Checking Engine Oil

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Position a vehicle on a level surface.
  2. Turn off the engine.
    NOTE: In the case of a vehicle that has not been used for a prolonged period, run the engine for several minutes. Turn off the engine and wait for 5 minutes at least, then check the oil level.
  3. Check that the engine oil level is within the level range indicated on the oil dipstick. If the oil level is found to have fallen to the lower limit (the "L" mark), refill to the "F" mark.
    NOTE: When refilling, use the proper grade of engine oil.
  4. Check that the oil is not dirty or mixed with coolant or gasoline, and that it has the proper viscosity.
