What is Oil capacity of 2007 Santa Fe 3.3L?

Answer 1

The maintenance log booklet I got with my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe said that with a oil and filter change it takes 5.49 quarts of oil. The following table is from the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Workshop Manual, Page GI-14

LUBRICANTS CAPACITIES

Description Gasoline(2.7) Gasoline(3.3)

Oil pan 4.2(4.44,3.70) 5.5(5.81,4.84)

Oil filter 0.3(0.32,0.26) 0.4(0.42,0.35)

Engine Oil Total 4.5(4.75,3.96) 6.4(6.76,5.63)

Not only are the values higher but the sum of the "oil pan" plus "oil filter" do not add up to "engine oil total". Perhaps the"engine oil total" includes oil that remains in the engine after drain out.

I just performed my own oil and filter change at 15000 miles and it took 5.5 quarts to refill to the full mark on the dip stick. I had the dealer do my prior oil and filter change and they over filled (at least a half a quart) and over tightened the oil filter cap. It should be torqued to 18 ft-lbs but it took over 40 ft-lbs to break it loose. Fortunately I had purchased a specific cap wrench for this filter. Oil ring changes were OK, but overall a canister filter is less work.
