How do you change the oil on a 2004 Santa Fe?

Answer 1

Drain plug is easily accesible from the backside of the oil sump; I believe it's a 15mm nut. Please dont use an adjustable wrench. Filter is mounted "upside-down" towards the front of the oil sump, and up into the engine compartment. You can only access the filter from underneath the vehicle. If you remove the filter very slowly you can keep the spillage to run directly around the filter case and into your bucket. Always apply some oil to the gasket on the new filter and tighten it BY HAND. Filling takes 4.2 quarts w/ filter change.
