns, Hyundai implemented oil consumption tests as part of their diagnostic process to identify and address potential engine issues. This test is something that World Hyundai Matteson can perform for you.
During an oil consumption test, the vehicle is evaluated under controlled conditions to monitor how much oil it consumes over a specified period. Typically, the test involves monitoring the oil level and usage over a certain mileage range or timeframe. The dealership conducts the test to collect data on oil consumption rates.
Customer Satisfaction
If the results of the oil consumption test indicate that the engine is consuming oil at a higher rate than Hyundai’s specified tolerances, it may indicate an underlying issue with the engine. In such cases, Hyundai may provide appropriate solutions based on warranty coverage or recall programs to address the problem, which could include engine repairs or replacements.
It is essential for Hyundai owners experiencing oil consumption concerns to contact World Hyundai to schedule this test. Our experts can perform the necessary diagnostics and tests to determine the cause of excessive oil consumption and provide the appropriate solutions, especially if the vehicle is still under warranty or subject to a recall.

Steer Clear of Engine Damage
Professional technicians will conduct a thorough diagnostic check to identify the root cause of the knocking and any potential underlying engine issues.
