Nice video, 4.5 ltrs for a 3.5 ltr engine is not alot, don`t you just love those canister oil filters the mess they make, my old Ford Diesel the oil run all over the crossmember when removing the filter, what a job cleaning up afterwards, Looking at the filler cap reminds me when i worked in the car trade, woman phoned saying she wanted to put oil in the engine, we said there`s a cap on the top of the engine it says oil or a shape of an oil can, she replied the only cap i can see says 710 we were scratching our heads for ages. true story. ps like the ratchet.
+bmwnasher Thank you. You are right they are messy. I have seen people punching a hole in the canister to drain it but then you get the oil all over your hands, can't win. If you don't get all the oil it drips for days on your drive or garage. My KIA Sorento has a cartridge filter on the top of the engine (no mess at all). Screw the top of the oil compartment and pull the filter which, if you wait a few minutes after you turn off the engine, will be drained of oil and you just take the paper filter out without a mess. Very nice design. The composite ratchets are very light and extremely strong, a great buy with a (Lifetime replacement warranty). Ahh yes the infamous 710 cap gets them every time.
Great job, Richard. Thank you. Amazon also has the Lisle # 61550 Oil Filter Cap Removal Wrench Attachment Tool, which easily fits right onto your socket wrench , for $10 or so. I have used this for years and it works great. I try not to over tighten the filter, which will make it much easier to remove the next time. For years now I have done my own oil changes, and always take time to drive the car up on my Rhino Ramps first to make it easy to remove the bolts from the plastic under body cover, which then gives you much better access to the drain bolt and the filters, as well as positioning for your drain tubs. You can also quickly check out the condition of your under body suspension, steering and drive train parts, as well as give you easy access to the transmission drain bolt and coolant drain petcock. I always carefully clean the oil pan area and spray any undercoat where needed to protect exposed surfaces against corrosion.. Be sure to spread out some handy flattened cardboard boxes to absorb any of the usual spills or drips.
Richard: that oil looked pretty dirty. how many miles on it and I would think this vehicle is not a GDI system. Question, when you had your 2011 sonata did you notice the engine oil got dirty much faster, if so I think the GDI causes this. In mine I noticed a lot of fuel dilution and that is not attributed to short trip driving!
+kkovler1 The oil was very dirty and I will be changing it again 1000 miles just to clear out the dirt and gunk that may have been left behind from this oil change. The Santa Fe has 137,000 miles on it. I bought the vehicle used so I have no idea how many miles there were on the oil but by the look of it I would have to say that it was way past it's service limit. I don't think that the GDI is causing oil dilution as it the most efficient fuel injection system available therefore less likely to over fuel or run rich which would cause oil dilution. I have heard the turbo charger is part of the reason as it breaks down the oil quicker but that is just speculation on my part. Thanks.
+kkovler1 I change the oil in it every 3,000 and I use synthetic only so it was not really an issue for me. I don't like to let oil get very dirty. The stuff that came out of this engine 3.5L V6 was ten times worse than I will ever let it get. That is one the pitfalls of buying a used vehicle, you can only guess at the level of care the last owner gave it. Thanks again.
Good that you use a torque wrench to tighten the filter as it's quite easy to overtighten. Normally you would only tighten the filter by hand, but with this engine that's kind of hard to do. The filters I'm familiar with have pictograms instructing to tighten by hand, when the seal hits the engine block and then an extra 3/4 turn (check e.g. this photo: www.autopartsapi.com/eEuroparts.com/images/parts/lg_1ea7a241-08c8-42ef-8c0c-9a30f6e53c4c.jpg). Pre filling the filter is a bit controversial, but not actually required. In a vertically mounted (upside down) filters there's no problem, but you wouldn't want to do it on horizontally or upright mounted filters. Did you notice that you used the whole container despite mentioning that it was more than needed? Yes, you overfilled. The correct level is halfway between F and L (or "min" and "max" in the photo) on the dipstick, altough slight overfilling won't really be a problem. Stick to the oil change interval recommended by Hyundai, which will probably be much longer than 3000 mi, especially on synthetic oils. Going more frequent only gives you extra cost but no gains, except perhaps when regularly driving in extreme conditions. Oh, and some oils look black brand new from the bottle, so that oil coming from the sump may not have been bad at all.
would like to see how to remove and replace the overhead console/eyeglass holder

Dirty oil makes for a clean engine great video Richard.

+bmwnasher English vs American spelling.

heard it's the rings allowing blowby, they are made of soft material, all to allow better gas mileage, thanks to EPA!
