The type of oil that is recommended to be used in the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe is SAE 5W-20 Synthetic for both the 2.7 L V6 and the 3.3 L V6 engine. The capacity for the vehicle iS4.8 quarts with a filter for the 2.7 L V6 and 5.5 quarts with a filter for the 3.3 L V6 engine. Oil is primarily used to help keep the engine clean and running smoothly. The oil and the filter should be changed every 5,000 miles because it will go bad after a while. A mechanic will charge around $40 to $60 in labor costs to change the oil. It is pretty easy to do a change and only takes about 5 to 15 minutes.
