I HAVE A HYUNDAI SANTA FE, THE OIL LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER I HAVE PUT 5 LTRS OF OIL IN IT. ANY IDEA'S?

For your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, the recommended engine oil type depends on the specific trim. Let's explore the options:

Santa Fe 2.2 CRDi:
Recommended oil types: ACEA C3, ACEA A3/B4, SAE 0W-30, SAE 0W-40, SAE 10W-40, SAE 10W-60, SAE 15W-40, SAE 5W-30, SAE 5W-40, SAE 5W-50, SAE 20W-50, and SAE 0W-2012.
Santa Fe 2.4i CVVT:
Recommended oil type: Not specified in the available data.
Santa Fe 2.7i V6:
Recommended oil type: Not specified in the available data.
Santa Fe 3.3 V6:
Recommended oil type: Not specified in the available data.
Remember to check your vehicle's manual or consult a professional mechanic for precise guidance.

IS THE SOCKET GOOD (ANY CRUD BUILD UP IN THE SOCKET) CHECK THE WIRES TO THE SOCKET FOR GOOD CONNECTIONS.

When you install the filter, be sure to put a small amount of clean oil on the seal, don't over tighten, just hand tight.

change your spark plugs..all of them...and and put in the correct amount of oil..

My 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe is a 17mm. I also made a video showing how to change the oil.

for this and all future questions

have the system checked with a scanner to get a trouble code that will give you a idea where the problem is

Oil additive... check out available oil treatments like Z-Max

DID YOU CHECK THE BULBS?

Lift your Hyundai Santa Fe using a jack and then place the car on jack stands. If you don't have jack stands, drive the car onto a set of wheel ramps.
Pop the hood and remove the dipstick and oil filler cap. The dipstick is near the front engine compartment with the oil filler nearby.
Gather an oil drip pan, a 17-mm wrench, oil filter wrench, cleaning cloths and a new oil filter. Slide under your Santa Fe.

Change the Oil

• Locate the oil filter and oil drain plug underneath the car. The drain plug is on the bottom of the oil pan, and the filter is to the side of the oil pan.
• Remove the oil drain plug using the 17mm wrench. Pull the plug out quickly and let the oil drain for 10 to 15 minutes. Check the gaskets and threads for damage. Replace these components, if necessary.
• Take off the oil filter using an oil filter wrench. Dump the old oil into the oil drip pan and put on the new oil filter. Tighten the oil filter by hand, and then replace the oil drain plug using the wrench. Clean off the excess oil.
• Go under the hood and add oil. Turn on the engine and check the oil pressure gauge to make sure it rises. Let your Santa Fe run for a minute.
• Lower your Hyundai Santa Fe and turn off the engine. Take an oil reading on the dipstick. If the oil level isn't at full, add a bit more oil.
