To keep your 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe running smoothly, it's best to use SAE 5W-20 Synthetic oil in any weather condition. For the 2.7 L V6 engine, you'll need 4.8 quarts of oil with a filter, and for the 3.3 L V6 engine, you'll require 5.5 quarts with a filter. The "5W-20" means the oil is thin when you start the car (5 for startup) and thickens (20) when the engine warms up. Remember to change the oil and filter every 7,500 miles because they wear out over time. It's a simple process that can be done in just 5 to 20 minutes.
Hyundai recommends using 5W-20 detergent oil for the 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. The oil capacity for the 2.7L engine is 4.75 US quarts (4.5 liters), while the 3.3L engine requires 5.49 US quarts (5.2 liters) of oil.
What type of engine oil is suggested for a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe and how many liters are required for an oil change?
