2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Oil Capacity
The 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe takes 4.8 qt of oil with the G6BA engine or 5.5 qt with the G6DB engine. The listed oil grades also differ: the G6BA uses 5W-30, while the G6DB uses 5W-20. Check the engine designation for your vehicle before using the capacity or grade shown here.
These capacities are listed by engine, not as one amount for every Santa Fe. The G6BA and G6DB have different oil capacities and recommended grades, so do not assume the figure for one engine applies to the other. The listed amount is a reference for the specified engine; confirm the required oil and service procedure in the owner's manual if you are unsure which engine your vehicle has.
This information covers the 2008 model year. Capacity or oil-grade recommendations can vary by engine or model year, so use the figures for the correct vehicle configuration. If a capacity or grade is not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.
