4. Remove the dipstick again. The Santa Fe oil level should be between the notches that correspond to the minimum and maximum levels on the "75 ° C" scale on the dipstick.

Note:

If the level check is forced to be carried out in a cold gearbox, use the "25 ° C" scale on the dipstick. The range between the marks in the form of notches, corresponding to the minimum and maximum on the "25 °C" scale, is advisory in nature and should not be used to accurately determine the level of the automatic transmission fluid. As soon as possible, repeat the check in accordance with the recommendations in paragraph 1 of this article.
