The complete Hyundai Tucson maintenance schedule for 2016–2024—covering the TL generation (about 2016–2021), the NX4 gas 2.5L (2022+), and the NX4 Hybrid / Plug-in Hybrid 1.6T with factory-style intervals and OEM part numbers. Bookmark it—or let Carmainty remind you before the oil-life light becomes a surprise.
Quick reference
Many Tucsons use an Oil Life Management System. If it never prompts within a year, change oil annually anyway—and check the level monthly. Everything else stacks onto those visits. Short trips, dust, and heat count as severe use; see that section if it describes your driving.

Generation-specific — don’t mix up your parts
The same badge hides three different parts families: TL gas (about 2016–2021), NX4 gas 2.5L (2022+), and NX4 Hybrid / Plug-in Hybrid with the 1.6T. Filters and cabin/air elements are not interchangeable across them.

Detailed schedule
Expand each item for OEM numbers, capacities, and owner notes. Always confirm fitment for your year, engine, and drivetrain.
Per Oil Life Management System · at least yearly
Recent Tucsons commonly specify 0W-20. Severe service (short trips, dusty roads, extreme heat) needs more frequent changes than the optimistic chart. Always reset the oil-life system after service.
Hyundai notes some oil consumption between changes is normal, especially on turbocharged engines—check the dipstick at fuel stops rather than waiting for the warning light.
26300-35505Common Hyundai number on pre-NX4 and many 2.5L gas Tucsons—confirm year/engine.
26350-2M000Cartridge-style on many 1.6T Hybrid / PHEV NX4 builds—not interchangeable with spin-on gas filters. Some 2.5L NX4 catalogs list 26350-2S000 / 26300-35505—VIN check required.
Every oil service
Rotate to even wear. AWD Tucsons need matched tread depths across axles to protect the driveline. Check tire pressure monthly—TPMS warnings spike with temperature swings.
Inspect pads and rotors every six months. Hybrid and PHEV models can show very long pad life from regen braking, which also means rotor rust is more common—inspect rather than assume.
Every 15,000–20,000 miles (24,000–32,000 km)
Replace yearly in high-pollen regions even if miles are low. A clogged filter kills HVAC performance, fogs windows, and strains the blower motor.
97133-D3000Common OEM cabin filter for many 3rd-gen Tucsons—confirm year.
97133-N9100Common NX4 cabin filter (some catalogs list 97133-N9000)—confirm on hyundai.oempartsonline.com.
Every 30,000 miles (48,000 km)
Inspect earlier on gravel or construction routes. Restricted airflow costs throttle response and fuel economy—especially noticeable on turbocharged engines.
28113-D3300Common 3rd-gen engine air element—confirm year.
28113-N9100Common NX4 element (some catalogs list 28113-P0400)—VIN check required.
Per engine chart
Iridium plugs and long-life coolant still have calendars. Many charts put plugs somewhere between about 60,000 and 105,000 miles (96,000–169,000 km) depending on engine—check your VIN-specific schedule and inspect sooner on misfires or poor economy.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture—flush on the severe schedule if you see a spongy pedal. Use Hyundai long-life coolant and never mix chemistries.
Severe service / high mileage
Severe use (frequent short trips, towing, dust, heat) shortens fluid life across the drivetrain. Inspect transmission and AWD fluids per your VIN-specific schedule and service earlier when you see discoloration or notice shifting changes.
Dual-clutch and conventional automatic setups differ across generations. Confirm which transmission you have before assuming any “lifetime” fluid claim applies.
Hybrid / Plug-in
Add inverter coolant and hybrid-system inspection items from the HEV/PHEV schedule. Brake pads often last longer with regen; still check rotor condition.
If you drive short trips, dust, or extreme heat
Hyundai’s normal chart assumes mixed driving at normal operating temperature. Frequent short trips, extended idling, dusty or unpaved roads, heavy stop-and-go traffic, and towing all count as severe use—and oil, filters, and fluids need earlier attention.
NX4 Hybrid & Plug-in Hybrid — 1.6T
The NX4 Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid pair the 1.6L turbo with an electric drive system. Core oil service uses cartridge filter 26350-2M000 and 0W-20—not the spin-on gas filter—and the hybrid system adds inverter coolant and inspection items.
The gas engine cycles on and off, so oil hours are often fewer than miles suggest—but short trips still leave moisture in the crankcase. Don’t stretch oil intervals just because it’s a hybrid.

The real math
Stretched oil intervals → engine wear
Vs. oil-life prompts + yearly minimum
$3,000–$6,000+
Ignored hybrid coolant → inverter issues
Vs. scheduled HEV coolant service
$2,000–$5,000+
Wrong oil filter (gas vs Hybrid) → leak or oil starvation
Vs. confirming by VIN first
Engine damage risk
Clogged cabin/engine filters → AC strain & poor MPG
Vs. $20–$40 filters
Hundreds wasted
No documented history at sale
Vs. a logged timeline in Carmainty

When the Oil Life Management System prompts—or at least once a year. Severe short-trip driving favors 5,000–7,500 mile (8,000–12,000 km) changes. Check the oil level monthly or at fuel stops.
Usually 0W-20 meeting Hyundai’s specification on the filler cap. Confirm capacity for your engine and Hybrid vs gas. Oil filters differ by generation and powertrain—look up on hyundai.oempartsonline.com.
TL (about 2016–2021) and many 2.5L gas models: 26300-35505. NX4 Hybrid / Plug-in: 26350-2M000, with alternates 26350-2S000 / 26300-35505 in some catalogs. Always confirm by VIN—Hybrid and gas filters are not interchangeable.
TL: cabin 97133-D3000, engine air 28113-D3300. NX4 (2022+): cabin 97133-N9100 (some list 97133-N9000), engine air 28113-N9100 (some list 28113-P0400). Verify year and generation on hyundai.oempartsonline.com before ordering.
TL is the generation sold from about 2016 through 2021; NX4 is the redesigned Tucson starting in 2022 and includes gas, Hybrid, and Plug-in Hybrid versions. Filters, capacities, and some fluids differ between them—always match parts to your VIN, not just the name.
Yes—inverter coolant and hybrid-system inspections on top of normal oil, filters, and tires. Brake pads often last longer due to regen. Hybrid oil filters (often 26350-2M000) are not the same as many gas Tucson filters.
Cabin filter about every 15,000–20,000 miles (24,000–32,000 km) or yearly in high-pollen areas; engine air filter about every 30,000 miles (48,000 km), sooner on dusty roads. Inspect earlier if airflow drops or fuel economy suffers.
