Your owner's manual specifies the oil change interval for your Genesis-typically every 10,000 miles for newer models, though some vehicles run longer. Your dashboard may also display a service reminder when it's time.

Skipping oil changes puts your engine at risk. Oil lubricates moving parts, cools the engine, and protects against sludge buildup. Over time, oil degrades and loses effectiveness, which can lead to engine wear and costly repairs.

Genesis of Downers Grove makes oil changes quick and painless. Our team uses the right grade and quantity of oil for your model and recycles the old oil responsibly.
