Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps carefully
1
Prepare the Vehicle (big drain pan!)
The 2019–2024 Genesis G70 3.3T (twin-turbo V6, 365 hp) takes SAE 5W-30 (ACEA A5/B5; API SN/ILSAC GF-4 or above). Capacity: 7.3 quarts (6.9L) with filter. You'll need: 5W-30 (two 5-qt jugs), cartridge filter 26320-3LTA0 (comes with a new o-ring for the cap), new crush washer. Critical practical note: the 3.3T takes 7+ quarts — ensure your drain pan can hold it. One owner overflowed a 6-qt pan. Use a 8+ qt pan. The 3.3T is a performance engine — clean, correct oil matters. Park on level ground.
2
Lift and Secure the Vehicle
Raise the G70 and support with jack stands. Ensure it's level. Chock the wheels. The G70's undertray needs removal. The 3.3T's cartridge filter is in a plastic housing — locate it. The G70 is low — careful jack placement. Ensure your drain pan is 8+ quarts (the 7.3 qt will overflow a small pan).
3
Drain the Old Oil
Position your LARGE drain pan (8+ qt). Remove the drain plug (new crush washer on reinstall). Let the 7.3 quarts drain fully — this is a lot of oil, and it takes time. The 3.3T's twin turbos mean the oil works hard — expect it to be dark. Let it drain 15 minutes. Don't rush — the large capacity needs time to empty completely.
4
Replace the Cartridge Filter
The G70 3.3T uses a CARTRIDGE filter (26320-3LTA0) in a plastic housing — not a spin-on. The new filter comes with a new o-ring for the cap — replace it (don't reuse the old o-ring).
5
Reinstall the Drain Plug
Torque to spec (not verified for the 3.3T — check the service manual; do not guess). Wipe clean. Verify the plug and filter housing are secure — the 3.3T's oil system feeds the turbos, so leaks are serious.
🔧 Mechanic's note — Ray Delgado
I look up the spec rather than guessing — on this 3.3T the oil feeds the turbos, and I've seen what a weeping drain plug does to a hot turbo housing. Not worth the gamble.
6
Add New Oil and Verify
Lower to level ground. Add 7.3 quarts of 5W-30 ACEA A5/B5. You'll need two jugs. Pour carefully and track the amount. Check the dipstick — at the upper mark. Start the engine, let the turbos get oil pressure (run 60 seconds), shut off, wait 2-3 minutes, recheck. Top up if needed. Check for leaks (especially the cartridge housing o-ring). The G70's 3.3T is a 365-hp performance engine — proper oil level is critical for turbo longevity. The 7.3 qt capacity is large — don't underfill. Reset the service reminder.
🔧 Mechanic's note — Tom Becker
I pour the first jug, check the dipstick, then add the second slowly — with 7.3 quarts to fill, I've overshot the upper mark before, and draining fresh oil back out is nobody's idea of fun.
All Done!
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
