• Regular scheduled service at a certified dealership helps preserve warranty coverage and avoids larger repair costs down the road.

What type of oil does a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid take?

• Use manufacturer-recommended full synthetic oil that meets Hyundai specifications—this ensures proper lubrication for the turbocharged 1.6L engine and maintains efficiency.
• Many modern Hyundai engines call for a low-viscosity synthetic such as 0W-20 or a similarly specified grade; confirm the exact spec in your owner’s manual or with our service advisors.
• Nalley Hyundai uses OEM-spec synthetic oil and genuine filters to protect engine components and turbochargers from premature wear.
• Using the recommended oil supports emissions control, fuel economy, and warranty compliance—warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.

How much oil does a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid need?

• Typical capacity for a modern 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder with filter replacement is approximately 4 to 5 quarts; the exact capacity is in the owner’s manual.
• Nalley Hyundai technicians measure and top oil precisely to factory specifications and verify levels after warm-up to ensure proper fill and operation.
• Correct fill is critical for turbocharged engines—too little oil risks damage, too much causes foaming and pressure issues.
• Bringing your vehicle to a certified dealership ensures the correct capacity, fluid grade, and service records for warranty and resale value.
