2012 Hyundai Santa Fe Oil Capacity

The 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe oil capacity depends on the engine: the G4KE takes 5.5 qt, while the G6DC takes 4.9 qt. Both engines use 5W-20 oil. Check the engine code before using the listed capacity, since the amount differs between these two engines.

Read each figure as the listed oil capacity for that engine, with the oil type shown alongside it. These figures are specific to the 2012 Santa Fe facts provided here; they do not establish the capacity for another year or trim. If you cannot confirm which engine is in your vehicle, check the door jamb or owner's manual. Confirm any oil specification or capacity not listed here in the owner's manual.
