Problem overview

Some Hyundai Santa Fe Sport owners report experiencing oil consumption issues after regular oil changes, with symptoms such as low oil levels between changes indicating excessive consumption. These owners are advised to visit a dealer to report the problem, as a combustion chamber cleaning may be suggested to improve oil consumption after driving a certain distance. Regularly checking fluid levels, including oil, is crucial for maintenance, and even those who do not typically experience oil consumption are encouraged to check their oil every 1000 miles. Additionally, some owners note that Hyundai vehicles, including the Santa Fe Sport, are prone to oil consumption issues often linked to sticking rings, with recommended solutions including a piston soak procedure and engine oil flushes. Consulting with a professional is recommended for effective resolution of these concerns.
