Additional Notes
- The Santa Fe 2.4i 16V 4WD (2000-2006) rear differential holds 1.2 liters, which is the largest rear differential capacity across the SM (EU) range in the specifications.
- Both the front and rear differentials on the Santa Fe 2.0 CRDi 16V 4WD (2002-2006) share an identical 1.1-liter capacity, and both follow the same check interval of 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use conditions.
- The rear differential on the Santa Fe 2.7i V6 24V 4WD also holds 1.1 liters, placing it in line with the 2.0 CRDi rear differential capacity rather than the higher 1.2-liter figure seen on the 2.4i.
- A check interval, as applied to the 2.0 CRDi and 2.7i V6 differentials, means the fluid level and condition are inspected at 24 months or 30,000 km under normal use, rather than drained and replaced on that schedule.
- The Santa Fe 2.4i 16V 4WD rear differential is specified with a change interval of 30,000 km or 24 months under normal use, meaning the fluid is replaced rather than only inspected at that point.
- The 2.0 CRDi 16V 4WD is the only configuration in the specifications to carry a front differential entry, with a 1.1-liter capacity and a 24-month or 30,000 km check interval under normal use.
- The 2.0 CRDi 16V 4WD variant covers a narrower model year span of 2002-2006, while the 2.4i 16V and 2.7i V6 configurations both span the full 2000-2006 range reflected in the specifications.
