Just had aa oil change in Sept, no leaks anywhere but no oil left. Do Hyundai Santa Fe burn that much oil?

Hi:
your question suggests that this is a new situation. Have you owned this Santa Fe very long?

It isn't uncommon for a 5 year old vehicle to use a quart or so between oil changes, but you seem to think that yours used a lot more than that. A good plan to try is this:

Get a new oil and filter change. Make sure that the proper recomended oil is used . Start a regiment to check your oil every day for the first week, and record the vehicle mileage. After one week, if the vehicle has not used a quart of oil, then you can start checking your oil once a week, and every time you fill the tank, until you have used a quart of oil. Once you have used a quart, fill the engine back up and repeat the process until you have a very good idea of how much oil your car is consuming. Once you do this, then you can talk to a mechanic to see if your vehicle has a bad enough problem to warrant a repair.

An engine shouldn't burn any oil at all. If it is then it has internal problems. In this case there will be a tremendous amount of smoke. If you feel that there is no leak and the oil is disappearing then have a compression test preformed and that will guide your technician to the problem. Hope this helps. Good luck.

No. Either the shop forgot to refill your engine, or they improperly installed the drain plug or drain plug gasket. Also, make sure that the oil filter is the right kind, and also properly installed. It is possible to have a leak without any apparent signs, so make sure to check thouroghly. I hope this helps you out!
