The 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe came with a 3.3 L V6 engine as standard, which holds 6 US quarts of oil including the filter. You can choose between using 5W-30 or 5W-40 synthetic motor oil. For colder climates, 10W-30 motor oil is recommended to prevent freezing. The oil drain plug requires a torque of 30 ft-lbs and has a head size of 17mm, which you can use a 17mm socket for if you don't have a torque wrench.

    here's a rephrased version for you: The ideal oil choice for the 3.5L V6 engine in a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe is synthetic SAE 5W-30 oil. When combined with a new oil filter, this SUV can accommodate a maximum of 5.8 quarts of oil.

    5w30 performs more effectively in cold temperatures compared to 10w30. Look up oil charts on Google for more information.

    Hey there! The oil cap indicates that the recommended oil type is 5W-20.
