Before you begin
Engine air filters play an important role in maintaining engine performance and health. An obstructed or dirty air filter may cause reduced engine performance and fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance is necessary for cars to increase their usability and longevity. On average it is recommended that an engine air filter be changed every two to three years in normal driving conditions. However, driving on more dusty roads will require it to be changed every year. This guide will serve as a tool for 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport owners to help them complete this simple maintenance task and be able to increase the lifespan of their vehicle. As a safety precaution, ensure that the vehicle is turned off, in park, and the emergency brake is engaged before beginning this repair. If you have been driving just before this procedure, make sure that your engine has cooled down before working under the hood of your car to avoid burns.
