Assuming you have an automatic transmission, be aware that Hyundais use ONLY SP III AT fluid. Don't let a tranny shop convince you that some kind of "universal" fluid will work; they can have detergents that can damage the innards of the tranny and torque converter on Hyundais.

Well, our Sante Fe is home and in the garage. We're thrilled with our decision to trade our Pilot in on our Sante Fe. Not once did I question at signing thatwe were in the right place.The vehicle appears to offer all thethings we were looking for.[sm=smiley16.gif]

Hey Shawk. I bought an 08 Santa Fe as well just a month ago. And like you I chose it over the Honda Pilot. The insane prices are due to the phase out of the 07 Pilots to make room for the totally redesigned 08 models. What really did it for me was how quiet and smooth the Santa Fe was as compared to the Pilot. Engine noise was non-existant. Also got the DVD option, a blessing with the grandson and his friends in the backseats. So far, all is well as I approach the inititial 3K oil change. Hey, if it's the consumer reports midsize SUV of the year it should be okay. Good luck with yours and I'll keep in touch if anything abnormal arises. I actually upgraded from my Ford Escape.....too small now.
