3.5L V6 ????

Oil pressure switch.... get it before it fully "POPS" and shoot oil like an open artery... then we oil ness to next to no end

Did we just have oil change at a non-Hyundai facility ??... incorrect filter,, or filter install make for similar light concerns, but usually see MIL and find cam time related DTC's

 

Yes its the 3.5 V6 Limited edition.

No, oil change was done almost three months ago and I changed the oil myself. Im pretty sure I did it correctly and have had no issues all this time.

I just started today. It was a cold day (-25 overnight and -16 when the light come up)

 

Took it to the dealer and it confirmed that it was the oil pressure switch.

It has been replaced and all is good now

 

What did it cost total?

 

Them oil switches just keep on going....south.

 

Got tasked with switch on a 3.3 GDI... I ended up eating part of it because I guessed less than what I thought it would take.. Hyundai site pretty lame for replace..

Come to find out that after intake off, there be GDI delivery pipe connected to 2 GDI injector rails over top of switch,, removed rails, I see switch.... Socket wont fit in, and water pipe in way (Hyundai site says "remove water pipe" as Step 1)...

Now I am removing stuff from top of transmission, then start to remove hardware holding crossover between back of both heads.. pull back a good bit, and finally water pipe in the valley comes out.. now I can wrench the switch out to replace it..

Next one that I get tasked with with will carry a 4.5hr labor estimate, GDI pipe was $120, switch is $20, misc gaskets and seals..

Got done, light still come on at idle... suspect something in pan or pump /engine concern.. took care of oil leak at top anyway, as leaking switch will make for oil light at idle... he took car,, I was glad to see it go.

 

its unbelievable how Huyndai never fixed this.

 

I've seen Part location photos of the 3.3L long ago and certain then the oil switch was on the right middle area up top somewhere. I was presuming incorrectly its was a better layout. I believe this was in a Chilton manual I researched. I have to ask why are they not setup to be easily accessible. (if they fail under warranty its big deal for such an item).

 

Been 6 years ago, but $935 from dealer:

Oil Pressure Switch Replacement - 2010 Santa Fe 3.5L

Been lurking around here for a couple years and thought I would share some info and pics on replacing the oil pressure switch on my wife’s 2010 Santa Fe (3.5L). After 73K miles, this is our first mechanical issue of any kind with this car. The switch was not covered under the power train...
