Note:

The oil change is shown on the second generation Hyundai Santa Fe (2006-2012) equipped with a Theta II - inline, four-cylinder. On engines of other models, this work is performed in the same way. The only difference is in the locations of the oil filler neck and the oil level indicator (dipstick) in the engine compartment.

On a Hyundai Santa Fe car, an oil change is performed on a pit or overpass, but in this article we will show you an oil change without a pit, but with a jack.

Drain the oil after driving while the engine is still hot. If the engine is cold, start up and warm it up to operating temperature.

The oil must be filled with the same grade as the oil that was in the engine. If you decide to change the brand of oil, flush the engine lubrication system with flushing oil or oil of the brand you want to fill. To do this, after draining the old oil, fill in the new one up to the lower mark of the low-gauge dipstick. Start the engine and let it idle for ten minutes. Drain the oil and only then replace the oil filter and refill with new oil.
