Hyundai Santa Fe Service Intervals

What is the Hyundai Santa Fe Maintenance Schedule?

For consistent performance and to ensure a long lifespan, Hyundai recommends regular service for the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe will need to have the same general services performed, starting with any model made in 2000 or later. However, the most accurate Hyundai Santa Fe maintenance schedule for your vehicle is printed in the owner's manual that you get with the car. A knowledgeable Hyundai mechanic can also inform you of what services are required for your Hyundai and when. Whether your Hyundai is approaching its first service milestone or nearing 100,000 miles, contact our service team to book an appointment for optimal car care.

15,000-Mile Service

The first service appointment recommended by Hyundai starts at 15,000 miles. From there, Hyundai Santa Fe service intervals take place every additional 15,000 to 30,000 miles. The first service appointment is the most basic, but it is still a vital service to have. When your Santa Fe gets to 15,000 miles, it will have another oil change. The first oil change occurs at about 8,000 miles, along with a tire rotation. The Santa Fe will have an exterior check-up that includes an assessment of its exterior front and backlights and the front windshield wipers. The engine's fuel filter may get cleaned to allow fresh and oxygenated air into the fuel lines and engine.

30,000-Mile Service

Your Santa Fe will need an oil change in between the first and second service appointments. A mechanic may also recheck the tire in between 15,000 and 30,000 miles. The Santa Fe will get service to its brakes at 30,000 miles, including a full brake inspection of the disc brakes, brake pads, and the associated braking wires and connections. The mechanical system gets an inspection with the ball joints, muffler, and exhaust pipe all checked.

60,000-Mile Service

The Santa Fe's brakes get rechecked at 60,000 miles. The parking brake is also inspected at this point. The muffler is once again examined, and a certified technician will look at the suspension system and battery performance. The propeller shaft gets serviced at 60,000 miles, and your car's tires are re-balanced, rotated, or replaced depending on their tread depth and quality.

90,000-Mile Service

Your Santa Fe will need an oil change and likely a new engine filter when it nears six figures on the odometer. The transmission and power steering fluid are changed too, and the differential oil will get replaced.
