Additional Notes

  • Across all five configurations of the Hyundai Santa Fe SM (EU) covered here, the manual transaxle fluid capacity is uniformly 2.1 liters, a figure consistent with a service fill rather than a full overhaul volume, as transaxle overhauls typically require draining and refilling with the unit partially disassembled.
  • All rows carry a use condition of "->2005," meaning the listed specifications apply to vehicles up to and including the 2005 model year within the respective production ranges.
  • The 2.0 CRDi 16V and its 4WD counterpart share a check interval of 15,000 km or 12 months, rather than a fluid change interval, indicating a monitoring requirement rather than a scheduled replacement at that mileage or time point.
  • The petrol variants, the 2.0i 16V, 2.4i 16V, and 2.4i 16V 4WD, are each assigned a change interval of 45,000 km or 36 months, representing a full fluid replacement cycle rather than an inspection.
  • The interval difference between the diesel and petrol configurations is notable: the CRDi engines call for a fluid check at 15,000 km/12 months, while the petrol engines specify a fluid change at 45,000 km/36 months, reflecting distinct service approaches across powertrain types within the same model generation.
  • The 2.4i 16V and 2.4i 16V 4WD share identical capacity and interval specifications at 2.1 liters and 45,000 km/36 months, indicating no differentiation in manual transaxle service requirements between the two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions of the 2.4-liter petrol engine.
