How do you change oil filter for 2009 Hyundai santa fe limited?

Answer 1

Assuming this is the 3.3 V6 engine, open the hood and remove the plastic engine cover to expose the black cartridge type oil filter housing. Turn the black filter housing cover counter clockwise to remove and expose the oil filter cartridge. If cover won't loosen by hand use a "strap wrench" or a "band filter wrench" but be gentle. The engine oil drain plug should be removed for this entire process. Remove the old oil filter and install the new one. Be sure to change the two o-rings on the cover with the new o-rings supplied with the new filter. Coat the new o-rings with clean oil to aid in the installation. Gently spin the cover back on by hand and hand tighten only. Inspect or replace drain plug gasket and install drain plug back into oil pan. Install the correct amount (6 qts) and type (5W-20) of oil back into engine. Start and run engine for a few minutes. Shut engine off and check for leaks. Check oil level with dipstick. If all is ok install engine cover. Done.
