Your Santa Fe uses Hyundai 00232-19057 SP4-M transmission fluid if it is the conventional automatic. Looking at the compatibility on their bottle it only lists the SP-3 so I wouldn't use it.

You can get the OEM fluid from a dealer or look around for fluid that says it is SP-IV M compatible. There are a couple companies that have it, many parts stores can also get it if they don't have an equivalent in stock.
how do I know if the fluid is bad? The fluid I drain out the color of it is a dark color.

Hi,
Transmission fluid should be a translucent red color. If it is dark, chances are it is dirty or burnt. If that is the case, I would recommend servicing it.
