## Essential Fluids and Filters

Regular fluid and filter changes keep your engine and transmission running smoothly. **Oil and oil filters** are the most frequent change-typically every 5,000-7,500 miles for conventional or longer for synthetic, depending on your Genesis model. **Air filters** usually need replacement every 15,000-30,000 miles, and **cabin air filters** every 15,000-30,000 miles.

Other important fluids include **coolant**, **transmission fluid**, **brake fluid**, and **windshield washer fluid**. Each has its own service interval.
