2011 Hyundai Santa Fe Oil Capacity

The 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe takes 5.5 qt of oil with the G4KE engine or 4.9 qt with the G6DC engine. Both engines call for 5W-20 oil, so the engine code—not simply the model year—determines which listed capacity applies to your vehicle.

Read the capacity as the listed amount of oil for the specified engine, and match the engine code before using it. The figures here distinguish the G4KE from the G6DC; they do not establish a separate capacity by trim. If you cannot identify your engine or need a figure not listed here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

Use the listed amount as a reference, then follow the owner's manual for the correct checking and filling procedure. Avoid applying one engine's capacity to the other: the G4KE and G6DC have different listed amounts, even though both use 5W-20.
