oil capacity 2002 santa fe 2.7L - 3/23/2008 2:39:01 PM    big mamoo   Posts: 14 Joined: 3/19/2008 Status: offline Could someone please tell me how many quarts with filter for an oil change ? My parts store guy told me 4.5 quarts with filter. After following his advice , the oil level on the dipstick was below the first dot - well below the F mark. I didn't get an owners manual when I bought it,so i'm in the dark about capacities , specs,etc... This is my first forum so please bear with me. THANKS ALL! Post #: 1

Drain and Refill Oil quantity : 4.5 lit (4.74 U.S.qts., 3.95 lmp.qts.) This from the Hyundai service site at http://www.hmaservice.com/.  You can probably add a full 5 quarts.  I doubt the extra 8 ounces would cause any problems for the engine. < Message edited by ken99 -- 3/23/2008 4:30:15 PM > (in reply to big mamoo) Post #: 2

Are there any colors made other than green? Looks to me like a 'peace of mind' system flush is the right thing to do . Any DIY tips ? Thanks (in reply to big mamoo) Post #: 5

RE: oil capacity 2002 santa fe 2.7L - 3/26/2008 8:28:32 AM    NovaResource Posts: 637 Joined: 5/29/2005 Status: offline Sorry, I'm confusing this thread with another one.  In that thread the oil amount was 6.23 qts in the 3.3L and 3.8L Lambda engine. You are correct, 4.76 qts is correct for the 2.7L Delta. I see in a different thread you have brown coolant.  I'm wondering if you have an internal engine problem allowing some of the oil into the coolant.  That would explain both the brown coolant and the low oil level.  Not good news.  Sorry. < Message edited by NovaResource -- 3/26/2008 8:31:02 AM > _____________________________ Octane Truth: Regular or Premium?
