Should I check my Hyundai Santa Fe motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Santa Fe’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change Hyundai Santa Fe oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Hyundai Santa Fe spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Do I need to change my Santa Fe's oil filter when I get an oil change?

Hyundai recommends changing your 2011 Santa Fe’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Santa Fe may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Hyundai Santa Fe. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
