2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Maintenance Schedule

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Here’s Why 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Hyundai Santa Fe to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Santa Fe. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Santa Fe, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe!

Hyundai knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Santa Fe running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Hyundai Santa Fe Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Santa Fe's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Hyundai Santa Fe battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Hyundai Santa Fe could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe's engine run smoother. To learn how often Hyundai recommends you have the oil changed in your 2010 Santa Fe, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Hyundai Santa Fe can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Hyundai Santa Fe suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Hyundai Santa Fe's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Hyundai Santa Fe maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Hyundai Santa Fe cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Hyundai Santa Fe? We’ve got your back. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.

Questions About 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Maintenance

Take an active role in maintaining your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe. Get answers to common Hyundai Santa Fe maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Hyundai Santa Fe? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Hyundai Santa Fe to high mileage oil? If your Hyundai Santa Fe has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can Hyundai dashboard warning lights wait? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Hyundai Santa Fe in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
