I agree with you, I change my oil too and would neve run more than 5000 miles , I think the oil is the blood of the engine and a transfusion will only do good for the engine . I have a Santa Fe 2007 that I bought brand new and it has 286000 miles on it with max of a 1/2 quart burned every 3500 miles oil change .
I just want to say thank you so much for making such an amazing tutorial. Honestly, you have no idea how much you put me at ease when doing an oil change on my Santa Fe. To get my oil changed done by Costco 80 bucks but now they are stopping oil changes altogether
Interesting. I have never experienced a canister type filter located above the engine. I always prime the filter (fill with oil) prior to installation. Wouldn't you recommend putting oil in the filter cavity prior to installing the cap?
