I use WIX filters that are the XP version in my wife's 2013 Sonata, and change around 3-4K miles. Like younsaid donuse cheap filters, some are made poorly.
Wix is better than OEM. On my second 2.4l theata engine. Gave my old Sorrento to my daughter with 157000 miles on it and at 202000 it's still running strong but it burns about a quart a week with heavy driving. Currently driving a 2015 sonata sport and it's still going strong at 90000 miles.
Try to source OEM Hyundai oil filter though. I've heard that ticking before with non-OE filters, and regardless of what shops tell you the OE filter can make a difference.
I have my KIA serviced elsewhere but purchase OEM filters to provide them just for this reason. Heard too many stories like this. Plus, could be some off brand filters aren\u2019t designed properly for the engine.
I have an 07 with the 2.4 with 170,000km on it. I change my oil myself every 5000km, and use the Hyundai OEM blue filters. Still runs like a dream.
