Great video well done and informative was there a wind guard under the engine? I was sweating worried about your block ramps. For your safety remember the wood can break so I suggest real ramps.
Hi Matt, Great Video. By mistake, I removed the screw on the top right corner of the screen when it goes at 1':20'', and drained the fluid. Do you know what's the fluid and how I can refill it? Thanks a lot!
ALWAYS put oil on the o ring before or after you put it on the housing. the oil pan drain bolt is between 25- 32 ft lbs and always change the crush washer
Yea i have an 07 2.7 L V6 Santa Fe and it has the underneath cannister style filter and the drain plug is on the back of the pan instead of the front. Solid video though.
Are you talking about on my engine or yours? Mine has timing chain issues I need to deal with, a light ticket is normal but if it’s rattling on cold starts you probably have a timing chain issue.
Thank you for the detailed video. The Pennzoil you showed was only 5 liters but you mentioned that this engine needs 5.2 Liters. How did you manage that extra 200 ml? Most engine oil in the market seem to be selling only 5 liter containers.
Best way I could think of doing it is finding a brand that offers 5 quart bottles, and 1 quart bottles. Add the 5 quart, then add half of the 1 quart bottle.
Thanks and sorry wish I knew the size of the washer, I had a universal washer kit and just picked one out of that. You can also get the reusable washer that has the rubber seal on it, those are actually my favourite but I didn’t have one handy, I believe I used an aluminum one. I don’t really care for the plastic ones.
Just got a 2011 3.5 Sante Fe for my daughter and doing all the necessary fluid changes. Great video BTW. Do you know where the VVT solenoid is on the 3.5? It's throwing a 0014 code which means I need to clean or replace the VVT solenoid.
@matt77758 Is the VVT solenoid the same as the camshaft sensor? because you have to remove the battery and battery trey to get to that. On the top of the motor where you mention the thing I saw that I took a loose was some sensor that looked like a 1 inch plastic nub but it didn't look like a solenoid or none thay I've ever seen before.
@@marvinonstage Nope, the cam position sensor is a different part and I believe those are down under the intake in the valley of the engine. The VVT solenoid has a metal housing and mounts with 2 bolts.
@matt77758 Thanks. Haven't found it yet. On the 2.5 its right by the manifold in the back, but in the 3.5 it has a manafold in front and in back since the v6 is in there sideways. Does the car have two VVT solenoid or just one in front somewhere?
@@marvinonstage There are two one on each head. If you go to rockauto, they show you pictures of what they look like, they are both different in the way they mount. The scanner didn’t reveal which one was at fault? Around $100 each for Hyundai ones or you can get some aftermarket ones cheaper so maybe you could just change them both and then you would be sure or you may be able to just take them out and clean them. I think they just got sludged up overtime.
Why would you warm up the car to do an oil change? Ideally you want it cool and not driven for at least an hour so the oil will have settled into the pan.
You warm it up so all the sludge on the bottom of the pan is suspended in the oil and drains out with the oil. It only takes about 15 minutes for all the oil to drain back down into the pan and I always let it drain out at least that long. It’s pretty common practice, there have been situations where I’ve done cold oil changes but I much prefer to do it hot.
Unfortunately they don’t have one, they have a level plug in the front cover that you remove and then a fill plug in the top of it, you have to have the vehicle up to temperature and on level ground and then you measure the stream that comes out of the level plug, it needs to trickle out at a certain rate. That’s what I know about it, I suggest looking up the procedure online since I did not actually do it on mine.
@@jamesortega8681 Yes that would make more sense to me but unfortunately that’s not how they did it. This kind of thing is getting really common because they are just trying to make it a little more complicated so you have to bring it to the dealer.
