Some Hyundai Santa Fe Sport owners report experiencing engine shaking and oil consumption issues after replacing spark plugs and coils. This engine shaking may be attributed to an engine misfire, potentially caused by faulty spark plugs, coils, or fuel injectors. Additionally, some owners have noted excessive oil consumption, which is a known issue with this model, often linked to defective components or wear and tear. To address oil consumption concerns, it is advisable to request a combustion chamber cleaning from a dealer, as there is a technical service bulletin (TSB) addressing this problem. Some owners also find success with a piston soak procedure using products like Berryman's B12 to free up sticking rings in the engine. Regular maintenance, including timely oil changes and the use of engine oil flush products like BG EPR, is recommended to help maintain engine performance and mitigate oil consumption issues. Consulting with a Hyundai dealer or a qualified mechanic is suggested for effective diagnosis and resolution of these problems.
