Quick answer: the 2024–2025 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.5L Turbo takes 6.13 US qt (5.8 L) of oil at an oil change. Hyundai specifies full synthetic SAE 0W-30 (API SN PLUS/SP or ILSAC GF-6).

|---|---|---|
| 2.5L Turbo GDI (Smartstream G2.5 T-GDI) | 6.13 US qt (5.8 L) | 0W-30 full synthetic (API SN PLUS/SP or ILSAC GF-6) |
Use full synthetic. Hyundai says that if a lower grade (mineral or semi-synthetic) oil is used, the oil and filter must be changed on the severe-maintenance schedule.

How to reset the oil change reminder on the 2024–2025 Hyundai Santa Fe
See also: Oil life reset by brand.
Hyundai handles the oil reminder through the Service Interval menu in the instrument cluster’s User Settings (on some models, in the infotainment Settings). The newer manuals list three items there: turn Service Interval on or off, Adjust Interval to set the time and distance, and Reset after an oil change. Older manuals (for example the 2018 Sonata) say to consult a Hyundai dealer to use the menu.
Oil change tips
- Buy a 5-quart jug plus two quarts.
- Hyundai lists a “drain and refill” volume. After refilling, run the engine for a minute, turn it off, wait a few minutes and check that the level is between the F and L marks on the dipstick before adding more.
