The 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe uses either 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil, with a capacity of 4.86 quarts for the 2.4 L engine. Various engine issues can arise, such as a spark plug popping off or a loose gasket that should be promptly tightened. It's important to address oil leaks promptly and watch out for engine overheating, which can lead to serious consequences like fires and explosions. Excessive oil usage may necessitate more frequent oil changes. The coolant should be replaced every 60,000 miles, while the air filter and spark plugs should be changed at intervals of 15,000 to 30,000 miles and 100,000 miles respectively, unless using copper spark plugs, which should be replaced every 30,000 miles.
