I have a '12 Santa Fe with the 3.5, and your video was very informative. Excellent oil and filter choices, and good call going with the 5w30 rather than the 5w20.
Great video well done and informative was there a wind guard under the engine? I was sweating worried about your block ramps. For your safety remember the wood can break so I suggest real ramps.
Yea i have an 07 2.7 L V6 Santa Fe and it has the underneath cannister style filter and the drain plug is on the back of the pan instead of the front. Solid video though.
Hi Matt, Great Video. By mistake, I removed the screw on the top right corner of the screen when it goes at 1':20'', and drained the fluid. Do you know what's the fluid and how I can refill it? Thanks a lot!
@Liebe-Futurel If you read your owner's manual 5w-30 is recommended. It's a little thicker, but the main reason I use it is because it's more readily available, easier to find on sale.
Thank you for the detailed video. The Pennzoil you showed was only 5 liters but you mentioned that this engine needs 5.2 Liters. How did you manage that extra 200 ml? Most engine oil in the market seem to be selling only 5 liter containers.
Best way I could think of doing it is finding a brand that offers 5 quart bottles, and 1 quart bottles. Add the 5 quart, then add half of the 1 quart bottle.
Are you talking about on my engine or yours? Mine has timing chain issues I need to deal with, a light ticket is normal but if it’s rattling on cold starts you probably have a timing chain issue.
Just got a 2011 3.5 Sante Fe for my daughter and doing all the necessary fluid changes. Great video BTW. Do you know where the VVT solenoid is on the 3.5? It's throwing a 0014 code which means I need to clean or replace the VVT solenoid.
@matt77758 Is the VVT solenoid the same as the camshaft sensor? because you have to remove the battery and battery trey to get to that. On the top of the motor where you mention the thing I saw that I took a loose was some sensor that looked like a 1 inch plastic nub but it didn't look like a solenoid or none thay I've ever seen before.
@@marvinonstage Nope, the cam position sensor is a different part and I believe those are down under the intake in the valley of the engine. The VVT solenoid has a metal housing and mounts with 2 bolts.
@matt77758 Thanks. Haven't found it yet. On the 2.5 its right by the manifold in the back, but in the 3.5 it has a manafold in front and in back since the v6 is in there sideways. Does the car have two VVT solenoid or just one in front somewhere?
@@marvinonstage There are two one on each head. If you go to rockauto, they show you pictures of what they look like, they are both different in the way they mount. The scanner didn’t reveal which one was at fault? Around $100 each for Hyundai ones or you can get some aftermarket ones cheaper so maybe you could just change them both and then you would be sure or you may be able to just take them out and clean them. I think they just got sludged up overtime.
ALWAYS put oil on the o ring before or after you put it on the housing. the oil pan drain bolt is between 25- 32 ft lbs and always change the crush washer
Thanks and sorry wish I knew the size of the washer, I had a universal washer kit and just picked one out of that. You can also get the reusable washer that has the rubber seal on it, those are actually my favourite but I didn’t have one handy, I believe I used an aluminum one. I don’t really care for the plastic ones.
Unfortunately they don’t have one, they have a level plug in the front cover that you remove and then a fill plug in the top of it, you have to have the vehicle up to temperature and on level ground and then you measure the stream that comes out of the level plug, it needs to trickle out at a certain rate. That’s what I know about it, I suggest looking up the procedure online since I did not actually do it on mine.
@@boyscout-p3u Yes that would make more sense to me but unfortunately that’s not how they did it. This kind of thing is getting really common because they are just trying to make it a little more complicated so you have to bring it to the dealer.
You are going to get severely injured or worse if you keep using wood like that to put your can in the air. Good jack stands and jack is worth a lot less than your life.
@Crazywaffle5150 Using jack stands outside is a very, very bad and dangerous idea. Also the fact that you think a 4,000 lbs vehicle is going to crush a solid wood block is hilarious.
Why would you warm up the car to do an oil change? Ideally you want it cool and not driven for at least an hour so the oil will have settled into the pan.
You warm it up so all the sludge on the bottom of the pan is suspended in the oil and drains out with the oil. It only takes about 15 minutes for all the oil to drain back down into the pan and I always let it drain out at least that long. It’s pretty common practice, there have been situations where I’ve done cold oil changes but I much prefer to do it hot.

@@chevycamaro78 Thank you. Really appreciate the feedback.
What an incredibly simple but very very informative video. Thanks so much matt, you just earned yourself a subscriber thanks to your solid content!
Thanks I appreciate both the sub and the feedback.(-:
Thanks! Nice clear explanation of an oil/filter change!
Good job on description. Because for that filter cap I was going to use a crescent wrench. Good stuff
Thanks, I appreciate that.
I'm into 80s 90s cars but first time I see this oli filter on top of the engine looks like a air filter ,good content👋
Yeah I’m not a big fan of this style of oil filter myself, I much prefer the regular old cannister style.
Extremely helpful and informative. Thank you very much!
@Levchukkostya Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.
Great video well done thank you. What a great idea to use masking tape to remember oil change info.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

Hang onto it those are way better engines on those older ones.
@@CarswithNash Yea I've taken great care of mine. Just got over 150k miles amd she's still going strong. Very reliable vehicle.
Hi Matt, Great Video. By mistake, I removed the screw on the top right corner of the screen when it goes at 1':20'', and drained the fluid. Do you know what's the fluid and how I can refill it? Thanks a lot!
Very nice and informative. Nothing extra.
That’s what I aim for, thanks for the feedback.
I could also just google this and find out, but figured I would ask too: what is the point of using 5w-30 instead of the manufacturer spec?
@Liebe-Futurel If you read your owner's manual 5w-30 is recommended. It's a little thicker, but the main reason I use it is because it's more readily available, easier to find on sale.
Thank you for the detailed video. The Pennzoil you showed was only 5 liters but you mentioned that this engine needs 5.2 Liters. How did you manage that extra 200 ml? Most engine oil in the market seem to be selling only 5 liter containers.
I run that same Pennzoil in multiple vehicles, so I topped it up from another jug I had.
Best way I could think of doing it is finding a brand that offers 5 quart bottles, and 1 quart bottles. Add the 5 quart, then add half of the 1 quart bottle.
Thanks Matt, great video.
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.
Can i use 10w40
For 3.3l engine?
Thanks Matt great and helpful video
Great to hear. I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you bro you are great İ have same engine but while idling that click sound sound weird to me is it normal?
Are you talking about on my engine or yours? Mine has timing chain issues I need to deal with, a light ticket is normal but if it’s rattling on cold starts you probably have a timing chain issue.
Hi how are you doing?
Do you have any video has oil Steering, change it?
Thank you
Doing well. Sorry, I do not have any videos covering that, wish I could help you out but I just fix what's broken.
Terrific job. Thank you so much!

Just on the front of the engine on top the valve cover, if you Google images you will find it pretty easy.

Weirdly, my drain plug bolt was a 16mm, NOT 17mm as stated in this video.

Thank you so much . How much Liter does the car need?

Great video, what size washer is it? And is it a special type of washer or just plain.

Does the outing and washer come with the filter?
The O-rings are included with the filter, the washer for the drain plug is not.

thanks very well done
Just a heads up...the Santa Fe v6 is a 3.3L...not 3.5
They could be optioned with either, mine has the 3.5.
07-09 is 3.3 and 10-12 is 3.5
Or just take the oil cap off to allow air flow 🤷🏻
That also allows debris to fall in it, especially when you’re working outside as I was.
Thank you
