oil change frequency

Asked by GuruT9MVY Jun 09, 2018 at 05:54 PM about the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2018 Sante Fe Sport shows almost a quart low on the dipstick after about
5000 miles between oil changes.  Is that normal, or should I be changing oil
sooner than the recommended 7500 miles between changes?

7 Answers

I would change oil every 5,000 miles. 7,500 is too long.

It's common for new engines to use some oil at the initial break-in

Check the oil every time you fill up. If you find it is not using oil you can check less frequently.

Undo the oil fill cap then re-check oil on the dipstick, should be full. Same thing happened to my 2018, service guy says a lot of oil stays under pressure behind the valves. when pressure is released by removing oil fill cap, oil level returns to normal.
