Just like we go to the doctor for a checkup, our vehicles also require regular inspections to make sure all the various systems are operating at their best. This helps prevent parts from becoming damaged and keeps your vehicle performing at its safest and most efficient.

To help drivers in Willow Grove, Abington, and Lower Southampton Township know when to schedule their next service for their Hyundai Santa Fe, our Hyundai of Abington team made this handy guide for you to follow.

Once a Year

At least once a year-or whenever you've driven another 7,500 miles-there are a few key services you'll need to have performed. This includes having the engine oil and filter changed in your Sant Fe. If your Santa Fe is powered by the available 2.0 turbo GDI engine, the oil should be changed every 6,000 miles.

You'll also need to have the tires rotated. This keeps them wearing at an even rate and helps extend their longevity. You should also have various components inspected, including:

• Brakes
• Battery
• Air cleaner filter
• Suspension mounting bolts
• Exhaust pipe and muffler

Having these and other parts regularly checked lets you know the exact condition of each component of your Hyundai Santa Fe.

Every Two Years

Additional inspections will need to be performed every other year or every 15,000 miles. This includes having the vapor hose, fuel filler cap, and fuel tank inspected. You'll also want to have the brake fluid checked and the driveshaft and boots inspected.

If your Santa Fe is equipped with an all-wheel drive (AWD) system, the propeller shaft should also be checked. At this time, you'll also need to have the climate control air filter replaced.

Replacing Other Parts

As the miles add up, other parts and fluids will slowly wear and require replacement as well. Depending again which engine powers your Santa Fe, the schedule for these services varies slightly.

Additionally, the engine coolant will need to be replaced once the odometer hits 120,000 miles. After that, this service should be done every 30,000 miles.

Getting these replacements done at their appropriate times not only helps your Santa Fe continue to perform at its best but also helps improve its lifespan for more years of fun and smooth driving in your SUV.
