In 2014, the Hyundai Santa Fe uses 5W-30 oil and requires 6 quarts. It's crucial to use high-quality oil to keep the engine running smoothly. If the oil is bad, it could lead to engine failure. Be on the lookout for a strong burning odor as it may signal a problem that needs immediate attention to prevent serious issues like engine damage or even an explosion. Listen for knocking noises from the engine and be aware of reduced gas mileage. It's important to replace the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to maintain engine health and avoid problems. Failure to do so could result in engine complications.
The information on the oil cap specifies using 5w20 oil.
Hyundai advises using either 5W-30 or 5W-40 motor oil for the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe, regardless of the temperature. If you can't find SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40, SAE 10W-30 is acceptable as a temporary substitute. But remember to switch back to SAE 5W-30 or 5W-40 during the next oil change. The vehicle holds a total of 6 quarts (5.7 liters) of motor oil.
The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport does not come equipped with a 5.7-liter engine.
Jason is accurate. The engine requires 4.6 liters of oil when using the yellow oil dipstick, or 5 liters of oil when using the red dipstick.
I own a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and the engine recently displayed a P0014 error code. This has happened before, and I tried fixing it by changing the oil, but the code appeared again. Do you think I should replace both of the timing solenoids?
Jason mentioned that it requires 5.7 liters of motor oil.
