The recommended oil type and capacity for a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe are 5W20 and 4.5 quarts. Using high-quality oil is crucial for proper engine performance. Issues with the oil can lead to a foul burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential engine damage. Poor-quality oil can result in engine failure, manifested by knocking noises and decreased fuel efficiency. It is important to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to avoid engine problems. Failure to do so can have serious consequences for the car's engine.
