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.
I go for K&N. No complaints. Also, they have that nut on the end, so you can wrench it off.
I've been running Castrol 5w40 in my cars for years. Started in my '99 Beetle 2.0 and now my 1.8T GTI. I use the K&N filter but I get the one for the Passat since its larger.
Been doing it myself with full synthetic and k&n performance filters every 3k ever since.
K&N filters are beefier, my old VRs filters used to come out looking like that. The only filter that would withstand the vr and keep its shape was the k & n
I use K&N oil filters sometimes, a little cheaper than oem but they are quality.
I ran K&N oil cone filter on a LT1 motor for 3 years in FL and now for 5 years on my 1.8t. Never any problems whatsoever.
second oil change i used 0w-30 with a KN oil filter and it felt like it had more torque off the line. It could just be a placebo effect but that's what I feel.
Most cars in my house get cheap bulk ordered filters off RockAuto. Except the STI, that one has been getting K&N and soon switching to Wix. I’d never allow the oem trash cardboard filter near my car.
Mine was my oil filter! I used a k&n because they come with a oil change reminder sticker. Leaked like mad.
