The 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe requires 4.8 quarts of oil for the 2.7L V6 engine or 4.5 quarts for the 3.5L V6 engine. Both engines should be filled with SAE 5W-20 oil, and Hyundai suggests using fully synthetic oil during oil changes. Synthetic and conventional oils are the two main types available. Synthetic oil, produced in a laboratory, offers superior engine protection compared to conventional oil, which is derived from petroleum. Synthetic oil has a longer lifespan, needing replacement only every 7,500 miles, whereas conventional oil requires changing every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It is essential to check the oil level at least once a month to ensure it is at the proper level and free from debris or damage.
