What is the engine oil capacity for Hyundai Santa Fe, 3.3L V6

My car has 3700 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

When changing the engine oil in your vehicle, and replacing the oil filter, the refill capacity should be 6 quarts. I would suggest putting in 5 quarts first, and then use the dipstick to get the level correct, just to be sure.
