Additional Notes

  • Both the 2.0 CRDi 16V 4WD and the 2.7i V6 24V 4WD carry an automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 8.5 liters, a figure that reflects a full service fill for the transmission assembly.
  • The Hyundai Santa Fe SM (EU) automatic transaxle fluid interval is structured in two stages under normal use conditions: a check interval set at 30,000 km or 24 months, and a change interval set at 90,000 km or 72 months.
  • The 90,000 km or 72-month change interval applies to normal use conditions across both the diesel and petrol V6 configurations, meaning the interval is not adjusted between the two engine types.
  • The check interval of 30,000 km or 24 months means the fluid level and condition are to be inspected three times before the first full drain and refill becomes due at 90,000 km.
  • The 8.5-liter capacity figure is consistent across the 2.0 CRDi 16V 4WD, which entered the range in 2002, and the 2.7i V6 24V 4WD, which dates from 2000, indicating both share the same transaxle unit in terms of fluid volume.
