Cleaning the crankcase ventilation system Hyundai Santa Fe

Tools:

• Socket head 10 mm
• Pliers

Note:

Over time, resinous deposits from the crankcase gases accumulate in the crankcase ventilation system, making it difficult to exhaust these gases into the engine cylinders for combustion. Because of this, the pressure of the gases inside the engine rises and oil begins to leak through the seals. To avoid this, periodically clean and flush the system.
