Engine oil? i recently bought a 2002 hyundai accent 1.5L MVi 16V. I am unsure which engine oil to use as it needs a top up. Could you please help? Thanks

have a look and see if this link helps you out.
Where is the map sensor located on hyundai accent 2002 16L DOHC 16V Google...

A 10w-30 is sufficient. Dont go crazy buying the most expensive oil on the market, also dont use synhetic.
look for an oil with an sh,sg or a sh/cd rating. these ratings are from the american petrolium institute so there all the same.

yes go to mechnic and tell to fix it

The valve stem oil seals sound like theyre worn and oil is getting past the vlaves and been burnt in the combustion chamber,once the valve stem oil seals are replaced it should cure your problem as with only 57k kms the piston rings shouldnt be worn yet.

Its 3 1/2 Quarts, but you might as well put a full 4 quarts in if it goes through that much. make sure you change the filter aswell! dirty oil will not cause your engine to go through it any faster. Is the oil leaking or is the engine burning it?

it should tell you on the cap of the oil what oil and start with 4 qrt and then let sit for a few minutes then chec dipstick usauly its 5 qrts

DID THE BELT BREAK AND THEN IT WAS CHANGED. If so then you may have bent valve. IF NOT then vehicle may be timed wrong. Here is a diagram of your timing marks, http://www.2carpros.com/car_repair_information/tec_info/2002/hyundai/accent/2002_hyundai_accent_timing_belt_diagram_marks.htm contact if you need more help. Thanks for using FIX YA

Hi ..... With this milage I'd expect at the same time the following would have been done, valve seals changed, valve guides checked/replaced, bores honed and valves reground into the cylinder head. Not to have done any of these is false economy and bad engineering practice.
The symptoms you state, esp'ly on topping up, point towards valve seals or guides.
Take the plugs out and examine, they should all be a light tan. Carryout a compression test across the bores and come back with the results.

on the petrol engine it is directly below the alternator
