I have been having a problem with my 2006 3.5l Santa Fe. In the morning, when the engine is cold, I get a lifter tap. It lasts for about a minute and then quiets down. Sometime it comes back but not as loud. I change my oil often and use the viscosity recommended for the engine. I have taken it to the dealer but you guessed it, by the thime I get there it is quiet as a church mouse. I probably will have to leave it there overnight and see if happens for them. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you go about having it repaired?




I use the Mobil 1 and love it, I will definately give the Hyundai filter a try.
