I just bought my used SF 2.7 2007 and seems a bit confused about the oil check level. every time I check it it is over the F level and I only put 4.5 liters as mentioned in the manual. any advise on exact checking !!  thanks

Replying to: th99 (Nov 29, 2009 4:00 am) Do you get the overfill level when you're doing the oil change BEFORE starting the car? Remember, the filter will hold some oil and is empty before you start the car which may show the oil level too high. Once you start the car the oil will be pumped through the filter and lower the oil level as read from the dipstick. just a thought. |

On the way to work the engine seized up on my wife and it lost all the oil from the engine a 2.7 FWD GLS. The dealership said that it was due to a loose oil filter, that had been on for almost 3500 miles (and two months) with out any oil loss, and or leaks. I have never heard of this happening before, or is this a Sante Fe problem? Anyway it is going to cost $6800.00 to replace the engine is this a fair price? |
