Hyundai Azera oil control valve issue after dealer maintenance on Hyundai Azera

Some Hyundai Azera owners report experiencing issues with the oil control valve after dealer maintenance, which can lead to serious complications if not addressed promptly. These owners have noted that low oil pressure can result in severe engine problems, including engine seizure, particularly when the oil pressure light is illuminated. Additionally, some have experienced rough idling, poor acceleration, and trouble codes related to camshaft timing or misfires, prompting the need to inspect the Oil Control Valve (OCV) for proper operation. Proper installation of the OCV is critical; neglecting to lubricate the valve O-ring with engine oil or misaligning the valve and harness connectors can lead to abnormal engine operation. Furthermore, valve cover leaks are commonly reported, especially in the 3.8L V6 engine, often due to aging gaskets. Owners are advised to address these oil control valve issues promptly to ensure the optimal performance of their Hyundai Azera.
