The 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe requires 5W-20 oil and 4.9 quarts for the 2.4 L engine. It is important to change the oil periodically, with a recommended interval of every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to change the oil can lead to engine issues, as high-quality oil is crucial for proper engine function. Watch out for signs such as a strong burning smell, as this could indicate a serious problem that needs immediate attention to prevent potential engine damage or even a car fire. Over time, old or low-quality oil can cause the engine to malfunction, leading to symptoms like engine knocking noise and decreased fuel efficiency.
