How to replace the gearbox oil in a Hyundai Santa Fe?

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 2 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Transmission fluid

To replace the gearbox oil in a Hyundai Santa Fe, you need to lift the vehicle to access the underside of the engine compartment: here you will find a protective panel that must be removed by loosening its fixing screws. Once the panel is removed, you can access the drain plug of the oil reservoir, which must be unscrewed to collect the used oil in a container. Once finished, close the drain plug and top up through the breather inside the engine compartment, under the fuse box.
