I bought the Chilton's manual that says you can replace the transmission filter on an 2002 Santa Fe. You cannot, the filter is located in the transmission and per my dealer does not need to be replaced. Good news, there is a transmission drain plug it's a bolt roughly 2-3 inches in size (you can't miss it) so you can drain that old fluid.
Do not remove the transmission pan if you don't have to. It doesn't need to be removed to drain the fluid and is a pain to clean and reinstall.
However, it is recommended to use Hyundai fluid. It costs $2 more per quart but more affordable than a new transmission. 2/
where is the transmission filter on a 2005 Hyundai Santa-fe
The 2004 Santa Fe transmission doesn't have a serviceable filter. There's one deep inside the transmission, but the transmission needs to be removed and disassembled to get to it. The only time that filter would be replaced is if the transmission were overhauled. This is the answer I found online, and after trying to change the filter on a 2002 Santa Fe, I believe it completely.
The Transmission oil filter is on top of the transmission. You can see it when looking into the engine compartment. It is to the left of the Air cleaner air box. It will look just like a oil filter.
The oil filter is located on a Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5L V6 underneath the front of the engine. There is a protective cover that must be removed to expose the oil filter.
inside the transmission pan... Of which...there IS NO pan!! You have to take the trans apart to service it.
Yes, more of a filter screen that you should never have to bother with unless your tranny is shredding.
The fuel filter is located in the fuel pump which is in the fuel tank. It is tha same for as the 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe.
The oil pressure light switch is located in the engine compartment on a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe. It is to the right of the oil filter.
It's in the fuel tank.
